This 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 for 2009, I would like to celebrate first and foremost that I met a resolution from last year--to purchase my first home!!  So with that added responsibility, there are some new resolutions added to keep up the home as well!

Onto the Resolutions:

Health:

• I want to lose 100lbs and weigh under 220 by December 31st.
• I resolve to go to the gym at least twice a week and on Saturdays.
• My goal is to go to the gym at least four times a week.
• I want to be more stringent on brushing my teeth after lunch!
• I'm limiting myself to 1 fast food meal during the workweek.
• I want to cook at least two dinners a week.
• Friday lunch and Saturdays are my bad days - (if I'm good on Saturday though, I can be bad on Sunday)
• I have to remember that going out to eat doesn't mean I have to be bad!
• I will make my lunch Monday through Thursday!
• I will treat myself to spa sessions on an as needed basis.
• I will learn to write all this down!!  And keep it organized!!

Education/Cultural:

• I want to go to at least 2 lectures or seminars this year.
• I want to read more: I'm going to strive for 50 books this year.
