What is your New Years Resolution?

[leqet]

I don't really like to make resolutions, but this year I hope to read through the Bible in a year. I try to do it every year but don't quite make it all the way through. I really fell off the wagon in 2010 and while I read everyday I didn't keep the plan AT ALL. I have used lots of different plans over the years. This is the plan I'm going to try this year: http://www.bhpublishinggroup.com/readthebible/downloads/RBL-reading-plan.pdf

I have been contemplating New Years resolutions for a week or so now, and here is what I have come up with...

- Get rid of this muffin top that has taken up residence on my waist since the birth of LO
- Pay off hubs' Harley (or get it very close to being paid off)
- Get a decent amount set aside in our savings account
- Be a better wife and mother. The Proverbs 31 woman is my aspiration.
- To take better care of myself. Part of being a better mom/wife is taking care of myself, so that I feel better able to take care of others. It's an energy thing I suppose. I'm going to carve out an hour each week to do as I please (shop, bubble bath, etc.).

While I have joined a few of the challenges threads and I will do my best with them. My actual New Years resolution is to be happy. To do what I do everyday with a smile on my face. I do things that make me happy. To be happy and count my blessings. I am usually a cup is half full type person anyways but I want to just take more time and smell the roses and be happy about life. Of course there are going to be days when life sucks, but overall I want to have a happy 2011!

Exercise. Lose 10 pounds. I need to lose more, but we'll start with 10.

Start watching True Blood again (DH and I watch it on our exercise machines. We've never watched it doing anything else).

My resolution is to stop playing Farmville/Frountierville/Cityville/etc.
It really is wasting my time!!!
I have completely stopped couponing and doing surveys because of it, and thats not good!

I feel really bad.... I had 2 resolutions - less soda, more water. It is only day 11 in the new year and I have done nothing different at all.....

Anyone else in the same boat so that I can feel better?

The easiest thing to do is not buy it. I rarely buy pop. Now, if I can get 12 packs of Dr Pepper for $2.50 or less, all bets are off, but I can make a 12 pack last for a long time. The only time I really drink pop is when I go out to eat.

Why not try just one of those things. Focus on drinking more water first.

Last year my resolution was: to drink more alcohol. I know , odd resolution ! But everyone I know drinks and I never do so I thought I would resolve to give it a shot. BUT, I failed! I only drank once last year. I just don't like drinking.
Anyway I came to realize that what it was really about was doing something for myself!! Something that makes me happy, not something that makes others happy.
SO this year I resolved to do more for my own happiness. Such as going out to dinner with my friends or renting a goofy movie just cuz I want to. Just small things. But small things that you do for yourself make you a happier person, which means it's good for your family cuz since you ae happier you are nicer. Right!?! Anyway that's what I told my kids on my way out to eat at fave restaurant with my friend and no they couldn't come!!
