Okay, I was thinking that 3fc made me more accountable for my diet. And, maybe if I wrote it down, make me more accountable for my 2010 goals? Anyone else?
Okay, mine are:
**get the house more organized. Hmmm.
**Run a half marathon. Don't have to be fast, just have to do it!
**work on my patience level. This might take divine intervention!
I'm always trying to get the house more organized...and it is, I have a tendency to keep raising my standards, though.
My first goal is to make it to 1 year OP, which is why I didn't eat the yummy corn chips in the cupboard last night. That is an attainable goal...AND THEN...keep going.
I'm getting back into list making. When I ran our sawmill, I was the list queen....in multiples....I'm looking forward to the new sense of organization that comes with a list.
I was already working on getting the dogs out more, but it's sure a hard time of year for that. We'll try today anyway.
Patience.....my best wishes go out to you! Half marathon...you can do it....and we can all cheer you on!
*Read to the kids every day - I've been slacking on this and it's so important, for all of us. They love to hear stories and I love the stress-free time that we have together. I'm thinking of reading to them while they eat lunch because trying to fit it into the bedtime routine hasn't been working out.
*Do a daily devotional time with Tom - He doesn't know about this yet. I probably should tell him.
*Focus on maintenance - I'm pretty good at losing weight, and super fantabulous at gaining it back, but I pretty much stink at maintaining a loss, so that's what I want to focus on this year. However slow it comes off, I am concentrating on KEEPING it off! Enough of this same ten pounds up and down all over again! ENOUGH I SAY!
*Get birthday cards and presents out on time - I was SO bad about that last year and I need to redeem myself.
I'll have to think about that a bit more before I make a "real" contribution. I know what I want to do, just not how to word it. I do know that 2010 is the year of ME!
Tammy, we actually have one. It was given to us when we did our pre-wedding counseling twelve years ago. It's been patiently sitting on the shelf ever since. Don't tell the pastor!
1) end the year thinner and more fit than I started it
2) More "me" time: not staying at work late and coming in early every day, taking time to read fun books on the metro, making sure I am studying but having fun on weekends too...

WOW, Kara, you said that well. That is EXACTLY my problem. I am always gaining or losing. NEVER maintaining! That may be my goal -- to maintain what I lose.
1) Clean/straighten up the house daily (I have made a daily "chore chart" for hubby and me to follow, seems juvenile but helps keep up with what needs doing
2) Attend mass every week
3) Lose a minimum of 50 lbs and keep it off
4) Make use of the gym membership we are paying for, at least 3 times per week
