Sure, it may only be the first of November, but I think it's already resolution time for me. My life has been hectic lately so I think making resolutions will help me remember what's important so I can get back on track. Now, there are plenty of things I'd love to change that I haven't been very good at or have tried to change in the past but failed. But that's the nice thing about resolutions: you're looking ahead to a better you rather than worrying about the past.
So what's on my list?
Be more tidy and clean. The bathroom cleaner and vacuum are my friends, and it only take a few minutes every day to pick up after myself. I was doing really well keeping things neat and tidy, but with school keeping me so busy, I quickly fell out of that habit. I need to stop letting my mess get out of hand. This includes...
Doing the dishes daily. Ugh, how I loathe doing dishes. However, ten minutes of washing each day is better than the nasty pile that consists of a weeks worth of grimy dishes. I hate it, but it needs to be done.
Plan healthy meals. This is going to be a tough one, without a doubt. I want to be healthy, really I do, but the Boyfriend and I continuously find ourselves late in the evening without a plan for dinner. This results in either eating fast food or going to the store for something quick and easy (that's code for hamburger helper, pizza, or chicken and a bag-o-pasta). Planning ahead for healthy meals will also give me a chance to clip coupons to save money.
Exercise. The Boyfriend and I are extremely lucky in the fact that we both have high metabolisms and are both fairly thin. This doesn't give us an excuse to be out of shape, however, which I definitely am. I get winded carrying groceries up one flight of stairs! No good. I need to bust out that yoga video again (which I've only used once) and keep nagging the Boyfriend to buy an exercise bike with me.
Hopefully I try and make these good habits a part of my daily routine. Am I a little doubtful? Maybe, but that doesn't mean I won't try.
What kind of things would be on your resolution list?
