2012 Resolutions

It's a new year- and that means resolutions!  I'm going to try my hardest not to be a band-wagon resolutioner this year.  So I've written down my goals (it doesn't become a goal until you've written it down), and even wrote down what I need to do to accomplish these goals.  So these puppies are not just being posted on the blog, but also on the fridge, the bulletin board, and every other place I will be reminded to stick with it!

Here are mine!  

(Now what are yours?)

• Lose 50 Pounds
• Need to: Count Calories (have to eat about 1500 calories a day)
• Workout- Twice a day (or at least one high intensity workout in a day)
• Kick Processed foods!
• Be a Better Wife
• Make Meal Plans (And MAKE them!)
• Keep up with my weekly cleaning schedule (including laundry!)
• Adopt the "touch it once" rule.  Pick it up- put it away.  Spill it-wipe it.  Clean up as messes are made.
• Be a Better Mom
• Start waking up at the same time every morning (a decent time).
• Get the kids on a more structured schedule
• Designate time for learning and playing everyday
• Give my sincere and undivided attention when I play with them!
• Turn off the TV!!!!  Limit "Tube-Time" Everyday
• Go to Reading time at the Public Library
• Eat Meals at the table together
• Remember Family/Friends Birthdays and do something nice for them
• Do at the beginning of the month so you won't forget!!!
• Do More to invite the spirit
• Stop swearing (ya- I'm almost a sailor)
• Do my Personal Prayer and Scripture Study
• Do FAMILY prayer and scripture study
• Have weekly Family Home Evening
• Do my visiting teaching every month (with a willing and loving attitude)
• Be more grateful, and more positive.  Always have an attitude of Gratitude.  
• Love everyone, and judge others less.  "Jesus said love everyone, treat them kindly too". 

This may seems like a big list, but there are 365 days in a year.  I have 5 major goals for the year.  If I can cross off any of the smaller goals in this year, I will have had success (fact).  So here's to hoping that 2012 will be another great year filled with many happy memories, and lots of love and laughter! 

Happy New Year!
