It's officially 2012 and its time to make a few changes in my life. Nothing that is going to happen over night and some of these changes may be things that only people who are my near and dear may notice. I guess most people would call these New Year Resolutions, but I don't want to look at them as resolutions, I rather call them goals. I want to do these things for myself to make me a better person and to make me feel better. So I figured there was no better way to start this off than blogging about it. Mostly because this will be mostly a journal because I am not expecting to have many readers... but here goes nothing :)
Goals
1. Loose Weight- Now I know that everyone always says this.. its everyone's resolution to get to the gym and loose weight. Gyms are filled to the brim at the beginning of the year and most people fizzle out by February. I have been one of those people, I have said many times before that I wanted to loose weight, but i think that those times weren't for me, they were because someone else was encouraging me. This time I want it for me and I know that I am the only person that can do it and I am also the only person that is standing in my way. I am not going to let that happen any longer. I want to feel confident, comfortable, and able to do anything. My amazing and beautiful best friend will be tying the knot next January to an amazing man. They hope to travel with all of there closest family and friends to Hawaii to do so. If I am lucky I will be asked to stand up with them at there ceremony, which would be an amazing honor. I want to be able to go on this vacation and thoroughly enjoy myself like I never had before. So my goal is to loose and reasonable and healthy amount of weight by that time. I just need a little support from the ones that I love and a lot of confidence in myself. So wish me luck :)
2. Save- I am pretty awful at budgeting. Straight forward. Haha.. I work at Pier 1 Imports, and let me just tell you that I have the worse time not shopping wear I live. I have a pretty great discount and our store carries so many amazing things, and we mark them at such great prices that it is impossible not to shop. I already told you about jet setting to Hawaii at the beginning of next year and to do so... well.. its going to cost quite a bit. There is no way that I will miss out on this event so its time to stop the shopping and the eating out and start saving. It's going to take a lot of resisting but a trip to see my bestest get married and to live it up in paradise is way better than candles and dishes :)
3. Relationships- I feel like I need to take some time and energy and put it into building relationships. I have some amazing friends that I hardly spend time with. I need to put time and effort into my relationships with my brothers, I need to find ways to make things work with them and to spend more time with them. We have gone far to long apart and its time to fix that. It's only the 2nd day of the the new year and I can tell you that I have already started this one. :) I also have some friends that I just don't put time into because it seems like it takes to much effort. That is no excuse, I love these people and its time to get off my booty and spend time with them. Just need to have confidence in myself, I am totally capable of meeting new people, and I should do so or I may never meet mister right and that is exactly what I DO NOT want.
4. Read- I want to read way more and watch way less TV. I am way to addicted to reality TV and need to spend way less time doing that. I love to read so its crazy that I don't do more of it. I heard someone else say that they would like to try to read at least one book a month for the next year. I think I can do that. So... Here goes. And if anyone has some great suggestions.. i would love to hear them.
5. Craft/Cook- I have always considered myself to be a crafter. I just don't do enough of it. So its time to get on top of it! I also love to cook, and I needed to find a way to contribute to this house more (I am currently living with my mom and dad). So my goal is to craft and cook more and to share these things with you guys! maybe a few tutorials and recipes from time to time :)
6. Get my teeth whiter- its as simple as that.
7. Work- I need to find a more full time job. My work is so back and forth on my hours that i need to find something that is more stable and preferable not in the retail profession.
8. Blog- Last but not least.. I want to blog way more. Like I said in the beginning, I honestly don't expect to have any readers. I just want to use this as a journal and a way of keep myself honest. So from me you will be getting: my dieting ups and downs (which will hopefully be more ups than downs). Cooking and crafting, I want to should you all of my creative ways. Book reviews. and so many more things.
So stay tuned lovelys, so many good things to come in this new year.
