I have decided to keep a word in mind this year. My word is Relax. I need to learn to just relax, as my husband often tells me. I really need to work on being more relaxed about life in general.
I have also set a few goals for myself.
1. Lose another eight to ten pounds, and keep it off! I have lost eighteen pounds since last March, and I am very proud of myself. My current weight is 148 pounds.
2. Learn to sew... something. Even if it's just a button on a pair of pants.
3. I definitely want to blog more. I miss this space.
4. Spend more one on one time with my husband and daughter.
5. Travel to someplace new. Hopefully Portland, Oregon. It has been on our list for a while now.
6. Take more photos of the three of us. We only have three photos of our family from last year.
7. I starterd this one a bit early. I decided to deactivate my Facebook account last weekend, and I do not miss it at all. I think it was a bit of a time waster for me, and very much a distraction.
8. I want to be more in the moment with my daughter, and every day life.
9. Be more appreciative.
10. Learn to just go with the flow. I can seriously be so stubborn. And I wonder where my daughter gets it from!
This is a great list!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many fun (and smart) ideas!!
Thanks Emily! I forgot to mention "me time" I never seem to get enough of that.
ReplyDeleteI think these sound like great resolutions, especially because they will be doable.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jennifer!
DeleteMy heart skipped when I saw Portland on the list! Oh how amazing it would be to meet you in person!!! I love your list, I don't know why I'm so into resolutions this year, but I am. Just seeing how fast kids grow maybe is putting in my mind how much is possible in a year!
ReplyDeleteIt would be so awesome to meet in person after years of being blog friends:)
DeleteThis is a great list. Well done on losing that weight, that's terrific. I could do with losing a few pounds - my jeans are feeling really tight lately! I think there is only one photo of me, John and the kids from last year! (I did print and frame it though.) Children are a really good way of being in the moment, I find - they just totally focus on the here and now. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Gillian! Glad to hear you framed your family photo - you are definitely ahead of me! I need to pick up some new frames at Ikea soon.
