Resolutions


Holidays are a time of year for celebrations with friends and family - catching up with those you haven't seen in a while and a great time to reminisce of holidays past, as well as creating new memories. We also reflect on our lives of the past year and look forward to all the possibilities in the new year.

Instead of waiting until the clock is striking midnight on December 31 to try and convince yourself that you're finally going to lose those 10 and some pounds - take some time between the hustle and bustle and really think of what you want out of your life and where you want to be a year from now.

I came across a great website that helps you through this process with very minimal effort. goals.lululemon.com

Goals do not have to be earth shattering - but even the smallest goals will have an impact on your life. A couple weeks before Christmas last year, Chris and I made a goal to give up fast food. I once read somewhere that it takes 30 days of doing something over and over again to become a habit. I'm proud to say that a year later Chris and I are fast food free. We do have the occasional Quizno's or Subway or Tim Horton's (sandwiches only!) Let's face it, it's hard sometimes to pack a sandwich is your purse when you're out with friends. I feel so good about the both of us that we made an attainable goal and stuck to it.

This is what I have planned for this upcoming year:
