Anyone have new year's resolutions??

My big resolution for 2008 is to stay out of the hospital!! I've seen enough of the inside of one. 2007 wasn't the greatest year healthwise for me and I resolve to stay healthier this year!

My biggest one is to not let my nutty coworker get to me (its gonna test my endurance ;))

Then I also have resolved to eat better. I want to buy a ton of healthy food and leave it at work so I don't rely on the junk food I've been eating. I'm even going to take in the spare George Foreman grill (and rely on the kindness of coworkers to use it for me ;))

And lastly, I'm resolving to not hide out at work so much to avoid the chaos of home. We're FINALLY getting Ashley the help s he needs for her depression, so maybe once she meets the doctor I won't NEED to hide out at work.

I'm far too old to be bothered with new year resolutions, I never keep them anyway. :)

Mine would be to get a new job closer to home and get healthier and more in shape.
Yeah, so we'll see if either of those things actually happen. :rolleyes:

To get organized. My house can get pretty chaotic with toys everywhere, etc. So I plan to organize the little stuff....like making labeled bins for my son's Wii games, controllers, etc. Getting the DVD's all organized, b/c a 6 year old does not put them back where they should go after watching them....organize in cabinets, medicine cabinets, under the sink, etc. The little cluttered areas get to me, and have little attention paid to them...the house as a whole is clean and orderly, but the small stuff needs more attention.

To eat healthy, yes, I'd like to lose like 15 pounds, but the eating healthy part is more important and if I lose weight, then its a bonus.

Overall....Just try to be more easy going when life gets stressful...and to not worry about things so much (I tend to be a worrier). I plan/hope to just remember/say to myself each day, that " this is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it"....as the old hymn goes.

Here's to a Happy and Healthy 2008 for our Pettalk family!!!!

Every year I say I'll lose some weight, but I never do :o Maybe this year. 10 lbs would be nice to lose.

;)

RESOLVED:

To NOT make any Resolutions! ...

That otta solve the busted resolution problem!

:o
:D

Yes! And this one I'm going to try and keep. I have a bad habit of almost being late to work all the time. Then I end up scrambling like crazy trying to get there and don't have time to even get something to drink before I sit down. I've started early two days already. I've just got to start getting ready about twenty minutes earlier.

Yes, only one. To never, EVER spend Christmas away from my family again.

I don't usually have a new years resolution because another year is so long...so its usually...just don't die for another year lol.

i need to find a better way to keep my papers, paid bills, waiting for the next payday bills, and so forth. i'm gonna do research and in a seperate topic ask PTers for advice

I say this every year but never follow through.. hopefully I will this year! :p I'd like to start eating healthier and lose weight. I've already started on the eating healthier part.. I cook dinner most nights for myself and my boyfriend instead of us relying on take out. I've also cut down from 2L of pop a day to a couple cans. Now to go from a couple cans to none!

I have a bit of an incentive for following through this year though. We're planning on a trip to Cabo in the summer! :D Gotta look good for that!

No more car accidents! I want to be able to have a car for more than a year.

;) For me & my babies to stay healthy & happy..

Earn more money, and stop spending money on things I don't need! Be more effective about paying off my debt, stop shopping from catalogues, no more going overlimit, stay on top of my bookkeeping, no more gratuitous days off, and pay that monster down.
