Is It Too Early For New Years’ Resolutions?

Drew — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 22:19:16 +0000

One of my Facebook friends is already locking in his goals for next year …

… he wants to be a vegetarian for at least one month.

Isn’t it too early for setting goals like that? Usually I don’t even start thinking about resolutions until after January 1st.

Best resolution you’ve heard so far?

At our house, Jill has devised her biggest resolution yet …

Every week, she’s vowed to rid our house of 1 box of “stuff” – clothes, kitchen items, anything we don’t need & can donate. 52 boxes in one year … that is a broad goal, yes, but we kickstarted the plan on December 30th with 6 bags of clothes to Goodwill!

2009 a month old, and you’re still hanging on too?

We only have 2 days remaining in January. This is the first year I’ve ever really made New Years’ resolutions, and I can’t believe I’m still doing them. It’s a good thing, right?

Get healthier by exercising at least 3 times a week (more, hopefully, as time goes on).
Drink 8 full glasses of water a day.
Eat more fruits & veggies.

I’m still doing all 3, and it’s crazy. I do feel better, but I’ve never used the bathroom so much in my life.

Plus, waking up at 2am to visit that room … waking me out of a sound sleep … will it ever end?

I want to know what NY Resolutions YOU are holding on to, and proudly at that.

Let’s talk about it today, after 3pm.

Harder than I thought

On the surface, drinking eight glasses of water a day seems easy. Right? Wrong.

I had success yesterday, but I’ve never peed so much in my life. Seriously! Plus, I had to consciously be thinking, “OK, another hour, I need another glass. Maybe if I break them into half-glasses, it’ll be easier?”

Regardless, I haven’t felt that good, as a whole, in a long time. I’m already on glass #3 today (or is it 4?).

Speaking of success, Roy had a great pediatrician’s visit this morning for his 15-month check-up. Amy & Delores there are big fans of the show, and usually give me a “happy visit” sticker too. I don’t ask for them, really. *wink*

By the way, do you remember the last time you lied to someone to spare their feelings? Your spouse? Your child?

I’ve got a fun story to share … let’s talk about it, today after 3pm.

Day 3, and still rolling

Today is Day 3 of my New Years’ resolutions, although I think of more importance, it’s the first year I’ve ever really done them.

But … day 3, and I’m still AOK. I did add one more to the list, though — drinking *8* eight-ounce glasses of water a day. Jill’s been on me for years to do it, but I never saw the point. I know, I know.

Strangely enough, I’ve had 4 glasses so far today (it’s about 12:30pm), and I actually *feel* better than I have in a long time.

Glass of water right out of bed, still my cup of DD coffee, and more water.

Have you already given up on any NY resolutions? Need a little encouragement?

Let’s talk about it, today after 3pm. On US*99.5!
