Goals for the New Year!

Tis the season of good food and drink and spending time with family and freinds. But with it comes New Years Resolutions, which statistically most people fail to follow through on. I refuse to be one of those people~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am asking my best sisters to commit to not being a statistic!!!!! Lets be the Winners not the norm!! I hate being normal

Here is my list for the New Year.

1. To make time for me. We tend to forget to do that.
2. To lose the remainder of my weight.
3. To exercise as that is sooooooooo important
4. To make time for my family and friends.
5. To be the best mom and wife I can!

To take some time and smell the roses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think we forget how precious life is.

Now my goals are not in order. To me they are all equally important.

Can you tell I have lots of time this morning.

I can't wait to hear yours.

:hiya:

Thanks, Katie - I've been thinking about goals but hadn't gotten to the point of being specific enough to write them down. I'll be working on it and let you know. Might take a while, though. Busy time of year, what with all that merrymaking to do!!

Happy Holidays!

I haven't made a New Year's resolution in years...for exactly the reason Cath mentioned. But putting them here will help me not to be a statistic...maybe...

1. Get back to being organized. Too many problems recently because I forgot or said "later".

2. Make more time to enjoy the grandkids.

3. Make exercise a part of every day.

4. Water...... I've got to do the water thing every day.


That's a good start.

:santa:

I gave up making resolutions years ago since it seemed that I was never able to live up to them. But ok........here goes:


1. I will be more patient with my mom and my dh. Why is it that the people we love the most are the ones we take out our frustrations on??

2. I will not gain back the weight I lost in the last year.........and I will possibly even lose a few more pounds.

3. I WILL make time for me (thank you Cath/Katie!! )

4. I will try not to get so stressed about silly little things that don't matter much in the long run anyway.

5. I will try to enjoy life to the fullest because you just never know..........and things can change in an instant.

6. I WILL catch a bigger bass than my biggest to date (6.5 lbs) somehow, somewhere!!!


Ann

Great idea!

My resolution for this year is to stay on the path to better eating and more activity for me and my family. That would mean more days OP than not. More days drinking my water than not. More active days than lazy days!

I have been posting at BEST and the thread before that (Hi Everyone... for over 1 year now. I am down 65 pounds in that one year. I WILL NOT PUT IT BACK ON!

Thanks BEST gang!

Traci

Way to go, Traci!!!

s,

Sue

Way to go Traci! That is just awesome!

New Year's Resolutions

1. Lose that last ten pounds before the end of March
2. Don't gain anything back that I've lost
3. Stay healthy
4. Try very very hard to remember what it was like to be 17

See this is not so tough!

Traci you have done so well you must be very proud. I am proud of you that is for sure. You and Ann have really truly motivated me.

I love your resolutions everyone. I think I may steal some of them

I know we can do this!!. With the strength we each have inside us and the caring we get from each other we will have a great year. I truly am looking forward to the years we will all have together.

Weird how important you have all become to me.!!!


Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Talk to you all later.

Get this healthy lifestyle thing right!
Meaning:
1) Making better food choices at least most of the time.
2) Exercise more days per week than not.
3) Drinking my all my water each day.
4) Taking more time for *me* (esp. the time I spend here at BEST)
5) Journaling (foods and thoughts)


Best Wishes to each of you for the New Year!!


Take Care, Dawn

Thanks to all of you for your resolution ideas. Dawn - I really apprecaite your reminder to journal food AND thoughts... I will try that!
