Resolutions

I have only in the past couple of years started to make New Year's Resolutions. You can find my post here on my resolutions for last year. Most of them were successful...well, now that I re-read them, only two were successful and three were not. I am adopting the three unsuccessful one's for this year again:

1) Take advantage of the gym membership that I already pay for (either by working out 5 days a week or taking a class at the gym)

2) Tone my arms and abs

3) Work on having a more positive outlook on life and not being soo "snarky".

And adding a couple:

4) Not getting so stressed out/moderating that stress better (via breathing exercises or yoga at home)

5) No more swearing

6) No whining

I'm hoping I can stick better to these this year. I think I have caused myself a lot of grief by not moderating my own stress levels. I'm trying to stay healthy to avoid getting type 2 diabetes and heart disease and I realized that staying stressed so much can cause high blood pressure and lead to a heart attack. I don't want that either, so I have to live my life better. I'm trying and it feels like I'm trying soo hard, but I bet I could try harder.

Working out for me is a HUGE release, so I'm going to try to do that more, especially when I get worked up or stressed out. I want to focus on my abs and toning my arms also. I have noticed in the past year that my body has changed shape...crazy, I know, but it's true. I used to have trouble getting my athletic thighs into jeans (always made for girls with non-muscular legs), then the waist would always be too big. Now, I can fit into jeans that I couldn't even pull over my thighs, but I have a hard time buttoning them. I think my thighs and legs have gotten smaller and my middle-section has gotten larger....poo! It's weird. I just need to workout more.

Anyway, those are my New Year's Resolutions. If you're my buddy and you're reading this, please help me to keep them in whatever way you can. I'll help you with yours too if you share them with me.

Until another day!
