With 2011 come and gone, it is time to look to 2012 and what this year means. This year I start planning my wedding (J ) and start living my life the way I want to – happy and healthy both physically and mentally. Last year, I might not have completed all of my resolutions (I only read 13 books instead of the 26 I wanted) but the fact that I kept trying until December 31st was a huge step for me. Usually when I have any kind of resolutions, I will stop doing them about the 4th to 5th week of the year. I was proud that I kept at it no matter what got me in the way. However, I learned something when I wasn’t reading or writing as often as I wanted – I was less happy. Reading a great book or writing a blog or my short stories makes me happy and keeps me sane. That is something that I am planning on keeping with my throughout 2012 to keep pushing myself to reach that goal of 26 books and this year, 26 blog articles – starting with this one right here.
So here they are – my 2012 Resolutions that I am sticking to this year. And don’t be afraid to ask me how I am doing with them either. I want to keep myself in check but it is so much better when my friends and family keep me in check too!
1. Eat at home 5 nights a week.
2. Keep tracking food for Weight Watchers – 160 is my goal!
3. Write at least 1 blog every 2 weeks (at least 26 total for the year)
4. Read 26 books (1 every 2 weeks)
5. Work out 5 days a week.
6. Pay off 1 credit card.
7. Keep saving for my wedding!
8. Don’t deprive yourself of the foods you love – rather make healthier choices when it comes to food if you fall off one day and have a cookie (for example).
They are mostly the same as last year but this year I am determined to keep them and do them to the best of my ability. Good luck to everyone else making New Year’s Resolutions!
