I hate resolutions. They somehow make you feel inadequate as a human being. Like here are all the things you wanted to do and failed-so we make this time of the year the time to get it in gear… The thing is tho that you feel so rotten for your failures that there is no joy to try again. It is all just a bad, bad idea.
That said, I have made a few resolutions for myself. I’m determined that 2009 is going to be one that brings me peace in the areas that I can control. There are many wishes and dreams and hurts that I have no control over and instead of focusing on them, I am focusing on the change that is strong and willing inside of me. I’m pretty spectacular and I haven’t felt that way in a long ass time. It is about time I did something about that.
My resolutions for 2009:
1. My goal for the year is to lose 100 pounds.
2. Step up my exercise routine to be more balanced. Spinning, walking, weights and I would like to start yoga again.
3. Be vigilant about what I put into my body. I want to plan more for each week on what I will eat and when I will exercise.
There, I think that three is enough to go for in this year. I am going to be sitting down and figuring out the steps I need to take to make these happen. I won’t say I’m excited-that is the wrong term. I’m just solid. Yes, that’s it. I’m solid.
Be well in 2009,
Jen
