Oh, man. Is it really 2012?
I am going to resolve, again, to lose weight. Despite resolving to do this for the last 8 years or so, I still am deluded enough to think it may actually happen this year, instead of me gaining 3-5 pounds like I have in the past.
Different this year? Gym membership. Confidence from actually running a 5K last year. Looming mid-life crisis in August when I turn 35 and my baby girl starts Kindergarten and my baby is in pre-school 4 days a week. Crisis is LOOMING people. And I would like to be 15-20 pounds lighter when it hits.
GOAL: Exercise more. Use the gym. Run another 5K this year.
I went for a run this morning, since it is in the 50s. I have majorly slipped from my 5K status...but I am months ahead of where I was last April.
GOAL: Eat less sugar.
I have no strategy for this...but I have no self control when it comes to sweets. So I guess my strategy should be to not have any in the house. The kids don't need it either, right? I can always get mini-marshmallows as bribery for them...I hate them.
GOAL: Make no more goals. Concentrate on exercising and less sugar. That should be plenty to fail at for this year.
Here's to a skinnier mid-life crisis in August!

On NPR's Science Friday, there was a snippet about willpower and that it is better to make only 1-2 resolutions than a bunch of them. Willpower is like a bucket--you can deplete your willpower by overloading it.
Oh, and I'll be having my mid-life crisis in September---turning 39. I freaked out at 29, so I think I'm due.
