Resolutions

Sorry I've been missing lately. The holidays in general have sapped me. Decorating, parties, festivities, baking, shopping and the like take their toll and unfortunately blogging falls way down on the list of to dos.

No complaints, 2006 was probably one of my better years, except for the folks health. With that momentum going I'm going to make some resolutions (ie: goals) and stick with them again this year. I'll check back in, probably quarterly, just so I can keep myself accountable.

2007 Resolutions

1.) Finish losing weight and get to and stay at goal.
(I'm .4 shy of 90 lbs. and I have anywhere between 30-50 lbs to go.)

2.) Become more financially proactive.
(I know nothing about our money and where we spend it. Personally, I think we can be wiser and I need to be more active with the bill paying. I'm going to read Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover.)

3.) Get off my ass and MOVE 3-5X a week.
(It's sad how little I've worked out and still lost the weight. I need to find an activity or activities that I enjoy and make me want to move.)

4.) Try a new recipe weekly.
(I tend to fall back on old favorites. I need to expand my menus.)

5.) Find my calling.
(I don't just need a job I need to find something that is suited to my personality.)

6.) Scrapbook more.
(I capture the special event pretty well. I need to work on the everyday mundane things. Special events are nice but I'm hoping to really capture a snapshot, day in the life, sorta feel.)

Allie-I'll be your weight coach if you'll be my "find your calling" coach. Deal?

Cmore-You nerd! Do you really want to see me bounce to "Let's Get Physical" with scissors in my hand? I think not! Besides, I'll give myself a black eye!

I could've written you list, I think mine is IDENTICAL!! We need to be each other's cheerleaders on this since we live so close to one another. We can show up on each other's doorstep and pop the other in the head when we fall off track big time! haha

There's a book called, "What Color is my Parachute," I've heard its pretty good with helping people determine what career they should have. Good luck darlin'!

Those resolutions are pretty similar to mine! I thought the same thing about making different meals and I just bought a cookbook! I thought maybe if I bought a cookbook I'd be more motivated to try something new. I've also gotten together with some friends at work to help get me motivated to workout and we go during our lunch hour. Friends are always good to have around to help you get going! Right now, for me, financially proactive is just trying to pay off my bills! Good luck with your resolutions!
