While I've never been really goo at keeping resolutions, I decided that in 2010 I would try again. My goal is to take better care of ME. Do things that are (or should be) important to my health and the well being of my family. I even made weekly charts to keep me on track.
I want our family to eat at least 4 meals together each week. This is tough because Hubster often works late and then isn't hungry when he gets home. He also usually sleeps late on weekends and the kids eat breakfast before he gets up. I will prepare 4 meals that we can all sit down and eat together, even if it means the kids eat later than normal.
I want to work on getting organized. I'm committing to organizing all the rooms in the house. De-cluttering and putting everything in a specific place or in the garbage. I've already started on the dining area. Tossing out art projects from Boog's Kindergarten works (keeping a select few). I'm collecting all the office supplies (tape, pens, pencils, scissors, staplers, staples, glue etc.) from all the drawers and buckets and putting them all in one place. I'm sorting through piles of catalogs and magazines, cutting out recipes and crafts I want to make and tossing the rest. You get the idea, right?
I'm going to exercise. Yep, I said it. I'm going to exercise at least 3 hours a week. In minimum half hour increments. Still need to get Wii Fit Plus, will hopefully pick that up this weekend. I need to get healthier and back to a manageable weight. I'm also going to get to my yearly Dr.'s appointments...on time.
I'll do more laundry and hopefully, finally get caught up...and stay caught up...if that's even possible.
So, you see, nothing super tough. Just things for me. I'm pretty sure I can get it all done. A little focus and time and all will be good.
Anyone else make resolutions this year?
A good list, I'm particularly like the meal one. I honestly believe that's the biggest downfall of families. They don't eat together, therefore they don't communicate. Always loved meal time. Even as busy as my daughter was (truly the busiest human being I know), we did eat together...early or late, the time was less important than the fact that we were together. Kudos to you.

My New Year's resolution is to "build a better blog!" I just took the first step towards it by registering for a conference in March! So excited. Here is the link if anyone is interested...

I'm now a proud follower on "Google Friend" and also resolving to be a more dedicated EC dropper!
To make sure that I stick to my New Year's resolutions, I try to remember my (best) last year resolution and stick to it. I would also want to contribute a lot on Y!A, so more questions are answered and resolved. Without top contributors, like me, people won't be able to get and share knowledge to each other.
ReplyDeleteBecause what they really mean is "In 2010 I want to be thin and have a great body without any effort and I want chocolate and vegetables to switch places so the first is healthy and the second is not".
ReplyDeleteSeems like this time every year, everyone gets all excited about making New Year's resolutions...losing weight, exercising more, spending more time with their kids, praying more, reading the Bible more, etc. And, as the pattern goes, we get off track by February!
