My New Year’s Resolutions
Besides the idea of supporting our troops more often, which I just blogged about earlier, I have two more things on my list of resolutions for 2009. I am not going to make things so hard for myself that I fail in keeping the resolutions. I want to set myself up to win, so two more are all I am going to add to my list:
1. Start using coupons again
I used to make a game out of it. I got a small thrill when I would be able to combine a store sale with a store coupons and a manufacturer’s coupon. I took the time at least once a week to comb sales flyers and couponing websites. I am going to make sure this is a part of my life once more in 2009.
2. Get Back In Shape
I lost 10 pounds in about 11 days. I am only weighing myself once a week. That way I won’t get panicky if I have a little fluctuation from one day to the next. However, I do plan on making weight loss a weekly occurring all though the next year. A little bit at a time, I plan to look like I did before I met my ex husband. That was a good place in my life – the before him time. ?
Good luck with your resolutions!
I’m a big fan of making resolutions, small or big, throughout the year, not just on January 1st.
So much so that myself and two friends created http://www.pledgehammer.com on our free time. It provides an easy way to write resolutions down with a deadline and share with whoever you want to share them with. This increases the chances of a resolution becoming a reality. It also has a charitable ‘flipside’ to it – if you can’t stick to your resolution Pledgehammer asks you to donate money to charity. So whether you stick to your resolution or not, either way the world will be a little bit better.
Would love to hear if this helps people keep their resolutions.
I’ve never made any NY resolution but for 2009, I’m so excited to have one
and I’ve got pleanty on my list.
