Posted by Mrs. Claus on 12/18/2008, 1:45 pm, in reply to "So you say you want a resolution..."
I make my resolutions like they're a To Do list. I give myself the whole year, rather than setting a short time limit (ex: I give myself the year to lose X pounds, rather than limiting myself to losing 20 pounds in 3 months). So for the next year, I'll be working on a few things.
-Lose another 20 pounds (I've managed to drop 19 this year, so I have 2 weeks to lose that last pesky pound)
-continue eating sensibly, and perhaps make my diet a little more stringent. (cut out even more starch if possible...I don't eat much now, but I wonder if I can trim off more)
-continue with my PT for my back (I don't go in, but I have a set of daily exercises to do for my back)
-Use more coupons to save money (seriously. We saved almost $850 this year using coupons)
I'm sure I have more things to work on, but I can't think of any at the moment.
