Happy New Year!

I love the idea of posting resolutions.  Mine, I will admit, will probably fall to the wayside within weeks of making them.  I do not have the strongest will power even as stubborn as I am!

1. Drink less soda.  Notice I said "drink less" and not "give up" soda.  I think I might actually be able to DO the drinking less but I KNOW that I'll fall off the wagon quickly if I try to give them up altogether. I HAVE switched from regular Coke to Coke Zero so that's something!
2. Lost a pound a week in 2011.  I really don't think this should be all that difficult.  I lost about 25-30 pounds in 2010 by just cutting out regular Cokes and NOT eating school lunches this school year.   School lunches are full of nothing but fats, sugars, and carbs.  Despite what you might like to believe they are not healthy. 
3. Quit caring what other people think.   Enough said. 
4. Develop a routine for chores and cleaning.  I know it will be easier to keep track of things if I have a routine as much as I HATE having a routine! Maybe a few list might help also. 
5. Spend more time with family and friends.  I tend to be a hermit and would happily stay at home most of the time.  I do enjoy my time with friends and family when I FORCE myself to go out and for those of you who know me best I really do force myself. 
6. Express my gratitude for something each and every day. 
7. Read more.  This should be pretty easy since I got my new Nook which I LOVE so much.  I would probably marry my Nook if I could!
8. Continue eating healthier.....started last year to be continued this year.  It really does become a habit after a while.  I also don't forbid myself from having anything.  I just try to make sure my healthy choices outweigh my less than healthy ones.
9. SAVE!! I need to save more...not that I have a ton left over at the end of the month but when I do I need to save it. 
10.  Go back to couponing.  I saved SO much money when I did....which could be applied to resolution number 9.

I like those resolutions. Don't get too overwhelmed though. Accomplishing one or two is a victory. Me? I just want to lose baby weight and be skinny. lol
