New Year's Resolutions?
We all know we make them (and for me, rarely keep them!). What are your goals or resolutions for 2012?

Re: New Year's Resolutions?
I have about a million goals for 2012....so here goes, in no particular order.
Start a roth for me
Pay more towards our cars
Pay off some debt
Open a savings acct/save for a new house (hoping to buy/build in late 2012/early 2013)
Make a baby...hopefully without IVF!
Go to church on a regular basis...we've gotten bad about not going/making excuses. We need to stop that!
Lose 20lbs (I need to do this before I get pregnant)
Fix some little things in our house to get it ready to sell, as well as redo the bathroom floor.
For some reason I have a feeling 2012 is going to be a great year for us, I refuse to lose track of my goals! Any tips/tricks you ladies do to keep yourself in check?!
I'm repeating two from last year since they went well:
Read 35 books this year (up from 25 in 2011)
Try out 12 new recipes.
The big one for me, though, is to complete a 20k and/or half marathon this year. Its something I've been daydreaming about since I started running again two years ago and I decided to give it a go this year. So as long as my supply holds up to the exercise I'll be registering for Dam to Dam....yikes!!!!!
Mine are posted on my fridge - and I did pretty good with my 2011 goals.
1. NO added debt
2. Pay off $X in debt (I do have a certain number in mind, just not for the world to see. )
3. Complete FXB
4. Win FXB at my location ($1000!!)
5. Complete my Childbirth Educator certification
6. Attend 8 births as a doula
7. Teach 5 (8-week) childbirth classes
Those are my top two goals right now too!
another is to eat better.
work on my relationship with my sister

just work on myself in general. And I feel like I can do that if I can get healthy
Run Dam to Dam
Run at least one half marathon
Keep up with entering bills and watching our budget more closely
Get back in shape - lose some weight, get a tighter tummy & thighs, not be so wimpy, win the 10+ fitness challenge
Cook more meals - I think I'll steal someone else's and go with cook 2 new meals a month
Be more intimate with my H
Look more put together for work - either do my hair, put on makeup, throw on some jewelry
Lose some weight, though I'm not sure how well this one will go since we plan to do IVF soon
Get pregnant, we're hopefully going to do IVF within the next few months
Pay off DH's truck and our small amount of CC debt, leaving our mortgage as our only debt
Become more organized and tidy
IVF w/ICSI - transferred 2; froze 3
Beta #1 150 Beta #2 320 - 7/16 124 bpm (6w5d) EDD 3/6/13
Our team green baby was a girl! Emma Lynn born 2/23/13
