Here are a few, in no particular order:

1. This time last year, I was around 135 lbs and working out regularly. I would like to get back down to 145 lbs, at least. In order to do this, I shall eat more colorful foods....less fried, beige food....and drink more water. I shall endeavor to spend at least 3 hours a week in the gym and/or doing commited movement (aka NOT window shopping or dilly dallying around the house).

2. I shall rid myself of the bulk of the clutter that I have close to me now. I made a trip to Goodwill today, but that was a very small load. I would like to pare my clothing down to about half of what I have now. I know that I am a piler and a paper/receipt/thing collector and so, I shall develop a new, faster process of taking in/processing/using/recycling/ridding myself of those things.

3. My artistic side has been sorely neglected this year. I will commit more time to writing, scrapping, penpalling, and general crafting.

4. I will find creative ways to trim the budget. The purse strings will be drawn tighter this year and I need to modify my existing budget.

5. I will do my best to embrace the inevitable changes that will occur and find ways to adapt more easily to them without becoming upset so quickly. Basically, give in to the 'don't sweat the little stuff' movement and learn better coping skills for unforseen issues/problems/challenges that crop up. And breathing. Just breathe.

6. Sweet talk my car more and take better care of her so she won't have many expensive repairs.

7. Dance. I've always wanted to take classes but it just never worked out. It's not going to be in the budget to take classes, but maybe I can check videos out at the library or watch instructional youtube videos to improve that aspect of myself. If I can find a Y or a larger gym that has some dance classes that might be an option too.
