A New Year

Happy New Year! 2007! Ahh, reflecting on the year past and looking ahead to the new year. Even if you claim to be someone who doesn't do the "resolutions" thing, I am willing to bet that you don't truly escape the hype of the new year. Personally, I try to not get too caught up in the hype, but inevitably, I do to some degree. I think that I try to do reverse psychology on myself, which doesn't work out very well. I guess that I try to get over the idea that resolutions are just for the new year, not the whole year through and therefore, I try to pretend that mine are not new year's resolutions, but something different. Let's be honest, mine are the same as everyone else's! Every year, I resolve to do better with eating and exercise. I usually have some sort of plan and waxes and wanes throughout the year. And inevitably by the end of the year, it's time to revamp the plan for yet another new year's resolution. This year is no different. The differences this year are:
1) I have list of resolutions, not just one or two
2) I'm not pregnant or getting ready to deliver a baby

Here's some of my list for 2007:
* Keep my blog updated weekly (at least)
* Build into the kids (in all ways)
* Get caught up on my kids' scrapbooks
* Get serious about eating right and exercising
* Work hard on learning more about neuro science for work
* Do better with keeping up with my friends from different states
* Work on getting the house ready to sell
* Take TIME to connect and invest in a new church
* Grow my Spiritual disciplines (this should top the list)


So much to do... so little time. Another one of my problems! I'm impatient and therefore I get bored easily. If something doesn't work quickly, it's likely that I'll begin to lose interest. Shedding a little more light on why I have such an issue with losing weight. It really comes down to discipline and resolve. How bad do I want it? and How much an I willing to work to get it? And so the list goes on! I'm sure I'll be updating the progress of my list as the year goes on!

Happy New Year and Happy resolving!
