      My New Year’s Resolution last year was healthy eating. For 3 months, I wrote down every morsel of food and every minute of exercise rated mild, average or serious. Then I took 2 months off, yet kept eating mostly healthy and walked with a pedometer to track my steps. I know it takes 21 consistent days to change a habit. I’m now more aware of indulgences and count on fiber to cover my mistakes.

        My resolution for this year is to try and read my way through my TBR pile. Of course, the book fairies fill it back up at night, so I’ll never finish, but that’s the story I tell my family, lol.

          I would really love to lose weight this year no matter what my physical limitations are and the medications that I must take to be able to manage the pain.

          I really would love to win these books. I can see all forms of inspiration.

                                        I have never made a resolution because I know I cannot keep them. This year was different. I decide to make 1 –> My resolution for 2009 is getting back in touch with my high school friends and organize a reunion for our 35th HS graduation anniversary.

                                                        there is always a resolution to lose weight. Since it doesn’t seem to go anywhere……..it’s always available to use for resolution again the next year. There’s always hope that this will be the year!

I succeeded and am still plugging along. It’s been tough the last couple of years but I wanted this so bad and I am dedicated to not losing it. Which is why my goal for 2009 is to better control my finances so I don’t risk the house in these troubled times.

                                                                                      Thanks for this opportunity.
