Every single year I make resolutions, with nothing but the best of intentions. But by mid-February, they are all but forgotten as I go back to my bad girl ways. This time around, things feel different. Either I am honestly ready to become a different, and better, person, or the wine I've been greedily sipping all evening has taken effect. In any event, here are the promises I will make for 2011, and hopefully I will make a better attempt to keep them, and thus improve my life. We will see how I feel after my hangover tomorrow = )
1. Lose 30 pounds by my birthday. I feel that this is a decent, attainable number, and the fact that I have a set time period is more helpful.
2. Stop stalking my ex! Who cares whether his car is parked at his parents house, or what he changed his Facebook status to. He's my ex for a reason... he was a loser douchebag that squandered the chance he had with me, and didn't deserve me in the first place.
3. Save more money. My tips alone could make me a millionaire, if I didnt blow them on useless crap. Also, I am going to try to limit my eating out to 2 times per month... except when I am on a date, of course.
4. Do one new thing every month. Be it join yoga, start a book club, learn to snowboard, whatever. I should be doing things I want to, and meeting new people in the process.
5. Keep up on my housework. I HATE dishes, get lazy about vacuuming, and sometimes leave clean clothes in laundryt baskets/the dryer for weeks. Not cool, and not helpful in the long run.
That's it for this year. Usually I make insane list of up to or over 10 things, but 5 is a small number for my standards, and since each of the things are certainly doable, I don't think I will disappoint myself. So lets finish my wine and head to bed to start the new year without a hangover for the first time since... I don't remember when.
