New Year's Resolutions?

SummerLove21

Anyone do them?  What are yours this year?

I'll be rejoining Weight Watchers soon...not really a resolution as much as a "lose the baby weight" deal.  I am fine on the 40 points program, and this kid eats even more that her brother did so I am actually dropping the weight fairly quickly.  Hoping I can use that to get back to my goal weight.  And I'm intrigued by this new "coaching" aspect of it.

Otherwise...I have two goals this year.  One is to say what I want/mean instead of always trying to placate or walk on eggshells around people.  It always gets me into situations I don't want to be in.  I need to be firm about what I want/need and not feel guilty about that.

The second one is to be more active in my spiritual desires.  I want to be better about the little things: prayer, scripture study, service, etc.  I just get lazy and complacent and those things tend to fall by the wayside.  I want to make more of an effort to keep them an important part of life.

It seems like it's always the same one, lose some weight!!

I'd also like to make sure I'm more present with DH.  Between work and the kids, he definitely gets short shrift some times in terms of how much energy/attention I have to give.  I'd like to try to be better about it.

I think my resolution is going to be to read my Bible through in a year. I haven't done it since I was a teenager. Recently I have been trying to read it more but it's still not much. We had a good sermon on Sunday about making it a priority in our lives and I was pretty convicted since reading my Bible is not very high on my priority list. It will be a challenge some days but I really want to do it.

I'm committing to spend 30 minutes everyday with no distractions enjoying my children. Even if I have other stuff that needs to get done. I'm sure I will fail some days but I want to enjoy my time home with them because I know it won't be forever.

Try to be a less grumpy bitch. I need to try to keep things in order so i get less overwheled. That or learn to let things go more

I'm going to try to read at least 2 real books (as in not kids' picture books) per month.  I used to read at least a book a week, but since DD was born I think I can count on one hand the number of novels I've read.  Although I currently have three books checked out from the library and two on my holds list, so hopefully that little bit of ambitiousness will motivate me. ;-)

I think I'm going to use a gratitude jar this year. It sounds like such a nice idea, and it will help me to point out the blessings in my life.

I have a few pounds I'd like to take off before my sister's wedding in early March.  Nothing major, five pounds should about do it.  I'd rather not have to wear Spanx under my bridesmaid's dress.

Also, I want to try to be less snippy with DH.  He and I have a tendency to snip at each other, and I want to stop doing that.  So even if he's snippy with me, I'm going to try to stay calm.

Usually my resolution is to lose weight but since I'm trying to get pregnant my goal is to maintain where I'm at.

So my real resolution is to be more patient with my son. Just be a better mom in general. Especially because if I do actually get pregnant this will be our last year just the three of us.

I resolve to resolve nothing!  Mission accomplished!  In all seriousness, I need to be better about setting a quitting time and turning my attention to my man at the end of the day.  I have several volunteer balls in the air right now and he keeps getting leftovers or nothing because I am done by night and my introverted self just wants to zone out on the interwebz.  I need to work on that.  But resolutions stress me out so I'm not calling it that.

Mine would be to have more patience. Have more patience with DH, as I pretty much have absolutely none with him. More patience with DD and our dogs. I find that I'm a very stressed out mommy/woman most days because I let everything get under my skin. DD deserves me at my best, not a stressed out mess. I want to be a better parent and wife.
