I have always had the usual... lose weight and then of course like "i won't drink pop for an entire year". Yeah, right.
This year I wrote a list without even really thinking about it but I like it and I am going to try my best to stick to it. Without further ado, here it is:
Goals/Resolutions - 2012:
♦ Take time for yourself without feeling guilty
♦ Be motivated
♦ Volunteer
♦ Exercise
♦ Be optimistic
♦ Stay positive
♦ Eat healthier
♦ Try new recipes
♦ Stress less
♦ Love more
♦ Be thankful
♦ Simplify
♦ Let things go
♦ Be kind
♦ Smile
♦ Read more
♦ Try new things, period.
♦ Blog more regularly
Although some of these may seem fundamental, I need to remind myself of these little things every day. 2011 was full of anxiety and stress for me and I was not a fan. My goal this year is to simplify things, let go of control issues, and live life to the fullest. My family ultimately comes first but I need to better myself in order to serve them the best that I can. So far, so good....
I got a Kindle Fire to spark my reading and so far it's been awesome. I have read The Hunger Games trilogy [another post in itself] and have since started Water for Elephants.
My goal is to try a new recipe each week, probably over the weekends which ties into trying new recipes/things and eating healthier. [i'll post that recipe too]
I am also going to post the recipes that I try each week. They aren't going to be gourmet, but as I am trying to stick more closely to our family budget, I am working off of whatever is on sale for the week. I'm a cheapo, and proud of it!!! Yes, I am a couponer too. It's awesome. :)
Happy Tuesday!
