Okay, I know this is early to post, but....What is/are your...New Years Resolutions?

I can't believe our year is winding down...but there is so much to come for us in 2008!!! Some will have new babies , houses , awesome vacations , finish school, start jobs...etc!!! And our First Anniversaries

So how about some New Years Resolutions!!!

Here are mine:

1. Last year was lose weight-this year it is to keep strict on low carb (it will be a year on New Years Day)-and make a gym schedule so I will look as fine as Lupe did in my Boudoir pics with Blue Daisy! Luckily, I don't have much more, and a very nice attorney that I work with sometimes lives right here and asked me to be a gym buddy!

2. Get to places on time! DH and I are habitually late...everywhere. I am setting my alarm even earlier and putting it far out of reach...once you are out of bed, that is half the challenge. Plus, with my new court assignment next year with the administrative judge of Family Court, lateness is cause for sanctions!

3. Smoking-stop it! We are going to try hypnosis and I haven't had a cigarette in a few days (and DH wonders why I was so mean)-but I want to be healthy and we have a friend who it worked for, so we are going to do hypnosis together (I will let you guys know if it worked)-for now, I need some Nicorette!

How bout everyone else?

HMMMMM.....Let me think...

I want to lose weight and actually make it to the gym and work out for more than 15min!!!
DH got me a membership and as long as I have him there to motivate me, I think I can do it.. I got at least 15lbs to go and I want to lower my carb intake and start eating healthier!!!

I also want to try and control my temper.. I swear I am like the Hulk sometimes!! and I do scare everyone around me.. I have a bad habit of saying the most hurtful things when I am pissed off and I really want to be able to bite my tongue, so to speak..

So with that, I want to try and be a little nicer.. DH told me I am a b*tch.. I really just thinks it's bc I have no patience.. for anything or anybody.. so maybe I should be a little more patient!!!

OMG Michelle, I LOVE this thread!!! Its not too early!!!! Here are mine...

1) STOP SMOKING I've FINALLLLLYYY reached the point where I HATE it. I hate that i'm a slave to these bloody things! Plus DH is ridiculously, wildly, fanatically ANTI SMOKING and its been really hard on him to watch me do it for 6 years. Soooo the plan is to start Chantix in the new year, a few friends have had a better time using that than sheer willpower, and I just know i'm not strong enough to do it cold turkey!!! Best of luck to ALL of us trying to get off the cancer sticks!!!! I want more years with DH!!! I want and I wont start TTC til these are OUT of my life!!!

2) Save some $$$ and start looking for a house, god only knows if we can do that this year, but might as well take a look!!!

3) Get my lazy butt to the gym. The wedding stress helped me drop about 12 pounds in the last 3 months YAY!!!
but I just know I'll start piling on the pounds now that that's overwith, so a little preemptive planning is in order. I already belong to NYSC but I hear it works better if you actually GO there. We'll see.

So that's all I can think of for now, I'm sure there are other little goals for 2008, I hope the rest of the girlies add theirs and we can all give each other a little love!!!!!

Great post Michelle. ALSOOOOO I will post pics later of the OUTRAGEOUS SHOES my sister's BF got her for xmas, they are stunning... This shoe thing is a family disease apparently....

I have to add that I want to pay off my bills.. This is DH's resolution.. If we are EVER going to buy a house, then I need to stopy buying myself presents.. Presents are BAAAAD!!!! They are only good when someone else buys them for you!!!

I would say I would like to quit smoking.. I would definitely like to cut back.. I just enjoy it so much dammit!!!!!

Are we long distance cousins or something? To me, there is nothing like a new pair of shoes....I made my DH take about 10 pics of me in my Louboutins on our HM!


Also, let me know if the Chantix works, because I am a henious b!tch right about now...DH said he can't deal with me like this!!!

Yeah, and that is what *****...the real challenge for us will be the beginning of the Hamptons club season...ugh!

At first, I said, I will just socially smoke...but I know how well that works!

