Making changes

I have never been one to make New Years Resolutions, but I feel like this is the year to do it, and stick to them. It's a new year, new decade, and I am about to start a new life as married woman.


My resolutions:

1. Lose 10lbs. I have never been one to care about my weight because I never had to. (sorry if you hate me for that) I'm not looking to lose the weight just because I am getting married. I want to be in better overall health. (see resolution #2)

2. Go to the gym at least 2 times a week. I have been paying for a gym membership for the last 3 years I need to actually use it otherwise its just wasted money.

3. Fix my debt. Soon I will be linked to Gordon, not only in love but also in our bank accounts. I know that money issues cause a lot of marital problems and I would like to alleviate some of that stress and future problems by getting my debt under control if not eliminated.

4. Travel outside the country. This can easily be checked off by our honeymoon. Our hope is to go to England, Scotland and Ireland.

5. Get back into soccer. I never really got out of soccer. When we moved to Philly it became harder to enjoy it because we didn't have a team. Philly has been added to MLS this year so we will have games to go to. The World Cup is also happening this year so there is an opportunity for me to get back into it. I know it's something that would make Gordon happy and that we can do together.

6. Eat out more. It's for work..... kinda, I just wish I could write it off. I need to develop my pallet more. I need to branch out and try some sea food. I need to eat more desserts. If I do this I will really have to work at resolutions 1 & 2.

7. Stress about work less. I need to learn to leave work at work. I don't have a job that I can bring my work home but I tend to bring my work stress home.

8. Stay on top of my blogging. In the past I have let my blogging lag. I need to keep up with it so that friends and family that live far away can be kept up to date on what is going on.

I think these are all things that I can accomplish or stick to. Wish me luck.
