Resolutions

This year I am making resolutions. For as long as I can remember, losing weight was my only resolution each year. And while it STILL is one for 2011, I have a couple more.

1) Read more. That hasn't been a problem, considering I've already started and finished two books this year. I read the Twilight series last year (reading books #3 and #4 twice, because they are my favorites)... and this year, I'd like to branch out. Granted, I'm half way through the True Blood series, so my "branching out" will have to wait until I finish 5 more books, I have some more respectable (non-vampire) books on my list.

2) Eat healthy and be HAPPY with my weight. I am not happy with my weight right now. But I want to be a the point where I'm not DAILY doing something to make my muffin top bigger. I think if I knew I was eating healthy, getting some form of exercise on a regular basis, and I was still this size, I would be ok with it. But I'm not. I am at my "I eat nachos and don't work out" weight. So something has to be done about that. In December, before we really moved into the holidays, I started counting calories and doing cardio daily. It was working out so well and I even lost about 7 pounds until Christmas came... and now I can't get back into it. So my goal is to start again this coming week and follow through with it. Turning 30 has given me a desire to be healthy and happy with myself. So I'm hoping I can conquer this one in the early months of 2011. I want to be feeling really good about myself when my birthday comes in April.

3) Clean up after myself. I'm not gonna lie... I'm lazy and I'm messy to live with. My side of the bathroom looks like my makeup bag and hair accessories threw up... its bad. Not to mention my coffee cups are everywhere too. So its my goal to work on that. As well as putting away my clothes. This is probably going to be the hardest of all 3 of my resolutions.

Anyway... they aren't exciting, but they are something I'm hoping to be serious about. Some people hate making resolutions and think its pointless, but I really do think its a good time to reevaluate where you are in life and to make some changes. And maybe I'm just more serious about it this year because I'm turning 30 in a few months. EEPS!!

  1. I am really messy too :( I try to have cleaning sprees every once in a while, but it's so hard just to do the little things like not throwing your clothes on the ground (oops).

  2. Isn't it funny how we tend to have the same resolutions every year? I guess that means we're not very good at keeping them, heh heh...

    I'm a slob too! I love to clean up, but then I gradually let everything get completely messy again just to clean it up again, lol.
