Resolutions

A friend of mine said they wouldn't be making any resolutions this year because they never end up sticking past the first few weeks.  While I see the point in that statement, I figure there has to be a way to be somewhat successful.  So, instead of saying "get in shape" or "lose 10 pounds", I will try to set up smaller goals.  Here is what I would like for the year 2011:

Blog once a week.  As I sit here and think about that, it seems like I should be able to do more than that, but the proof is in the pudding.  Don't look at my blog history please!!  :o)

Eat less red meat (once a week at the most)!  Every time I eat it, it drags me down!  I have less energy and it makes me feel like my thoughts aren't as clear.  Could be psychological, but red meat is not good for the heart, so it can't hurt to cut back!

Make healthier choices for food: Soups are a fantastic option for lunches, and this has to be one of my favorites... for boxes soups anyways. 

  

Date night!  Go out on a date once a month with my husband.  Another requirement would be to get ready like I did before we had kids.  It's pretty evident that I've let myself go since having kids, so to blow dry my hair and apply make up would be a requirement!  

Save $$!!  More specifically, try to save up 1/12th of our monthly expenses each month, so that by the end of the year, we will have one month of expenses in the bank! 

That is all I have for now.  There isn't anything regarding the kids because I already do a lot with them.  They aren't lacking, that's for sure!!!  :o)
