My Three Resolutions...

Just 172 days before my wedding, January 2^nd will be the day I take control of my body again.  I’ll set my alarm to wake up at 5:30 each morning, drag myself out of bed, get in my cold car and drive 10 minutes to Gold’s Gym.  I’ll do at least 30 minutes of cardio, and at least 20 minutes of strength training to get toned.  I’ll drink my 8 glasses of water a day.  I’ll eat fruits, vegetables, protein, and whole grains.  By June, I’ll be in such great shape that my almost-husband won’t believe it!  And when we fly off to Italy for our honeymoon, I’ll feel good knowing that I’ll be looking hot in my bathing suit, lounging by the pool outside of our rented villa.  And then, I’ll be able to indulge in some amazing Italian cuisine since I worked so hard for the previous 6 months.

2.  Get Organized
I am a complete slob, I admit it.  You’d never know it if you knew me as an acquaintance.  I’m going to take control of my sloth and vow not to throw clothes on the floor.  I’ll sort through my mail as soon as it comes in and I won’t hold on to another useless catalog.  I won’t keep stuff I “might” use and I’ll finally bring all those old clothes to Goodwill.  I’ll get rid of all those magazines I’ve read once and never crack open again.  So then, when I move in with my new husband, he won’t have to yell at me for being so messy!

3.  Stay Connected
Even though the next six months are going to be the busiest of my life thus far, I will maintain contact with all my friends and family.  I will not let people slip away just because I am too busy planning a wedding.  I will ask them how their days and weeks have been going, and keep them up to date on the plans.  I WILL send thank you cards out in a prompt manner and return phone calls.  I will NOT let my wedding be the first time I’ve talked to or seen close friends in months.

So yea, January’s a big month.  But starting small isn’t an option.  It’s time to dive in head first and get moving on my goals.  There’s a lot to do, and a really big, exciting party at the end of all of it.  :o)
