My title might sound cheesy but for some reason we tend to feel as if a new year is a fresh start for us to come up with goals for ourselves that we didn't accomplish the year before. Just like every Monday is a fresh start to begin the diet we ruined in between the week. It's a mind game but we all fall for it and use it as an excuse.
So here is my New Year's resolutions as a start off for my first blog post EVER.
#1- Lose Weight: This is my all-time favorite & least favorite of my resolutions. It's a love and hate relationship. It's an amazing feeling to see the pounds shed & start fitting into those smaller jeans you never threw away because you would hope you could fit into them one day. But you hate it because you get stuck to a routine of eating habits & exercise. I've joined a running team with friends (Tutu Runners Club) and the plan is to train at least 3 times a week. My goal is to lose 50 lbs from now until summer time.
#2- Travel more: I can count the different vacations (outside of Texas) I've experienced in one hand in these 27 years of my life. Playa de Carmen, Mexico; Las Veg, Nevada; Cruise to Jamaica and Caymen Islands; Aloha/Portland, Oregon; Rio Bravo, Tamaulipas (parents hometown); Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. Wait that might of been two hands, you get my drift. Anyways I have a few vacation spots on my list I would like to explore in 2012. Possibly Florida and Colorado.
#3- Photo a Day: I've decided to join the Program 2012 on Flickr to capture one photo a day with my Nikon D40 or my Android Revolution. I'm hoping to keep up with it & get a chance to reminisce the good moments that I was able to capture. Also when I can I will try my best to use my D40 to practice & improve my photography while I'm at it.
#4- Go to college: I took basics back in 2002-2003 but didn't finish and never returned. I'm undecided on a major and that holds me back from going back. Hopefully I can at least finish my basics for now.
#5- Get closer to God: I feel like I have fallen off the Godly path many years ago(to be exact about 10 years ago). I attended a retreat at my brother's church back in June 2011 and enjoyed it tremendously. It was a great experience and an eye opener. Both my husband and I attended, we started going to church every Sunday. I felt amazing but little by little we became lazy and came up with excuses not to go. I want to get back to it & have a closer relationship to God.
#6- Volunteer: I want to become a good samaritan to those in need. Especially those in my community. I dont have a lot of money to give but I can try my best to provide and give the little I do have. Even if it's my time.
#7+ - & Etc: Many more small goals that I want to accomplish but I'll be here forever picking at those smaller issues that.I want to improve in. That is all I have to say my blog readers. I hope I didn't bore you too much. I'm hoping to come up with new topics as much as I can. I'm not sure if my life will be interesting enough but it's my simple & normal life. Thank you for reading.
Sending Peace & Love, Judy 8A
