New year resolutions --- January Siggy!
Just a reminder ladies, that the January siggy is your new years resolutions 
So, as we're preparing our sig pictures, what are your resolutions?
House Renovations

I am a gluten-free, gun-toting wife! :P
I love you, Daddy...2/24/1953 to 2/13/2011

Re: New year resolutions --- January Siggy!
I need to remember to update my siggy....I forgot to do the December one.
Anyway - I think my main resolution is to get back down to (or below) my wedding weight. I've only put on about 5-7 pounds but still. Mainly I just want to be in shape! And eat healthier - even though we don't eat bad I think there is still room for improvement.
Another resolution is to continue to payoff our debts and save money.
I also want to run a 5k in the spring.
ditto getting back down to my wedding weight....sadly, ive got about 15 lbs to go before that happens (shameful!!!)
i would also like to continue paying off debt. we're trying to figure out what we can pay off easiest first right now.
oh yeah....and start P90X since i finally got the dvds (but still need the pullup bar and some extra weights before i start)

You can use resistance bands instead of the pull-ups if that's easier. All you need is a spot to hook them on that's up high....they show you how to do both during the video. Just an FYI!
Lauren, you pretty much said it for me already. I want to get into better shape, too. I also eat well, but know that it could always be better.
We also need to get our butts in gear on building a good savings account.
I would also like to run a 5k this spring/summer.
Plus: I want to really start jumping Velvet and seeing more improvement in our "togetherness." I MUST ride more often!
Since I got CS5 for Christmas and DH is building a new computer- I need to start getting freelance/web/design/photo stuff in order.
It's going to be a very busy 2011 - - Bring it on!!
p.s. I have no idea how I'm going to turn this into a siggy
- Get back to exercising, even if it's only 2 days during the week and both days on the weekend. I've gained weight back in my face, which is frustrating because it's so noticeable, and I want to get down to a weight that's much LOWER than my wedding weight!
- Get back ahead of schedule at work, and stay that way. Since Drama Club started I've felt EXTREMELY behind, and I don't like it!
- Keep making DH a priority, even when work is insane the way it is!
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
Like everyone else, I need to get back down to my wedding weight too *sigh*
DH and I...ok ok DH finished Insanity the other day. We were supposed to finish it the day that we got to Iowa and I just wasn't up for the last video after the 12 hour drive and just haven't been in the mood to work out at all since being home.
So DH wants to do P90x when we get home so my goal is firstly to lose weight and tone up and secondly to finish the darn video set haha
I also want to start paying off some of the loans we have if we can
Keep working hard at work so I can get more hours, which we need if we're going to want to start paying off these loans haha!
- get back to the wedding weight and maintain it... just get back into a swing of things with going to the gym like I did before the wedding. I've been so tired lately.
- be a good wife and puppy mommy... continuing with my cooking adventures
- go to church more... I did really good with this in Jan thru May of 2010, and I felt so good in life and about myself. Then life got too busy. I started going again in December. I love going to church. I need to find ways to work in going, even if I work all weekend.
- work hard with DH to keep on saving up for our house downpayment. We're really hoping not to rent again once our lease ends in August... hoping to buy in late spring early summer.
- stay on track (I've been doing well) with paying off my student loans on the 10-year plan as long as I can.
I really need to eat better too. I'm hoping to get back in shape...I've only gained about 5 pounds since the wedding, but I'd like to get that off and just feel better. Hopefully I'll find the time to get active again in the new year too.
Also, I want to make sure to plan fun but inexpensive date nights with DH. I think some fun stay-in game nights and movie nights might be in order.
I have to remember to make my siggy after dinner! I forgot to do the December one too!
my read shelf:
I really don't want to put lose weight or shape up or exercise more because that's always everyones. I've been wanting to do it for a while, i shouldn't have to wait till new years to get started. so i'm starting tomorrow, i go for a class in the morning. lol
I really want to work on something similar to Keryn. I want to be able to handle stress without letting it eat at me. I want to be able to not get so worked up and exhausted. I want peace and be able to be less stressed.
I also want to work on being more open I suppose to people. I see i fall into a routine in life where I seem to be friends with people but then they all just run off and I'm left in the dust. I don't know if i should be nicer? or more open? More positive (although i think i am pretty positive in life, i think i just let all my negative out online)? But I want to have that buddy that I can run off talking to at lunch time or someone waiting for me to clock out so we can walk out together. someone texting me at home. I miss having a girlfriend. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
also save more money
