1. Stop hitting the snooze button.
Does any one else have a terrible habit of this? I used to hit snooze three, four, five times a morning....just get up already! It has been two weeks and I have only hit it once, but I felt bad so I got up before the alarm went off again. Now I must admit, I am not hopping out of bed when the alarm sounds. I turn the TV on watch The Today show for twenty minutes. It is something I like to do for myself....so this resolution is for me. To get a little time in with my friends Matt and Ann.
2. Drink less coffee and more tea.
I used to think I hated tea. I had only given it a couple of chances in the past and never cared for it. But I tried some delicious flavored hot tea and I am hooked! When I was drinking coffee every morning I was adding so much creamer that I should have just poured myself a mug of calories and sugar. But now I still get my caffeine fix (though it is less) and something warm to drink in the morning; but without all the calories and sugar and more health benefits. My favorites are green and black tea. This one is delicious, so is this one and this one. I have actually gone two weeks (maybe longer) with out coffee and I am feeling good.
3. Workout.
I think everyone has this on their resolution list. But I am already a gym member, have been for a long time now. I am pretty much just flushing money down the toilet by only using it to tan a couple times a week. And since Jeff has been working nights I have free time in the evening to get my workout in. I have a goal weight and for the first time in a long time...I plan to reach it!
4. Save!
I also have said this one every year, but now more than ever this one is important. With Jeff and I living together and starting our lives I need to stop spending my money and dumb things and save for more important things.
5. Be happy.
If you want to be happy, be. This is my mantra and I really really really try to follow it, but sometimes it's hard. I need to stop comparing myself, my hair, my outfits and bank accounts to others. I live with my fantastic boyfriend, I have food in the kitchen and clothes in my closet and plenty of shoes on my floor. I have a job and a roof over my head and a car that gets me around. I need to spend a little more time being thankful and grateful for what I have and less time lusting over the items I don't have.
Cheers 2012....it's only been 13 days...but I have a feeling this is going to be a marvelous year.
