Resolutions for 2015

I usually do my “New Year’s” Resolutions on my birthday but for the sake of blogdom, I am doing them early.  Here they are….

2015 Resolutions

• Health & Fitness
  • Loose 10 lbs by my birthday (April)
    • Cut carbs and sugar
      • try one new low-carb recipe each week
    • drink more water
      • replace one cup of coffee each day with 8 oz of water
      • after one week replace another one
    • Measure and weigh food
    • keep a food log
  • Be able to do 10 full pushups and 10 burpies by my birthday
    • go to gym 3x a week
    • find a yoga class that fits my schedule
• Business
  • Talk to a lawyer by March about legal requirements
  • Have a “shop” or consignment arrangement by June for furniture
  • Participate in one craft fair or bazaar this year for home decor items
• Personal
  • gratitude journal – not just OLTP list – 3x a week
  • continue meditation practice – work up to 10 minutes by June
  • SIMPLIFY
    • spend at least two hours each weekend decluttering
  • finances
    • 52 week savings plan

As you can see, my main focus for the first part of the year will be Health and Fitness, an area which has suffered over the last 6 months.  I am also considering starting a business – I refinish furniture, make home-decor items and do interior redesign.  I will begin small and re-evaluate as I go.  Simplifying my life is another item on the list as is continuing my happiness practices.  Pretty ambitious.

One of the reasons that I think this is doable is because my guy will be back in school in January.  This means most of my weeknight evenings will be free and he’ll be doing homework on weekends.  I can choose to spend my time in front of the TV or doing something that will help me achieve my goals.  I am going to choose my goals!

What are your New Year’s resolutions?
