Happy New Year!

As 2012 winds down, I am about to, once again, join the throngs of people making resolutions that they hope to keep, but will probably desert by February. Not this year. I am determined to follow my resolutions through to create a better me.
Here's where all of you come in! I may come to you one day, weak and craving something carbolicious, DON'T GIVE IT TO ME!!!!
Kathy, this means you and that treat drawer, and Lara and her stash of Almond Joys!

I figure if I write my resolutions down this year, I will have something to look at everyday to motivate and inspire me, and maybe one of you out there too.

Here's my list:

I will pass my LSAT tests with at least a 160. A lofty goal, but I won't accept less.

I will improve my eating habits. I am going to start the new year off by going on the Paleo Diet. No more refined sugars, processed foods, carb loaded filler foods or *gasp* soda.

I am going to lose the 15 pounds that I have gained since the summer of 2011. I refuse to buy new jeans to accommodate being lethargic. I will be wearing the jeans hiding in the back of my closet by this time next year!

I will have a six-pack, and not one that I can drink!

I am going to run a 5k. Not jog, stop, pant, walk a 5k. I want to wear out my barely used running shoes.

I will volunteer more. I want to make a real difference in my community.

I will learn to crochet. My goal is to make an afghan by the end of 2013.

I will finish the "10 minute skirt" pattern that I started in September.

I will learn to let go without being bitter about it, and accept the fact that there are people that are not in my life because of their own choices and not mine. I cannot change the way that they think or the things that they do. That is their burden and not mine.

I am sure that there will be more to come, but for now I think that is a good start. :)

Happy New Year!
Felix Año Nuevo!
