I am so horribly bad at keeping New Years resolutions that I couldn't even keep my resolution to write a blog post about New Year resolutions. (Ha try saying that 5 times fast)
What I do love though is the bright shiny prospects the start of a new year brings. It's like a clean slate, a fresh start. It helps that for us southern hemisphere dwellers it is in summer which I think is a time when people feel more positive and more alive anyway.
Last year I blogged about my plans for 2010 with the beat of intentions and I did make some great inroads towards a more balanced life. I achieved a lot of things around my home that I wanted to but there is still plenty to do this year. I definitely feel proud of the job I am doing of mothering Noah and I will aim to find even more new ways to keep his life fun and fulfilled. Rob and I have worked hard together to keep our relationship on track through IVF and finances and parenting and working.
The only thing that I failed miserably at was ME. I did not take time for myself, I didn't look after myself and I did not lose weight. So even though it is such a cliche - that is where I will be focusing the majority of my attention this year.
I have joined Weight Watchers and so far so good. I have found an amazing counsellor through a blog friend to help get my head in the right place for my weight loss journey. (Apparently my subconscious might be sabotaging my excellent intentions!!!) I'm exercising - a little bit - more. I'm taking time out to relax.
It's only the beginning of a VERY long road and I'm expecting hard times but right now I'm feeling great.
Happy New Year to Me

Good for you - look after you.
ReplyDeleteI plan to make more time for exercise, because I've become very slack with that. I guess it's about making the time, huh?
Good luck, hon! x
