Okay, Let's Resolve

Not to sound all Valerie Whats-Her-Name on the Jenny Craig commercials, buuuuut . . . this is the first year in a long, long, long time that I have not had a New Years Resolution that has anything to do with losing weight.

I'm not shedding tears over it (a la Valerie) but it feels pretty damn good.

Even last year when I was around 20 weeks pregnant at New Years, I made a resolution to lose weight (and look good in my favorite little black dress by the following NYE -- not that I'm going anywhere, but I could still rock that dress if I wanted to!). The year before that? Lose weight. The year before that? Lose weight (that one was halted when I found out I was pregnant just 6-7 weeks into the year). The year before that? Yeah. Lose weight.

So it feels good -- very, very good -- to know that my number one resolution does not have a thing in the world to do with my weight.

So, here they are. My New Years Resolutions:

1) Nag Hubs until he finishes the attic so we can start storing things up there (this is number one for two reasons: the first being that if he waits too late to do it it will be way too stifling hot to get it done and the second being that, well, he has to do that so that I can do my second resolution).
2) Completely organize and clean out my garage.
3) Re-organize my kitchen cabinets and de-clutter the junk drawer(s).
4) GET BUFF!
5) Take advantge of the classes offered at our community rec center.
6) Maintain my weight loss -- not weigh more than 145 pounds.

Six resolutions. All manageable (I hope).

Bring it on, 2009!
