2010 - Update and New Year's Resolutions

Wow! It's been quite a while since I've posted anything! Life has been extremely crazy this last month what with working at the Post Office, training at JetBlue, Christmas activities, Christmas shopping, working on a project for my Grandma, and of course I had to try to squeeze in a little time to eat and sleep!

I took a ton of pictures at the family Christmas party, some of which I've posted on facebook, but a lot of which haven't made it on there yet. I have every intention of posting info about Christmas. Hopefully that'll happen within the next few days!

2010....really?....Are we sure?....Where in the world did the last ten years go!?! It seems like it was just yesterday that everyone was freaking out about Y2K and talking about how odd it'd be not to say 19..(whatever year). Now we've entered a whole new decade!

So, new decade, new year, seems like the perfect time for some New Years Resolutions! I don't think that I've ever once truly stuck with a New Year's resolution before. But it's a new decade! What better time to finally succeed?! So, here's the plan. Typically I don't share my resolutions with anyone. Maybe that's why I always fail. There isn't anyone that I feel accountable to besides myself. So, first step: Share my resolutions with all of you! Or at least share it with the two people that read my blog! :) Next step: For the first few months, I am going to post once a week with updates about how I am doing with my resolutions. Maybe if I feel accountable to someone else, I'll actually stick with it! After that, at least once a month I will again update you on how I'm doing! At the end of the year, we'll see how I did! Here goes!

#1 - EAT 3 MEALS A DAY - Yeah, I know that probably sounds like a REALLY odd resolution. But here's the thing. I want to work on losing weight, and one of my big problems is that I don't eat often enough. For at least the last 5 years, I have typically eaten only once, maybe twice a day. That's not a good thing! My body always thinks that I am starving it. It doesn't matter how good I start eating, or how much I exercise. If my body thinks that I'm starving it, I wont lose any weight!

#2 - EAT HEALTHY - Pretty self explanatory. I need to cut out most of the junk food and fast food. I wont say that I am going to cut it all out, because honestly that just wont happen. But instead of being an every day occurrence, it needs to become a rare treat!

#3 - EXERCISE AT LEAST 4 TIMES A WEEK - This is a big one for me! I really need to start exercising a lot more than I currently do. So, whether it's walking on the treadmill, Pilate's, balance ball, or playing on the Wii Fit, I need to start working out at least 4 times a week.

#4 - STAY ON TRACK FINANCIALLY - Not going to go into detail here, because honestly I don't understand when people share all of the details of their finances. I'll just say that a few months ago I set some goals for myself financially. So far I've done a pretty good job with sticking with them. So, I just want to keep on track with that!

So, there we go! Those are my New Year's Resolutions. Hopefully this year I can finally stick with them! This Saturday, I'll give you an update on how the first week's gone.

Happy New Year to everyone, and good luck with your own resolutions!
