Everybody makes them. Very few keep them. In the last couple of years or so, I’ve been pretty good at keeping my resolutions. Those resolutions included Getting Organized, and Getting My S#@* together. OK, so maybe I’ve fallen behind on those things as of late.
This year, I’ve decided to make several resolutions in the hopes that a few of them will stick. Here they are in no particular order.
Update Facebook Status At Least Once a Day
I admit that this one is a little silly. But I do enjoy the Facebook and I would like to be consistently involved. Only because I have more friends than I ever did growing up. I know this. Facebook tells me so.
Exercise Every Other Day (or so)
In years past, I’ve been able to keep my weight under control because of my job as a night time custodian. However, I stopped working there last April, and my weight has ballooned since then. (Both in number and is size.) Now, I must make a conscious effort to make sure I get my weight back under control. I’m hoping to lose at least 50lbs. by years end. I also plan on learning how to spell exercise correctly.
Eat an Orange Every Day (or so)
Just is just a small attempt at trying to eat healthier snacks. I’m pretty sure oranges are much more healthy than candy bars, Pop-Tarts, and so on. Why have I chosen the orange? Just ‘cuz. Included in this resolution is an increased effort to eat more vegetables when given the chance.
Post on This Blog At Least Once a Week
I don’t really keep a journal, so this blog is my way of keeping track of important events in my life and sharing them with those that care to read about them. I think I posted 4 times last year. That is a pathetically low number. I will try to do better… at least 5 or more this year!
Keep a Budget
This was my resolution last year. I didn’t make it. Let’s try it again!
Be Less Cynical
This one is going to be the most challenging, and therefore the one I will work the hardest on. If cynicism were a college degree, I’d have two doctorates by now. Cynicism never leads to happiness.
Fix Our Bikes This Spring.
My poor kids. They each have bikes, but haven’t ridden them in years. My youngest hasn’t even been fully trained. All of their bikes are broken in one way or another. Mostly with flat tires and such. I know I’m not much of a mechanically inclined person, but I’m sure that I can at least get those bikes fixed!
So there you have it. I will track my progress and post it on this blog. If you care to keep up to date with my ventures, you are certainly more than welcome to! Have a great 2010!
