What is your New Year's Resolution?
LILBIT1221

Mine is to make ME happy in 2012. All my adult life, I have put others ahead of myself. To a point, where I am constantly unhappy. Next year that is going to change. Not in a selfish way, but I will just make sure that I am as taken care of as the rest of the people I worry about. Does that make sense?
I would also like to lose weight, but I am trying to be realistic here! 
So, what is your resolution?
Yeah, I am PWing it up today. So.

Re: What is your New Year's Resolution?
I'm on the take care of me boat! : )
I'm going to wear more colors. I know, lame, but realistic to accomplish. I always wear brown, black or gray. This is the year of color for me!
last year it was to floss every day. Big fail. Although I do floss more now than I ever have.
2) run a half marathon
3) save more money
4) stick to my new cleaning schedule so I don't have to deep clean on weekends anymore.
I want to better myself, lose weight and not drive like such an ***.
1) Make an honest effort to look better: wear makeup, buy new clothes, accessorize
2) Do everything I can, within my means, to overcome 2IF
3) Buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (unless something more spectacular--and cheaper--is revealed at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show)
4) Get back on track with physical fitness, including resuming the Couch-to-5K program
Yeah, really I don't know why I am such an aggressive driver. Luckily, I don't drive like that with DS in the car so I am not sure why I do with just me.
I also need to cut down on the swearing. Sometimes I love swearing and then other times I feel like an idiot.
1) Finish p90x strong - I'm 32 days in and going great!
2) Read more books. Finish one of the ones I'm writing and submit it for publishing.
3) Get on Jeopardy! and win some dough - this would be like a bucket list dream come true. I'm already registered to take the pre-test.
4) Leave the boy-child with Nana and Papa so DH and I can go on a weekend adventure somewhere.
5) Run the Warrior Dash with hubby.
To be an amazing mommy to my 2
Lose some weight
Take a shower everyday
I need to develop some genuine humility and really practice that humility with my husband. (a.k.a. stop being so genuinely shocked when I'm wrong)
Yeah, and this too.
1. Better control my spending, and stick to a budget.
2. Give up my daily hot chocolate from Chik-fil-A
3. Exercise
::clicks X on amazon window::
I am somewhat just recycling last years.
1. To PR in the marathon (hit that one last year, but I want to do better)
2. PR in at least one other distance, preferably the 5k (missed it last year)
3. Keep my priorities in line
4. Eat better
5. Spend less on myself and give more.
6. After reaching 1 & 2, get pregnant
- Eat healthier, exercise more.
- Finish my MBA.
Stay on top of cleaning/organizing.
Try and limit processed foods - I'd like to say to 20% but I think I better be more realistic.
Exercise 3-4x a week. This one is going to be tough with 2u2.
Start losing the baby weight.
Quit the part tie smoking or st least cut it down to very very part time. Which will involve less alcohol.
Save enough money to get my hair cut. It's almost been a year! Which puts me in the take care of myself group. DS and myself will be tied for first place instead of putting me in the back.
Fix my relationship or end it. I can't take the little bs that pops up way too often.
Also, stop comparing my child to other children. I'm seriously freaked that Ryan is not walking or talking (at all) yet, and I'm constantly comparing him to other children. For my own sanity I need to stop doing that.
Of course it doesn't help when people are always asking if he's walking/talking and when I say no they go on about how their kid started at 10 months or whatever...
1. Get my pre-preg abs & ars back
2. Get a promotion
I feel the same way about my DS not having any words yet. And upon learning this, someone will inevitably do the whole "Oh, really? My son was singing 'Ave Maria' by the time he was 9 months old!" routine.
Anyway, no words of wisdom. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone!
He's healthy and happy and I need to realize he will get there in his own time. But that is easier said than done!
I'm still working on getting back to PP weight from #2 so..
continue going to the gym. I've been going regularly since October which is HUGE for me because I'm such a quitter.
stop buying myself a treat when I do the groceries. I'm like a child! I usually throw something in like Oreo's or Poptarts when I sooo don't need to.
have more patience with my kids
Since in 2012 I won't really have my body to myself (pregnant and then breastfeeding), my resolution is to take time to do something for 'me' every week.
So, I signed up for pre-natal yoga to do once a week until the baby comes.
And I plan to register for something one evening a week after the baby is born and leave DH with a pumped bottle of milk. Whether that's Bikram yoga (which I LOVE but can't do while pregnant), or a photography class, or just having some coffee with a girlfriend. Something. Anything that's just for me.

My Mimi (the wisest old lady in the world) told me not to worry about when he's going to start talking because "you'll never have peace and quiet again." And as far as walking goes, my bff's DD was almost 2 before she started walking. After all that anxiety about her not walking, now my bff would give anything for her just to sit still. Mommy Catch 22.
I've been thinking I need to see a doctor about this myself but I know there's not much (med-wise) that I can do while pregnant and breastfeeding.
I get insane anxiety if things are out of order, if the house is messy, if we've had one too many take out meals... Urgh.
I wish there was a real life 'Don't Sweat It' switch, you know?

Mine is to be healthier...I've been trying to cut down on junk like soda and junk food, and I need to exercise a lot more.
I also need to get better time and stress management. I don't want to lose my temper as much as I do. Idk, I might need to talk to my dr about that because I might need my meds to be changed also. But I think that if I lost weight I would be happier and I probably wouldn't need to be on meds anymore.
