New Year, New Me

I love new beginnings...I used to get all jazzed up when the fall came because it was the start of a new school year and a chance to change things that just didn't seem right.  It was an opportunity to become a better person, focus your goals for the year, and reflect on what's most important to you in the coming year.

Well since I am no longer in school I have started to really treat New Years as it should be...the real time to start over.  Ever since I can remember, I have made New Years Resolutions.  I know some people think they are a waste...just hopefully goals that never get achieved and get swept under the rug, but I still do them.  I love to look back on my resolutions and see which ones I accomplished and which ones were just out of reach (automatic for next year!).  So, in the spirit of the new year...here is my (working) list for this year:

• Get down to 125 lbs 
• Work out at least 3 times a week unless sick or on vacation
• Track diet with livestrong
• Sign up for yoga and pilates

• Complete a half marathon
• Save $5,000
• Maintain blog and increase network
• Make money with sewing/craft projects
• Get promoted to CPT
• Earn at least a 270 on PT test
• Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day
• Join a "mom" network in Melbourne
• Find a job
• Be the best wife and mother I can be (not really sure how to make this quantifiable)

So there you have it...perhaps I will think of some more in the coming days and add them in.  Till then, must log on to Livestrong.com so I can track my food!
