It's New Year's Day! Another year...we've lived to see its start.
And as always, I'm filled with optimism at the year's dawning.
And with big plans!
THIS is the year I'll get back to a healthy weight. Why not? It's hardly an impossible goal, after all.
Here's my plan. . .
Eat less.
Exercise more.
Ta da!
I spoke with an expert recently, who said a good little trick when trying to eat healthier is, rather than deciding to eliminate all unhealthy items from your diet (unrealistic much??) you should rather resolve to add healthy items.
She told me this will result in you consuming fewer unhealthy calories and foods. . . and this is how you can trick yourself into eating healthier...and losing weight as a byproduct.
THIS is the year I'll finish a novel, and market it. Maybe I can become a published novelist! Why not? It's hardly an impossible goal, after all.
Here's my plan. . .
Finish the book I began during the NANOWRIMO challenge in November, polish it up, and try to sell the darned thing. It's an Amish romance . . . they're hot right now. (Although the book isn't...no sex in these things!)
THIS is the year I'll finally go to Europe! Why not? It's hardly an impossible goal, after all! I'm looking into visiting Italy, and have been studying Italian since June.
THIS is the year I'll get the clutter in my house under control.
Well . . . maybe I need to be realistic. ;)
After all, the experts all agree one should be realistic about those New Year's goals!
Maybe I'll clean out my closet, anyway.
Happy New Year, and good luck with your goals!
