What would a New Year be without some resolutions. This year I'm doing 12 resolutions for 2012!
- Cut my debt by 40%.
- Read 25 books
- Log 10,000 fitness minute
- When I did my 1/2 marathon last year, I focused my running in terms of mileage. The goal was to get a certain number of miles in per week. I would like my running to become more time based and not mileage based.
- Go scale free
- I have issues with my scale. On some level, I know that I have an eating disorder. By weighing my self, I'm continuing the cycle of looking at food (and fitness) in terms of numbers. If I weigh "X" amount, than I need to do this amount of fitness or I can have this to eat. I'm so much more than a number on a scale.
- Become greener
- Buy locally or at the very least US made
- Strive to make time for friends and family
- I use to love making cards. I use to make cards all the time. I have enough card supplies to keep myself occupied for a couple of years; making cards! I need to get back into the habit of making cards and than....sending them. I'd like to strive to make enough cards that I could send them every month to a few of my girlfriends every month. Who wouldn't like to receive a piece of mail, that isn't junk mail or a bill? I know I would.
- I, also need to start spending time with my parents. Even if it's just calling once or twice a week to see how they are doing. I could right a book on my relationship with my folks; it's dysfunctional but yet it's functional.
- Limit my TV viewing to 1 hour/day
- The amount of time that I spend in front of the TV is time that is spent not doing things that are productive. Do I really need to see how Candy Spelling is selling her manor? How many episodes of Hoarders do I really need to view? I could be reading, making cards, cleaning, cooking, writing, walking, making love, etc. Life is passing me by, while I sit on the couch.
- Take a class for writing
- Do a modified version of the 366 project
- Increase my contributions to charities to $1200
- There are two charities that I really believe in; St. Anthony's Spiritual Center and St. Francis Horse Rescue Center. My goal is to send these two charities a check, every quarter, for $105
- Enjoy 2012
- I need to recognize that the life I'm living, this is it. There is no dress rehearsal, no do-overs. Let the fun begin.
