5 for Five

This post contains affiliate links.

Merry Christmas Eve!!! I can say that right? LOL! I don’t know about you but Christmas Eve is where it’s at in my Family…Sophie and I are down south for the next two days and tonight is Christmas at my Dad’s and tomorrow is Christmas at my Grandma’s. Fun stuff…

We don’t so gifts anymore…only gifts for the babies. It’s such a relief not having to buy a TON of unnecessary gifts for people. Honestly, I am an adult and I buy what I want anyway and that’s how everyone was starting to feel (plus we are all on budgets now) so it’s just easier not buying a ton of gifts for everyone and their mamma.

Anyway, back to the reason for today’s post….

Today I am linking up again with Jenn and Jessica for 5 for Five! Let’s see how I did last week…

1. Do not spend any unnecessary monies. I am super proud of myself this week! The only thing I spent money on that wasn’t planned was lunch with my friend Elizabeth Friday but a girl has to eat right?

2. Take Sophie for a real walk. I am sad to say that this didn’t happen. It was soooo cold and windy though!! BOO!!! Come back fall!!!

3. Do another room tour blog post. Check! Check out my Living Room.

4. Try 2 new recipes this week (1/2). I tried one so this is a sort of win right? I made Cheater’s Cajun Chicken Mac & Cheese and it was sooooo yummy!!

5. Do a protein shake for breakfast on the mornings I work (1/2). I only worked three days this week and one of those days I didn’t have to be at work until 2:30pm. The two days I did work I only made a shake one morning….OOPS!! I was running late Monday morning. My bad….

I didn’t do terrible but it wasn’t my best effort either. Here are my goals for this coming week:

1. Drink a protein shake on mornings I have to work. I’m trying this one again.

2. Do not spend any unnecessary monies.

3. Do not eat any fast food.

4. Drink at least two LARGE glasses/mugs of water each day.

5. Go through clothes and make a donation to Goodwill.

    Merry Christmas Eve, Ricci!!! I hope that you have a fantastic Christmas with your families! Thanks for linking up with us even though it’s the holiday- love it!

    You didn’t do too bad at all last week! Great job with not spending extra money! That is one goal that I did NOT succeed at this week.

    Great goals for the week ahead! Seriously, I could stand to do EVERY SINGLE ONE of those, too! I think I may be saving some of these ideas for my {5 for Five} in a few weeks.

    Thanks again for supporting us- as always!

    Merry Merry Christmas!

    The Carnation Instant Breakfast shakes are pretty good. I highly recommend the chocolate.

    Merry Christmas!

    That’s such a nice gesture to go through clothes and donate old ones to Goodwill! Good for you!

    Merry Christmas

    Good luck with your goals! I love the good will one. I need to do that and declutter my wardrobe and house. I may have to use that one one week too!

    I’m definitely with you on #4, I don’t drink enough water at all. But when there’s coffee or Coke to choose from… water just doesn’t do it for me! ;)

    Best wishes on your goals for the week, Ricci! :)
