A New Year
It's the new year, so everyone is making New Year's resolutions. There's a lot of things in my life that I would like to change, so here's my list. Some of these are silly, some more serious. I expect to have a varying degree of success and failure with all of them.
1. Lose fifteen to twenty pounds.
Over the past year or so, I've put on some weight and I really want to get rid of it. Ideally, I'd like to get back to how I look in this picture. I'm not too far off, but it seems insurmountable, for some reason. I have to keep in mind that I lost 50 pounds my senior year in college, so this is a piece of cake. Maybe that's a bad analogy, though. ;-)
2. Drink eight glasses of water a day.
During May and June I did this every work day. Now I'm back to drinking no water at all. I definitely noticed an improvement in my appearance when I was drinking that much, so it's time to do it again. I need to see if Steven will go back to paying me $1.00 for every eight glasses of water I drink. I'll take all the motivation I can!
3. StairMaster harder and longer.
I've slacked back to a level 3 session on the StairMaster when I exercise. I was thinking back to when I used to really use that thing hard and stairmaster for at least a half hour (sometimes forty minutes) and at a much higher level. I always felt so good about myself when I got off after burning 300 calories. Now, I burn just over 100. Time to keep it back up. I'll do harder sessions and on days that I only stairmaster without going to the gym, at least a half hour.
4. Go to the gym more.
I used to go at least three times a week and now I'm down to like three times a year. I can't even remember the last time I went in the gym. That has got to change.
5. Eat better.
I eat like crap. I will never be one of those people that have no fat in their meals, but I can stop having incredibly unhealthy lunches like I've taken to eating.
6. Save more money.
I have just been out of control these last few months. I need to go back to writing checks and stop using the credit cards so much. It's too easy to spend the money that way.
7. Stop worrying so damn much.
I worry about everything and it's so pointless to, especially the things I can't change. I am going to try and go back to the even tempered girl that I was for a long time.
8. Be more positive.
Kind of goes on the heels of the resolution above. I have a good life: wonderful friends and family, a boyfriend that loves me, an adorable cat, a job, and there is no reason I should feel life is as bleak as I some times make it out to be.
9. Watch more movies.
I used to watch movies all the time of all types of genres and styles and now I hardly ever watch any. I miss movies and need to watch more of them.
10. Take more pictures.
I was taking so many photos for Picture Fish and really enjoying it and getting good shots, when I kind of just let my interest in photography wane. Time to fire up the camera again.

These are some good, even-keeled goals for a happier Kymberlie ... not that you seem all that down in blog-world. ;)I blogged today about drinking water. What a difference it makes! As they say... you go girl.

I like it because I can use it to shop online, just like a credit card, but it comes out of the checking account. No interest, no debt!

I haven't thought of many other resolutions for the year, but I know there's stuff I need to work on (kinda like building a better relationship with my boyfriend for one). All in good time, I guess. :)
