Sometimes I just feel like there is too much clutter around and in what I do. It makes it hard to stay focused, to think creatively, to see which direction I should be heading. My goal is to simplify things in my life; what I eat and in relation – my body size, how we spend money, the way I think about things, what I do with my free time.
I want to be a better role model for my children. Sometimes I feel like I bring them down and pick at the things they do instead of building them up to be strong, capable, caring and intelligent people. I’ve gotten better at it over this year, but there is still a long way to go in just letting them make some of their own choices instead of controlling how they do every little thing.
I’m going to challenge myself to use the Wii fit every day. I took measurements of myself and am going to recheck in a month to see if any progress has been made. I haven’t decided on whether or not to put it out here on the blog. If I do, it may motivate me to keep it up. I’m not really sure that I want that info out there for all of the world to see. Maybe after a few months, if I’ve kept it up and have great results, I’ll let you guys in. I’m not worried about the weight part. I am right on the borderline for my height. I would just like to be in much better shape.
I want to get back to sewing things. In the past few months, I made a few Christmas presents and a baby quilt. I didn’t realize how much I had missed doing those things until I actually started them again. Now to decide on the projects I want to do.
Not really resolutions for the new year, but rather life goals. Small, simple things to try and achieve. Have any goals you are trying to accomplish?
I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes the clutter around here is so overwhelming that it turns me into a slug. I think I’ve gotten better, but that’s only because I really only have one room. The rest of the house isn’t really “mine”.
Keeping your goals simple will make them easier to achieve and you won’t feel like a big failure at the end of the year.

Less TV is my main goal. New resolution that on weekdays the TV doesn’t come on until 8pm. I got envious looking at all the cool things you did over the year, based on your 366 photos. Jon and I talked about how much we could do if we didn’t watch TV and be so lazy(well that is what he told me at least). So that is my goal, and Jon’s, by force.
Eat better and more consistently workout. I had been really good about the working out, but now I’m having problems going that often, especially with my shoulder hurting. Also, I eat and eat, and if something I don’t need to eat is there, I still eat it anyway. Holding my stomach in isn’t doing enough to combat the effect the eating has on my waistline.
