I am sure many of you are like me right now...eagerly anticipating the new year, ready to start your resolutions...are they the same as last year? Mine is. It's like a ritual, get ready to burst into the New Year as a New Me and lose this weight, only to roll around to Christmas still over weight and looking forward to that fresh start. It's getting old. Every week, every holiday, every birthday every new year it's the same schpeal always starting over and never really starting in the first place.
I want to believe this year will be different. I have every intention of getting on track and getting down to bussiness on the first. And I am excited and I feel pumped up, but then I have that little voice saying "It's teh sam ething every year, it's just another gimmick, yet another big plan that you will fail at."
Dh told me I could take some art classes at a creative arts center that opened up about 20 minutes away, I am working now and loving my job, the lady I babysit for is moving and I'll be done with that by the end of the month probably sooner, my kids are less baby and toddler and more kids and can entertain themselves longer, it seems like things are shifting in my life. It seems like now is a good time to focus on myself. I turn 30 this year and totally blew my efforts to reach my goal by my birthday, but I can still reach my goal in my 30th year. It's not the first time that life has presented me with a golden opportunity, but maybe this time I won't blow it.
I would be really interested in doing a challenge, but again that voice reminds me that I have failed EVERY challenge I have ever done on here or on my own. So I don't know. Is anbody else up for a challenge. Maybe a month by month thing?
I'm thinking JUMP INTO JANUARY. We each set maybe 5 weekly or maybe daily goals and at least once a week check in and tell how we did. We get one point for each goal met or something. Then the next month we try to beat our previous score. Sounds a bit complicated, but kind of fun. Any ideas? Anyone wnat to try it?
It's been super quiet around here so I hope you guys join me after the Holiday crazies.
