2012 Year Resolutions
Dec. 31st, 2012 11:59 pmThis Journal is as much about completing my resolutions as they are meeting my weight loss goals. So that I see them and remind myself that I am indeed insane, I'm posting them up at the very top of the journal. Consider this a call for cheerleading! I am in need of someone (or several someones) who can cheerlead me through these resolutions!
As you can see, this post does not say "NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS as I'm writing this on April 30th of 2012. 2012 started rough with a brand new job followed by several rounds of bronchitis and recovering from the stress of my previous job. For the first time in many months I feel like I can actually begin the year like I should have back in January. For the first time, I also have some specific goal dates in mind for weight loss. I want to look good for my trip to New Zealand, but that means 100+ pounds down in 7 months, which is about 17 pounds a month. Its definitely doable, but from here on out, I will need not to lose track, period. I've also started on Weight Watchers online, but haven't up until this point seriously committed.
Onto the Resolutions:
Health:
Organization:
Financial:
Employment:

- Friday lunch and Saturdays are my not-so-stringent days - (if I'm good on Saturday though, I can be not-so-stringent on Sunday)
- I have to remember that going out to eat doesn't mean I have to be bad!
- I will absolutely stay on my diet track Monday through Thursday!
