New year's resolutions (2012)
 

(1) What will they be this year?

(2) What will it take for you to keep them?

Re: New year's resolutions (2012)
 

(1) Exercise on a regular basis.
(2) Given the nature of my work (prof. who is sitting at a computer a lot), I will need to schedule exercise times each week into my calendar and will start this wee. I will also set realistic goals. A little afraid to go public on this.

Well if my hands and feet getback to normal, go on my daily walks . Live life to the fullest, enjoy family and friends. Travel a lot, Jeanette

Re: New year's resolutions (2012)
 

Hi. The daily walks sound wonderful. And so do the rest of your plans!

I began my New Year resolution to finally quit smoking a week earlier than usual, hubby and I are now a full week off cigs and I feel so much better on my daily walks and swimming I can't imagine ever not being a non smoker:)

Re: New year's resolutions (2012)
 

1) clean up my diet - been too lenient with yummy treats & desserts, not to mention all that sugar just isn't good for me/anyone!
2) walk my dog regularly & get some scheduled, structured exercise in

Karen - I know of a GREAT Pilates studio to help you get going on your resolutions! Seriously, let me be a part of your success;)
TriciaK - Bravo to you & your husband. One full week off cigs is just the beginning of the rest of your life!

Keep the Faith~

Way to got Tricia. I was a smoker for many years. I really did not have a problem quitting either. The price of them now is outragious, don't know how people can afford them. I know of one young man who lives in Scotland and he takes holidays in Spain and stocks up over there. He says they are a lot cheaper too. Keep up the good work, Jeanette

Tricia,
Keep going girl- do not go back!

I'm rooting for Karen!! Gonna see if I can live vicariously on your success!! That way its easier for me!HAHA

Re: New year's resolutions (2012)
 

Organize all my photos. My oldest son is 25 and I still have them in various boxes, unorganized, scattered in closets and under the bed, etc.

Scrapbook them. I know I won't finish them all this year but I'd like to do a couple. I am a very artistic scrapbooker and each page takes forever and costs a fortune, so my goal is to get them in albums and worry about the art later.

I start tomorrow with my trip to Hawaii back in '08. I am starting there because I have all the photos in one place. Almost all, anyway. ;)

I am going to spend an hour tomorrow digging through a plastic bin of photos and trying to sort them somehow. Since they can't be chronological (no dates on them) I'll just do generic. Child #1, baby. Child #2, baby. Child #1, Shool years. Holidays. Vacations. etc., best I can.

I also need to decide if I am going back to work or not. And, I need to gain ten pounds. :)

What it will take is not procrastinating and overthinking it and being an overacheiver. Simple is OKAY!!!!

Work out more regularly and pay it forward,(helping others diagnosed locally with breast cancer).

Re: New year's resolutions (2012)
 

Oh Rhonda, lets just try together. That way it will be half as difficult (at least I think so, I was never a math person).

Re: New year's resolutions (2012)
 

Cool Breeze,
Yes, one thing at a time: "First things first".

Re: New year's resolutions (2012)
 

Rina,
Sound like good plans!
I like your pay it forward.

Re: New year's resolutions (2012)
 

Thanks ladies and wish we had had the courage to do it a long time ago but better late than never:)

Good luck to Karen and everyone on their new resolutions!!

Re: New year's resolutions (2012)
 

I'm starting with one week off all refined sugar-I love/hate all those cookise I gobbled during the holidays
And then it's back to the whole grain mostly veggie diet!

Re: New year's resolutions (2012)
 

Tricia,
You are so right. Always better late than never!
