Promises, Promises

Last year I decided to change things up a bit.  I did not make resolutions.  I never kept them anyway, so why continue to do something that wasn't working anyway?  I thought about it and making promises seemed a better way to go.
When I looked back at the promises I made to myself last year, I managed to keep most of them.  So, since this seems to be working, I'm going to make some new promises to myself.

  • I need to continue to work on meal planning for my family.  When we have a meal plan in place things just run more smoothly.
  • I want to scrapbook.  This is one promise that I did not keep last year.  This year I am determined to find the time and motivation (at the same time) to tackle the scrapbooks.
  • I want to get to Denver with the boys to see the aquarium and zoo.  
  • I will continue to read, new books, old books, Kindle books, anything that gives me that escape, if only for a few minutes.
  • I will make time to do something for my body--ball exercises, ab work, walking--something physical that is good for me.
There, I think those are generally specific enough that I will keep them.  
Did you make resolutions?  Have you kept them or have you already broken them?   If not, good luck, if you have give promises a shot.  They are way easier to keep.

  1. I like your resolutions. I have made none this year. It just feels like it's going to be one of those take it as it comes years.

  4. I need to be better about meal planning as well. All too often I throw something together at the last minute & when I do that it isn;t usually the healthiest choice.

    I also want to be a healthier me, my body is lugging around way too many extra pounds & I am getting fed up with it. I hope that I am fed up enough to stick to losing some of it!
