Resolutions

Christmas is over, 2010 is a mere memory, and I have high hopes for a great 2011. In past years I have made promises to myself in January that never really saw the light of March. This year I am doing things a bit differently. I have made only one resolution for 2011: to do away with resolutions altogether. So far so good. It's a good thing I made that resolution too -- I would have been disappointed in myself quite early into the new year. Between ducking into the pantry to scarf down leftover Christmas chocolates without the kids seeing or spending days on end as an extention of the couch, huddled under a cozy blanket instead of on the elliptical trainer sweating out the tonnes of cookies and treats I've indulged in over the past month, I would have failed at my traditional resolutions. Instead of resolutions I've just vowed to do my best to treat me a bit better: maybe get back to the gym or at least increase the physical activity, cut out some of the crappy food that has become a habit, see friends more, and make time for me so that I'm less of a raging lunatic around here. Fingers crossed it will be a calm, healthy, and happy year.
