New Year's Resolutions--other than scrapping

[BarbaraS]

Other than scrapping resolutions, do you have any for the year?

And if you don't have resolutions per se, what goals do you have for the year?

I have a lot of goals for the year, but these three come to mind now:

1) Be in the best health I can be in by my 50th birthday (May), which includes losing ten pounds.
2) Exercise daily--and balance my exercise efforts by lifting weights, doing cardio, and stretching.
3) Eat as clean and healthful as possible.

I'm right up there for losing weight by May (my birthday is the 6th). I'd like to lose 20 (25 would get me back to high school weight, but I might be kidding myself)

Exercise daily, ouch... although that's a good goal... I might start with 3 or 4 times a week. I hate exercising!

I'm starting South Beach diet today, Atkins and SB have worked for me before, so I plan on sticking to it and just getting it over with. I hate not feeling my best, and when I eat too much junk food and pasta I can feel it.

I need to lose that last 15 lbs, and tone up while Im at it.

I need to get more organized. While I know that I have three kids and the house will never be perfect, I need a better way to organize.

I need to spend more time on ME. I tend to take all my effort and put it towards dh or the kids. It is time for me once in a while too. :)

My goals are to lose weight as well, 4kg down so far and many more to go :lol:

To get more organised in the house, and to continue to love Johnny and make him a very happy husband and friend :D

I am going to get more organized and get rid of clutter. I am making a list showing what I will work on, so that I have a guide to follow. I am working towards enjoying life more and taking time to smell the roses. I have a tendency to get stuck in the same old routine, so this will be good for me.

okay...kind of basic, but what I really need in my life right now...to get my dd potty trained before she turns 3 and get her to sleep in her own bed (not in mine).

[tracyask]

Oh, Ruby. We are also going through potty training. Hang in there! And I've heard from my mother's of twins group that potty training twins can kill you, so if you don't here from me in a while... :-)

Oh i know that feeling with the shareing your bed. I had the same problem.... i bought ja a new bed and put his own quilt set on it, made it feel special and had it right next to my bed , he took to it and was sleeping in his own bed even if it was in my room to begin with , when we moved here he got his own room but i had to stay with him till he fell asleep but he was sleeping in his own bed and it wasn't that long and he was sleeping on his own without me having to stay with him.
good luck with your potty training and getting your bed back to yourself again Ruby.

[chantryss]

Mine are faily simple:

Keep BP and Blood sugar under control.

Spend 15 mins a day with Mama, just talking.

Journal 3 times a week

[AndreaW]

Umm, well, here are my goals for this year...

1. Do my very best in school
2. I usually start off semesters organized but quickly mess it all up so I plan to be more organized from start to finish.
3. Complete potty training with Katie before she turns 3 (June)
4. Work hard to be a caring, loveing and patient wife and mother
5. Try not to let school completely stop me from scrapping for a while. I know I won't get to as much as I've been but my classes start back Monday and I want to still have the time to scrap.
6. Pass Anatomy with an A. It will be very hard because I've heard passing that class with an C is like getting a A in any other class. Half of the class drops by the middle of the semester because they're failing. I'm worried (wish me luck :lol: )

[BarbaraS]

Wow, y'all have some lofty goals! Applause!

[Kristie B.]

My resolutions are to respect myself and choose to eat healthier, add more regular exercise to my schedule instead of once in a while here and there, a Flybaby keeps trying to live here....someday she'll actually Fly.

I'm proud of myself though. My MIL and I both joined Weight Watchers almost right before Thanksgiving, and I have managed to maintain and lose through the holiday season!
