| New Year's Aftermath |
I actually look forward to New Year's Resolutions. They give me hope for something better in the new year. Once a resolution is chosen, it remains to be seen whether I will actually follow through. My track record is not good, but the year always starts out with promise.
The key to picking a good new year's resolution is to find one that you look forward to completing. This makes working out a bad new years resolution for me. I rarely look forward to working out, but I do look forward to specific activities that involve working out. Playing a sport, walking or running with a friend, and even taking on my daughter on "Just Dance" are work out options for me that don't feel like work. I have a much better track record of completing "work out" resolutions when they don't involve a generic amount of type at the gym. Those will fizzle out for me by February.
A new resolution we are making as a family this year is to have at least one family fun day a month. I am hoping most months we are able to squeeze in more than that, but we will make sure at least one day happens!
I am really excited about this one! I am hoping the whole family will look forward to what we will do each month. Even though my kids are still in Elementary School, it's easy to fall into a rut doing the same things over and over again. This resolution should help us discover new things that we like to do as a family.
Another healthy resolution that doesn't involve working out, does involve medication. I am notorious about taking myself off prescribed medication early. This tactic makes flare ups worse when they happen. So, this year I am resolving to stay on prescribed medication for the period it is prescribed. Seems easy enough, but we will see how this one goes.
What are your new year's resolutions? I would love to hear them. Maybe, you will inspire me to do something new this year. Please share with a comment below, and Happy 2012 everyone!
