2012 is dwindling away. In the midst of all of the holiday hoopla, let's not wait until January to think about our goals for the coming year. As we spend days with our family and friends, let's think of what's important to us.
I guess I'll start. I'm going to focus on health related goals for the purposes of this post, though I'm certainly not trying to limit this thread to that! I will admit I'm not the happiest personally and professionally right now, but am also not ready to make the changes needed to in those areas. I will focus on health, because I am always happier when I'm feeling good in my own skin.
2013:
- Work on improving my self-esteem and not letting it be tied to my weight. No matter what I weigh at the end of the new year, I hope I feel better about myself. I've been really down on myself lately. Not sure how to actually do this... but need to make a change. I think it will start with a few new clothes that fit and flatter, and renewing my yoga attendance that fell off a bit in the last few months.
Repeats from last year:
- Lose 10 lbs. I said it last year, too. I was organizing pictures last night and was not happy with what I saw. I need to log my food, STICK TO a calorie count, and stop giving into drinking so much alcohol at social events.
- Come up with a more balanced/routine exercise regime. I'm hoping breaking away from the gym will help here rather than hinder. If I work out from home, it's always there, always an option, rather than thinking "oh I can't work out" when the gym is closed, since that's more and more frequent.
ETA 1/2/13: In thinking further, I really want to commit to doing more yoga in 2013. To achieve this goal, not just the abstract idea of achieving it, I've decided to commit to practicing yoga at least 3x per month. I'm even going to make a chart to post on the fridge. This will mean mostly making it to my weekly class 3x per month, but also should I get involved in a play/have rehearsals I will need to make it up by (gasp!) taking the time to do it at home.
