Regardless, 2012 was a breakthrough year for me. I am at a great job and my family is doing great. So this year I hope to tie up the dangling ends...get finances in order, finish the household project and most importantly, enjoy life.
I actually like resolutions because they are an example of new beginnings and how things can improves. Interesting thing, I checked last years resolutions and they are pretty much the same for this year:
1. Lose 10 pounds. While I am essentially the same weight I have been for a few years, I would love to be a little leaner. Thus, resolution #2.
2. Workout 5 days a week. I usually workout 3 times a week but I think I need a bit more now that I have entered my fabulous 40's. Importantly, I am not delusional...I know I am not going to always be able to do a super long workout but I can certainly find 30 minutes each work day.
3. Read 25 books this year. I have always been a voracious reader but nowadays I spend way to much time plopped in front of the TV watching reality shows. It's time for a breakthrough, right?
4. Stop frivolous shopping. I REALLY like shopping and I have an overstuffed closet to prove it. Further, we remain in the throws of a recession so my family is counting pennies. Therefore, I will curb purchases with the only purchases being either thrifted or gift card funded purchases.
So does this mean I pretty much failed last year...HMMM...I think there is just room for improvement.
I'm ready... LETS GO!
