New Year’s Resolutions for 2010

Good afternoon! I’m exhausted with thinking about what I need to do on a daily basis and I continue to get disorganized time after time. With moving into a new place and working from home once a week, I’m starting to leave stuff laying everywhere. So I’ve come up with a list of some of the things that I need to accomplish in 2010. Check it out!

 

Organization:

  • Get a whiteboard calendar for my roommate and I to keep track of bills and important dates, etc. Just so that we can keep track of where each other are since we both aren’t home every night.
  • Use those 10 baskets I bought over the summer at that Estate Sale. This will help keep magazines in place and new mail that needs to be opened organized without never being opened (I’m famous for this..)
  • Move my bedroom around and add the couch M’s parents gave me to make my room where I’d like to be more often.

Health:

  • Not only go to the gym a few times a week, but everyday and… in the morning. I’ve been hearing a lot about how this helps you think more positively and healthfully throughout the day, thus making you want to eat better. This is what I need. Winter gives me the SERIOUS blues and all I crave is sauce, salt, grease, and anything pertaining to fat. I know it’s bad but I have to admit it in order to get out of this crazy habit!
  • Start drinking GM’s again. They had me feeling great. When I kick-started my weight-loss last spring/summer, GM’s gave me the energy to get through my days. Sometimes I’d substitute one for lunch or dinner when I wasn’t up for eating.

Family:

  • Spend more time with family and friends. I tend to work really hard in relationships, and this year I’d like to not only give but plan more. I think people would like to see more of the effort on my end.

Love:

  • The end of 2009 has been INSANE for me. November started off great moving in here but mid-way through the month I experienced something I never thought I would. I learned that I need to work hard in everything. Not just my job. By moving out and thinking it was helping my relationship, it was making it harder. With a little more communication and effort, I think that things would be different. All in all, my resolution is to stop blaming myself and to not allow myself to get hurt again. If someone loves you and they hurt you, whether or not they learn from it is what really matters.

Work:

  • Focus on my goals this year and work extremely hard. Furthering my education also plays a roll in this. I’m starting classes at a community college then transferring for my Bachelor’s. It’s time! This will help me move forward career-wise.

Blog:

  • I used to do blog posts daily and loved doing this. It was kind of like my motivation, and for the first time in my life, I felt as though I really truly had a hobby. Not just reading and writing. I’ve found a true love and gained a lot of really great friends :)

 

Wow that was a long one. See what some time off of work can do for ya?!! Hehe. The beginning of 2010 really gives me a lot to look forward to. People think that resolutions are stupid, but psychologically it’s like the marking of a new day. So if it works, I say do it!

What are your New Year’s resolutions??

New Year’s in NYC!!

Today is the first official day of my winter vacation. Six days off of work. I know it’ll fly by, but I just have to enjoy this!! M and I are in a complicated stage of our relationship with so much that’s happened, but I think it takes some wrong-doing to realize what you’ve got. So with that said, we’ve decided to stay in NYC for New Years’.

central park winter

I’m so excited. I wasn’t planning on having to deal with a bunch of snow but you know what… those people stand in Times Square for like 10 hours in the freezing cold snow so I think I’ll be fine :) Has anyone ever visited NYC in the winter? Does anyone live in NYC that can offer some suggestions? Either way even if we’re in Boston, it’ll still be cold and snowy and rainy, so we might as well be on a somewhat mini-vacay. My plan is to go to some great restaurants, drink good wine, and have some quality time with M.

Work has had me super busy. 2010 will be a crazy year for me but I’m ready for it. My New Years’ resolution is: Work hard, worry less. This will be my career year. My friend Luce has decided that it’ll be her Career Year. That’s a good way of putting it :) Lol. She said that she has until December 31st 2009 to date because after that, it’s all about work. I don’t blame her honestly!!

What’s your New Year’s Resolution for 2010???
