So the gifts have been given, the baked goods are all eaten, and the confetti has settled. 2012 is here. Now what? I guess it’s time for the good ole New Years Resolutions to start flying. I’ve decided that this is the year that I’m going to grow up and become a lady. I’m not in college anymore, and while I believe I am mature, I don’t have a lifestyle like what I pictured myself to have at 25, as a married woman. It's time to act like an adult. But I also think that Ben and I need to have more fun. 2011 was, quite frankly, a waste of a year for us. Work was all consuming and we didn’t get to relax, travel, or visit family and friends nearly as much as we would have liked. Life is too short. We've got a promising start there, with a trip to New Orleans on the books for this month. So here are my resolutions, which I plan to tackle slowly, so as to not get overwhelmed.
1.)Make Working Out a Habit
You know those annoying people that set their alarms an hour early every weekday to go run, or who always bring their gym bag to work and
actually go to the gym after work? I would like to be one of those annoying people, preferably the latter because mama needs her beauty rest. And lots of coffee in the morning before I can do anything useful. We have gym memberships that we never, ever use, and the waste of money makes me sick thinking of
these earrings that I could have bought with that money instead. So I'm going to start working out, after work,
every almost every day. And no, this isn't one of those cliche resolutions like, "this is the year I will lose 10 pounds and fit into my high school jeans". While that would indeed be nice, I want to make working out a habit because I know it's good for my health. It's 2012 people; we know the benefits of regular exercise and if the world doesn't end this year, I want to live for a long, long time. Plus, my energy is serious lacking. You would think I'm 90 years old the way I complain about being tired all the time. And I think working out could help with that situation. So there ya go.
2.)Make cleaning a habit.
Notice a trend here? 2012 will be the year of good habits. Remember
this post from back in October about keeping my house spotlessly clean in 15 minutes a day? Yeah, that didn't happen, mainly because of my lack of energy when I get home from work. So hopefully if I can make resolution 1 happen, resolution 2 will follow. I did pick up some handy tips on how to make your own cleaning supplies, which is not only good for my health and the environment, but insanely cheap, all of which make cleaning a much more enjoyable experience. Blog on green cleaning to follow soon.
There, that's it. Nothing crazy. It's not like I've promised to floss daily, or something else
impossible like that. I can do this. I've heard that if you can do something for 30 days, it will become a habit. I've already screwed up the first 5 days of this month, but starting
tonight tomorrow, I'm going to get to work on healthy habits for 2012!
