Grateful for another try...

So I have decided to try and resuscitate this blog... YET AGAIN.  I guess I allow myself to get to so caught up in life that I don't get around to using it.  Perhaps shorter posts...

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!
