Another year, another chance to blow through some resolutions you have no intention of keeping. Yeah, I know. I have them too. And this year, I rilly, rilly mean it. I do. Honest. Is that a coookie over there? *ahem* Yeah, the weight loss thing is top of the list. I'm getting to the age when my family history of heart attacks should start rearing its ugly head so I should be motivated. It's just that .. well, food tastes so good ... and getting sweaty? Not so much. Oh, I've done the exercise thing twice so far (yay me?), and I've cut down on the snacking, but still ... I'd rather be eating bon-bons on the sofa while watching tv. Ya know, I think I should resolve to gain about 50 pounds - I'll either accomplish it or be happy that I didn't. I'm sure the doctor would love that one. And speaking of doctors, why do they always weigh you, no matter what you go in for? Got a sore throat, step on the scale. Broken leg? Scale again. I think they are intentionally trying to scare people away from going to the doctors. Look, I know I'm a load - I don't need the reminder ... trust me.
Oh well, what about the other stuff? I think Jynx has about the best list of resolutions I've ever seen. She's just so darned organized - I hate that. As for me, I have the standard read more, write more, have more fun things going, but they all feel a little fuzzy. What exactly is more anyways? If I read one more page than last year, will that allow me to check the yes box on that resolution? Going to be kind of tough as I don't know how much or little I read last year. I've tried with a anal specific target list - you know, X minutes doing this, X minutes doing that. But then I just get depressed when I realize that if I add up all my minutes I don't have time to do anything else. Anybody else want another cookie?

LMAO!!! Okay, I love your entries... not only are they entertaining, but they're very human and REAL! (You little temptress - with your cookies and all... =P~)
Anywhoo, I'm right there with ya, sister! (Thanks for the uber-kind compliment... I don't really feel as organized as all that... and I'm fairly certain that I left things a bit vague, but this isn't about me!)
I loathe exercising... it's painful, sweaty and it sucks up my time. I'm also not a fan of the eating right. It takes discipline and sheer will... sometimes I lack both and end up eating MORE than just that one cookie, dangit!
I wish I could suggest something wonderful and fantastic that could be of help, but I'm still trying to figure out how to lose another pants size myself.
I've also discovered that trying to be REALLY anal & specific doesn't help me either - for the same reasons.
Maybe if we set daily goals with long term ones in mind? Do you work with a daily list?
No matter the outcome, know that I'm there for the "rah-rah" and, if need be, a firm surface to pound out the frustrations. Given all you have going on, it's amazing that you do as well as you do so you should start off by giving yourself HUGE credit and build from there.
Good luck!!!
