1) Get the body I've always wanted. I've never really dialed in my nutrition and truly focused on getting the aesthetic I wanted and I really want to focus and get leaner this year. I struggle with program hopping with my workouts as well, when I try and focus on getting lean I end up giving up with the mentality of "being strong is cooler than being lean" or " id rather be underestimated" or even "looks are subjective". Now I still do believe those things but I think I need to accept the fact( and I've kinda been ashamed to admit it) that I wanna look good naked 🤷 and achieve what I feel that looks like for me. Not trying to get absolutely jacked,but I would like to feel confident with a shirt off.
2)quit drinking...now this one is obvious,now I never considered myself an alcoholic but throughout 2024 I definitely used alcohol as a crutch and now that I look back,had I taken all the bar tabs I paid for I could have easily paid for one of my dream vacations (currently really want to see iceland) but instead I sat in dive bars and drank and never really felt like I had some awesome experience because of it. On top of the fact that drinking conflicts with all my fitness goals. I'm genuinely sick of waking up hungover, losing almost an entire day,eating like absolute shit the entire weekend, I'm just over it. So many people I admire gave up drinking and say it's the best thing they've ever done and while I definitely see the value in having a drink or two with family of friends and how that adds to quality of life,with myself, I don't stop at just couple, I always drink to get drunk and though I don't have something terrible or embarrassing that I've done as a result of drinking...of I keep knocking on the devils door, eventually someone's gonna answer.
3) be open to new experiences,I tend to be reclusive or stick to my comfort zone. I wanna see new places,do something I've never done, instead of using my money on bars or using vacation as an excuse to get fucked up,I wanna sight see and do things unique to wherever I go
4) get control of my finances. I've been irresponsible with money my whole life,I definitely have a problem with online shopping and when I look at all the nonsense I've bought, how much of it actually added any value? Not a whole lot. I wanna use money for experiences,not things
5) do my best to overcome insecurities. I struggle with body image issues and I always self deprecate or put myself down/knock myself down, and that's stopped me from trying new things,especially my struggle to meet and talk to women. Now I fully understand that everyone has insecurities and there will probably always be SOMETHING, but I no longer what that to control my decision making
