New Year Resolutions 2012

 Okay, so I rather like the resolutions. Last year I did a blog about them almost two weeks into January and I actually sticked with them throughout the year. So here's a recap of my 2011 goals.

Resolutions!

Now that I am almost two weeks late on this I've decided to write out my resolutions.

1) Blog Daily
I've already mentioned this is an outlet for me and gets me away from my other life tasks. I hope that this blog also starts conversation with others.

2) Work Out 3-5 Times a Week
I hate the way American society is so hung up on the way they look but for this season of my life I've decided I want to be healthier. I also love the feeling of sweat, knowing that I'm getting healthier is actually a good feeling. Plus it's a great stress reliever.

3) Simplify My Life
I haven't decided exactly what this means. I just know I decide to do everything and get stressed out so I am trying to cut back on my activities and follow some kind of schedule yet with flexibility in it. So for now my objectives to this resolution is
a) make freezer meals at least 1-2 times monthly
b) make crock pot meals 1-2 times weekly
This will at least make dinners easier at home easier after working and exercising.

 

Now on to my goals for 2012.

1) Finish this deployment out strong.

     a) daily devotions.

     b) continued communication with Adam (weekly emails)

2) Continue to teach the boys responsibility.

     a) putting their laundry away

     b) cleaning up their toys

     c) taking responsibility for their own actions

3) Keep current with my paperwork for my job. More difficult than stated.

    a) daily paperwork

4) Enjoy family time when Adam gets back, even with reintergration and everything.

5) Learn to relax and not fill up my time with to do lists.

6) Find joy in the small things.

7) Take a photography course.

I realize some of these goals are vague but it's all I've got right now so this is where I'm starting from and I might add on if I want throughout the year.
