Wow, this week really flew by! I can’t believe that Christmas came and left and we’re roundin’ the corner to 2009. I’m excited and hopeful that the New Year will bring great things.
My New Years “goals” (I’m using goals instead of resolution because of the bad stigma attached) are as follows:
1. Walk the dog at at least 3 days per week for a minimum of 30 minutes during the cold/dark months.
2. Find my most healthy weight by feeding my body regularly and rejecting the diet mentality.
3. Stop picking at my cuticles.
4. Aim for 8 hours of sleep each night.
5. Keep in touch with family and friends better.
6. Blog daily.
There. I got ‘em down.
Experts say that goals should be SMART:
S-Specific
M-Measurable
A-Attainable
R-Realistic
T-Timely
When looking back over my goals, I realized that only my first two follow the rules of “smart” goals. I guess I’m going to have to work on my last few and doctor them up a bit! Being the overachiever I tend to be, I can think of dozens more goals to add to the list. I suppose I should get them all down and then prioritize from there! I’ll work on that…at least I have 3 more days to do so! The good news is that you don’t have to use New Years as the only time to set goals.
Ok, off to cook some dinner…on the menu…EASY! Whole wheat pasta with marinara, steamed broccoli, and some dessert!
