Resolutions

OK kids, it’s the first week of a new year, time to talk resolutions. By now, most folks are making their resolutions, have made them, or have already broken them. I’ve been giving them some semi-serious thought and find myself with the old clichés; lose weight, get in shape, and simplify my life (for me this means getting rid of stuff). I freely admit to being one of those people who make and break resolutions every year. While I don’t usually proclaim these ‘out loud’ . . . I figure if I don’t say them out loud, then I don’t have to publicly announce that I’ve broken them yet again . . . this year I’m putting them in this blog so they will be public knowledge!

So, before I make my big proclamation I figured I had better make these resolutions somewhat achievable; hey contrary to popular belief I’m not a total idiot! So here goes.

1. I will lose weight this year. That means I have to weigh less at the end of the year than I do now. In my attempt to achieve this goal I will try and eat something green every day . . .and I won’t count green M&M’s!
2. I will get in better shape. Since I’m in couch potato shape now, anything will be an improvement.
3. I will simplify my life by getting rid of stuff. The plan is to get rid of something for every new piece of something that comes into the house; so at a minimum I won’t be adding anything. Phase two is to get Le Husband to get rid of his pile of stuff stored in the basement, so I finish 2011 ahead of the game!

So there you have it, 2011 resolutions are official! Good luck to the rest of you out there on sticking to the resolutions.
