Every year I add exercise as a resolution as well as lowering my chocolate intake. The past couple of years I've been sure to publish my resolutions as a way to feel more obligated.

My daughter inthe hospital after Chantex caused her problems. She know hates us and still wants to smoke. I thought it should have been the reverse. So i guess I have to work on her liking us again. I do need to take that same journey to lose weight. The only problem is that when I am stressed I eat. Sooo if my daughter likes me again then I can move on to the next on my to do list.<br />debby236 at att dot netDebbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516477616699255278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414288368779581069.post-70836465387079817832010-12-30T19:58:01.141-05:002010-12-30T19:58:01.141-05:00Looks like I'm going to have lots of company o...Looks like I'm going to have lots of company on my weight loss journey.

Why set myself up for failure? My gym membership will attest to that! It puts too much pressure on me. So what if I have a slight "muffin top". It matches my hubbies beer belly! My actual motivation this year is my sister. She passed away from Breast Cancer last year and I want to run in the Susan G. Komen 5K in Oct. I hate to run...any other form of exercise I will do, but running isn't one of them. So I will dust off that treadmill and lace up my running shoes for her! She would be amazed to know that I am running for something other than that plate of cookies that was just set out on the table! Kisses to heaven Sis! You're my inspiration!!<br /><br />cbandy10(at)hotmail(dot)comElena Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00034030849453783732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414288368779581069.post-75333824119115030692010-12-30T11:46:09.642-05:002010-12-30T11:46:09.642-05:00I was originally going to resolve to "Be Nice...I was originally going to resolve to "Be Nicer" but I've come to accept that spunky bitch is part of me and without my dry saracasm, well, I'm just not me!<br /><br />So, in stead, I shall strive to "Vamp It Up!".

I usually just say that I'd like to accomplish something in the new year. This year it's to take better care of my health. I'm bad about not going to the doctor when I should so this coming year I'm going to attempt to take better care of myself, go to the doctor when I should. I've been sick almost the whole month of December and spent Christmas all by myself because of an awful stomach bug that I didn't want to give to anybody else and it really sucked not being with my family. Sorry, this isn't a very entertaining story, but sadly true.<br /><br />seriousreader at live dot comLinda Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06496464041656744569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414288368779581069.post-22174093366580053912010-12-30T10:16:50.881-05:002010-12-30T10:16:50.881-05:00Denise! Good Morning!
Ok, I admit it I am a goal ...Denise! Good Morning!<br /><br />Ok, I admit it I am a goal setter, comes from years of training in the business world of how important it is to set goals, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly.<br /><br /> Sometimes it is a tiny goal, like don't kill the cat today. Sometimes its a small goal, pay the electric this week or you will be living by candlelight. Sometimes it is a big goal like call the kids monthly, let them know your alive, even if they dont call me and I scan all the accident reports and obitituaries to make sure their name isnt in there. Then sometimes the goal is a large one, remembering whats important in life and that making everyday count is a blessing, tell those you care about how important they are and wake up and try to do your best each day. Even if that means, killing the cat, ignoring the kids, paying a bill late and trying to remember when the last time you had dinner with your husband because your both so busy!<br /><br />New Years resolutions are not to watch ourselves fail, but to give us hope in the ability to believe in ourselves and our accomplishments. Happy New Year!!! I promise I will let the cat live another day!RRRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008832503045421924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414288368779581069.post-77537715271951336942010-12-30T10:11:13.399-05:002010-12-30T10:11:13.399-05:00I try not to make resolutions, just because I neve...I try not to make resolutions, just because I never stick with them very long.
