Resolutions.
January 1, 2010adminLet me preface this post with a quick statement regarding my feelings on resolutions. I like to make them, and always break them. But I still keep making them because I enjoy setting goals (whether abstract or concrete). Much like I enjoy making daily lists on yellow post-its and crossing off items with PURPOSE. So anyway, I guess what I’m trying to say here, after having just spent all day eating pasta, chocolate, bread, and peanut butter while laying on the couch with my dogs…is that I want to make some resolutions. Because it’s trendy, because I like the idea of change and fresh starts, even if by next year I haven’t been a total success. So here is my resolution “to-do” list in no particular order. And perhaps unconventionally, I plan on starting all of this TOMORROW (that would be January 2nd) considering today was sort of a day of loafing limbo.
1. Do at least 20 minutes of pilates or cardio 3 times weekly (not including weekly riding lesson).
2. Eat when hungry, and only when hungry.
3. Find and then exude confidence.
4. Enjoy my engagement and not turn into a true bridezilla.
5. Be a devoted and patient fiancee (or wife, come August).
6. Stay focused, positive and driven as I begin my new career.
7. Learn how to budget and manage school loan/credit debt.
8. Make more art.
9. Help my miniature dachshunds lose weight so they don’t develop horrible and expensive back conditions.
10. Make more meals instead of eating sandwiches or lean cuisines for dinner.
Reading them back to myself they don’t really look like resolutions. But to each his own. Those are just a few things I plan to work on in 2010. Life is about to change quite a bit for me starting Monday, so we’ll see how it goes! I will now get back to watching football (gag) with my fiance and the wieners (cute). Happy New Year!

weeee are watching football (GAG) here, too. ugh.
i didn’t make any resolutions last year because one year i made one (lost 60 lbs) and i DID IT and i don’t want to fuck with that, you know? i will be so disappointed if i fail.
BUUTTTT, although i’m not going to post it on my blog, because i don’t want any PRESSURE, i’m going to try to lose the 20 lbs. i gained when i met will. but i’m going to try to do it the RIGHT way, which i have never done before (meaning minus a pack of cigs a day, a diet of lettuce and vodka, etc.)
enjoy your 2010…this is your yeeeeeeeeeeeear, katelyn!!!
