My resolutions are still the same but to improve at it.
-Control diabetes
-Save money
-Keep a healthy and sensible diet
-Continue to focus on and accomplish weight loss
-Be dedicated to being active
-Stay focus on all goals and tasks
I've been having these same resolutions for about 2 years; this will be my third year. Each year, I get better at keeping my resolutions. 2011 was my most successful year. I believe Tut has something to do with it; he's always pushing me and reminding me of my goals. Thank you, love. In a sense, he's always nagging me but I'm still glad I get reminded to do well!
For breakfast, I get no easier break than to have a simple and delicious fruit and veggie juice!
 |
| 2 celery, 1 green apple, and 2 carrots |
And for lunch, I'll have 1 serving of whole grain oatmeal with apple bites, raisins, and sliced almonds! (Not pictured)
Here's my dinner, a part of my change is to have more veggies and less meat.
 |
| Chicken wing is my substitute for breast! |
In between meals, I'll snack on prunes to help with digestion. And I'll have peanuts to sustain hunger!
Here's a breakdown of my intended weekly workout schedule:
Sunday: AM 1.5 hour workout
Monday: Rest
Tuesday: Rest
Wednesday: 6AM 1 hour workout
Thursday: 6AM 1 hour workout
Friday: 6AM 1 hour workout
Saturday: AM 1.5 hour workout
As for saving money, I'll have to purchase a safe box with a lock so I can save cash. Throughout my years of attempting to save, I keep drawing funds from my savings account into my checking, hence, I can never save! And since I don't like using cash, I'll unlikely take the money from the safe box to spend. Moreover, if I store the money away, don't see it, and don't think about it, I most likely would not use it! I'd like to save about $100 a month!
As for the rest of my resolutions, I know I have to diligently work at them. I want to make my resolution a permanent change, a lifestyle change as opposed to just an annual resolution.
Good luck folks!
good luck with the continued success of your resolutions! not that it has anything to do with luck..!
ReplyDeletei've learned from my past that resolutions i typically set were ideal, but not very realistic. i always wanted to lose weight, save money, etc... but then came to the realization that i'm actually happy with myself the way i am.
so rather than being my own worse enemy... my resolution from that point moving into the future was:
don't be my own worse enemy, but become my own best friend!
and i haven't been happier in heart and spirit since!
:D
fyi, you make me want to eat fried chicken now. and i haven't craved it or had it in MONTHS! but then again, it wasn;t just this pic. i just watched THE HELP last night and there was yummilicious lookin' friend chicken there as well. ahah.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dorothy! You have a very good point and new year's resolution and it's very true, if you are happy the way you are, why make yourself miserable? Lol!
ReplyDeleteI am unhappy about the way my life is lived so I do need these resolutions, especially losing weight, and being active! Those are must do for me! Shoot, my wings are baked hot wings, not fried! I've been staying away from fried food for awhile now! :D And yes, "The Help" do make you want some fried chicken!
