I hate the thought of New Year's resolutions. I never seem to keep them if I make them. However, there are definitely things I need to change in my life, and I plan to change at least some of them.
Mostly, I plan to get healthier. I sometimes worry that I may have waited too late, a very depressing thought since I'm only 32, but I have to quit worrying about that and just get back on track eating better and exercising. If I start now, by the end of the year, I can have easily lost 50 pounds. That's a completely realistic goal, and a pound a week shouldn't be that hard to do. I'll try to post my progress as I go.
Also, I'd like to try to relax a little more. I'm always worried about being places on time (which means 15 minutes early) and I work a lot, although I have stopped doing as much overtime as I used to. I know I can be a little bit uptight about things, and sometimes that's not a bad thing, but I do tend to take it to extremes sometimes. Some things I'm just not going to be able to relax and forget about, but I think I do need to have some time to just not worry about what other people think.
Finally, just as a point of reference re: the weight loss stuff, this is a pic of me a few weeks ago. It's not the greatest, but it'll do until I find a better one, which may not happen until I've lost 15 pounds or so.
