Why Resolutions, Of Course!

Like everyone else I have goals I'd like to accomplish and New Year's is the time for composing some resolutions. While I know firsthand how likely I am to meet my goals, it's hard not to at least give it a go, so here goes!

• Start taking better care of myself. This is a pretty general statement to include the obvious eating better and exercising that goes hand in hand with the ever popular lose weight resolution but also includes taking my medication regularly, taking vitamins, appearance related hair & skin care.
• One entertainment item at a time. With my laptop usually mere feet away it has become habit to start watching TV & then pick up the computer. Neither thing gets all my attention so I miss parts of the show or movie & even blog posts end up taking way longer than they should. Most times I'm not even doing my "work" of writing posts or editing photos, usually I'm just browsing Pinterest or Facebok which can always wait.
• No more false modesty. I'm proud of my artistic abilities, so to say it's nothing is a lie.
• Eat better. I know that I mentioned it already but here's where I get more specific. The aim is to eat more protein, less carbohydrates, and to eat less processed food.
• Move more. Again to be specific... I have free time in the day where I could go for walks or do an exercise video in the house. I need to work the body I have. I'm only getting this one so I'd better take care of it. I'm too young & frankly fed up with being winded from simple tasks. the mark I leave on this world should be more than my asses' indention on the couch.
• Live on a budget. This does not mean living poorly. It means the opposite. It's knowing where the money goes. It would mean actually having money because we didn't waste gobs of it on who knows what. Having the bills paid on time and not scrambling to get funds together to avoid turn offs or calling up for extensions.

It's gonna take a lot of determination to make these resolutions stick, but I'm game to try. I have a big, big goal that I'd like to achieve (good friends, should know what it is) and some of these goals are important to making it happen as well as affecting how life is after. So fingers crossed!