I smoked 2 cigarettes while we were in Vegas 2 weeks ago and then I didn't smoke for over a week.. I thought I was doing fine, until I hung out with my sister who is a fiend.. and I went and bought her a pack thinking I would take a couple from her and ended up smoking the pack..

And there is my life story

To stop cursing. Never happens though I have severe potty mouth.

I just have 2 that I struggle with every year:

To get into shape by working out & eating better & learning to cook healthy meals.

To find a new job and save as much money as I can & curb the senseless spending b/c we'd like to have a baby soon.

* Work as hard as I possibly can at Physical Therapy so I can get better as soon as humanly possible.

* Live like we're already paying the mortgage we think we can afford! Stick to a budget and write down every penny we spend so we can make sure we're right.

Which leads me to my next resolution ...

* .... BUY OUR FIRST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My First Resolution is to take All my medicines. I am so Bad with Not taking my Meds.
I will Take them every day.

Second will be to watch my attitudes & my mouth. Sometimes I can be B I TCHY!!!

Thirds will be to Watch our Spending. We have to Stop spending $$$ on garbage.

1 Take care of myself so I can be healthy like sleeping enough, exercising, etc.
2 Save some $$$ and stop wasting it on stupid things.
3 Be good to people & be less selfish & make sure I keep in touch with people.
4 Get more organized. Stop procrastinating!

I really want '08 to be a good year!!

1. to be a good wife (I really need to work on this)
2. to learn to cook (I can't even fry eggs)
3. to turn what I do at my second job into a real business
4. to learn to dance (we're terrible dancers)

1.) Start SAVING
Like REALLY saving hardcore. DH and I have been very lax and far too reliant on our credit cards and its added up. I wnat a house. PERIOD. And to do that we need to budget so that the number one resolution-we're buying all the little luxuries now cause next year NONE of that unless its in the budget.

2.) Start my DBT therapy again....I suffer from anxxiety and when it gets out of control (as it too often does lately) i get combative and awful to poor DH and I'm tired of lashing out at him because he is the best man I know and he doesn't deserve that. I love him and love my marriage so I need to do some major work on myself and learn to deal with the anxiety in a way that doesn't harm us.

3.) Pass my damn math class that has been kicking my @ss for years and get over my math anxiety...if idiotic people can pass math, so can I!

4.) Get my driver's lisence FINALLY!!!!

5.) Get my lazy butt to the gym. The wedding stress helped me drop about 10 pounds but it has since found me again so I need to find a buddy and go REGULARLY and not use 'but I'm TIRED' as an excuse. Tired does not a bikini bod make!

5.) start writing again.

6.) really start working on my PS skilsl and gain some confidence so I can start free lancing again.

7.) STOP CUSSING! OMG I have become AWFUL and never used to..I AHTE it too when i hear women cursing..think it sounds so ugly and now I am one of thsoe women Thats one I am startign TODAY!

try and having a or

Here are mine..

1) Get my driver's license....(tried of depending on D to drive me everywhere..)

2) Eat right and lose some weight...(want to look good in my bridesmaid dress for my friends wedding...)

3) Save Money...(I want my house....and Not in 3 years...)

4) Get a better job...

5) Have a Baby...(hopefully the natural way...)

That's all I have for now...

First & foremost: QUIT SMOKING!! I can't even believe I am still doing this to myself. It's horrible. I took some ladies' advice from here and bought the book 'The Easy Way to Quit Smoking'. Will read it this weekend and hopefully be done with this insanely nasty habit.

Second, get into shape. Start eating right and working out. I always use smoking as an excuse not to work out because I'm afraid I'll have a heart attack or something, but no more. I am not heavy but very out of shape.

Definitely learn to cook!!!!
Get more organized.
Find a way out of the black hole of debt I am in (from my ex-husband)

Save $$$ for Europe

Join a freakin gym and get my butt moving again


(usually my resolutions never stick.....maybe that she should be my resolution this year lol)

Buy a home That's it
