It has only been a little over 4 months since 2012 started, and by this time many of us have forgotten about the resolutions we made back in January; so I wanted to take some time to revisit those that I made.
2012 will be the year that I do not visit a tanning bed. I have actually stuck to this resolution 100%. My thought behind this was the harmful effects of tanning beds, and also a way to save some extra money. The closer we get to summer days the harder this resolution will be to keep, I hate being pale, but I will try to resist and hopefully have the chance to get a real tan by actually making the time to go outside, weather permitting.
2012 will be the year I lose at least 30 pounds. Well I am not even close to the 30 pound mark, but I have taken giant leaps towards this resolution. I have started drinking shakeology for breakfast, eating clean (most of the time), and working out on a regular basis. I am determined to stick to this resolution, and so far so good! Still about 20 pounds to go, but I will accomplish this!
2012 will be the year I give up fast food. I didn't eat a lot of fast food to begin with, but the random Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich and fries wasn't doing me any good either. I am happy to say I have stuck to this one 100%, I did not even have one of my niece's fries when we took her to MacDonald's on the way to preschool. This resolution has actually been the eaisest to follow.
2012 will be the year I pay off my credit cards. This is a huge resolution, and I have been making excellent progress. I know almost everyone has a little bit of credit card debt, but I was just sick of mine, so pay it off I will!
2012 will be the year Ian and I buy a house. This is huge, and we have been unsuccessful in our search so far, but we continue to look, search for houses and plan for it. We are determined and will not settle until we find our house.
As you can see I've done surprisingly well on my resolutions, this is because they are clear and measurable. They were written down and I try to revisit them ever so often. Are you on track with your resolutions? If not, ask yourself why, try to refocus or rewrite them, because that is the great part about your personal goals you can refocus them at any point. As you change and grow your goals should change and grow as well. When you accomplish one goal, create another one and keep pushing forward!
Giving up tanning beds is a good one! I didn't tan at all last year and I know I will continue to avoid them from now on. I spend way too much money throughout the year on anti-aging products to ruin it with a little tan!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear more about you losing the weight you want to lose. Ah it will be so exciting for you!
Ew, fast food. I haven't done this either! I'm just not attracted to any fast food joints so this really isn't a problem for me. Starbucks though is another story :o)
I gave up tanning beds too! Way to go!
