Okay, so I haven't really written out a New Year's resolution since the 10th grade. I think back then it was something along the lines of "Don't put up with stupid friends that want to walk all over you. Put your foot down and get a spine." It still took a few years for that one to take hold, but oh well.....
This year I have decided that I'm going to have 2 resolutions. The first one is the same as about 98% of the female population of this country: lose weight. My goal is somewhere around my high school weight, but I will make due with my pre-baby weight. (That would be my FIRST baby.) I'm going to save the numbers for when I actually get there. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up. :) I also decided that the best way to accomplish this goal is to not eat so much. I don't listen to when I'm full. I completely ignore it until I clean my plate. (Bad habit from when I was younger...) Also, I'm not going to deprive myself of stuff I like. Like right now, we just had a birthday for Monkey #2 yesterday and I have Devil's Food Chocolate cake in the kitchen. I'm not going to NOT eat it. I will just eat a little. And then stop. Also, if I have the cake, I won't eat as much dinner or have an afternoon snack. These are all simple things, yet I have ignored them for the last 6 years or so.
Number 2 resolution is that I will, in the morning, come up with one thing that I want to accomplish for the day and it WILL be finished by the time I go to bed. I know that doesn't sound like that big a deal, but when you are a complete procrastinator like me and have three little kids that you use as an excuse for getting any and every thing done, it's a big deal.
I think that's it. I'll let you know how it goes. I figure if I write them down, them I'm accountable and someone may come back in a few months and say, "How's that New Year's resolution thing going?" I would hate to say, "Duh, I forgot about them..." :)
