New Year, New Goals?

Every year starts the same doesn't it?  Resolve to be better.  Better at anything.  More committed to weight loss.  More committed to organization.  Better at being on time or at least late less often.  Eat better.  Exercise more. 

I'm in the same boat this year as I was last year.  I want the same things I wanted a year ago.  I must have done it wrong.  I know how to make goals.  Soooo.... this year, I'll try again.  I'm putting my goal out here for you to see.  (I'm pretty sure that last year.  I wrote about SMART goals). 

I read an article this week.  The first tip is to stay away from cliche's.  Sooo... I can't say "I'll lose weight this year".  The second one was to Make it a Game.  That means take lots of pictures and keep a lot of statistics. The third is Be Drastic.  Make the first 30 days a big deal, if you are going to do it, go ALL the way in January.   The last was Stick to it!!  If you fall off the wagon, hop back on!

Side note: Shari must have read (or written) that article.  She ROCKS! 

Anyway!!!  I'm going to try that.  I'm not going to say "I'll lose 50 pounds this year".  This year I'll say... let's see.... I'll wear a dress 2 sizes smaller for the high school reunion.  That's something I can aim for!!!   I am ALL about statistics.  I'll take pictures and measurements and blog.  That really sounds like me.  No problem!  Be drastic... well, I'm off to a shaky start so far, but it's never too late.  So, I'm planning to eat paleo this month.  I plan to eat "only food you can pick or kill..."  Limit my bread or pasta or anything that doesnt' come to the plate almost the same as it was in nature.  And Stick to it!  I don't think I need to learn this one.  I keep coming back to it.  So, that might be the easiest one for me. 

I haven't made the time (as much as I've tried) to draw out the plan as thoroughly as I should.  YET.  I have bits and pieces in my head.  I'll work it out.  I'll be back!  I just wanted to get it out there now!  (and let you all know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth). 

I'll match Shari as well.  I'll add pictures!  

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
