New Year's Resolutions

I know, today is January 30th. I'm 30 days late with my New Year's resolutions. BUT, I wanted to make sure my resolutions were attainable. So, I've been pondering, assessing, pondering some more and have finally come up with what I think are some attainable goals for 2011.

First and foremost: lose 50 pounds. At a rate of 1lb per week, this goal should be easily attainable. Tomorrow I start the Atkins diet. I've done this before and had awesome success. However, two babies later killed that success. Also, working out at the Y Monday-Friday mornings. They have a childcare room, so that won't be a problem or a hindrance to my workouts.

Secondly, I'd like to get one of my novels finished. That is a lofty goal, so I'm reducing it to writing an hour each day. Creative writing. And if that is working on a novel, a short story or just some character exercises - I'll be happy.

Third, I want to spend an hour each week working on the blogs. Mine, Ben's and Madi's. I've really gotten out of the habit of doing their updates and time has flown. So...time to get back into it.

Fourth, find my happy.

So, raise your glasses up! Here's to an improved me, one that's happier, healthier, creative and communicating. Happy New Year!
