To Resolution or Not???

It's that time of the year - the dreaded New Years resolution dilemma - do you make them or not? I know quite a few people at the YMCA made them - I was there on Saturday morning and it was packed! I was happy to tell one of my neighbors that I had been going to the Y fairly regularly for a couple of months already - for once I wasn't one of those people who start up on January 1st and are gone by the end of the month.

This year I decided not to make any official resolutions. I need to lose weight, and I'm starting the diet tomorrow, but I do this every single year and I'm beyond calling it a resolution. I think I'd rather call it a goal. If I don't do something about meeting this goal, I'll have other things to look forward to (like blood pressure medication and cholesterol medication). I think for the first time, I need to lose the weight (about 25 pounds) so I can be healthy, not just to look good or fit into smaller pants.

Other goals I've set are to be a little more devoted to blogging. All three of my blogs are approaching the three month mark, so hopefully I'll get more chances to monetize them. I've also started cleaning out the basement. We'll have a garage sale in the spring and hopefully eventually find the money to finish the basement into a living area. I have a feeling that won't be happening this year though.

Happy New Year everyone!
