Sunset on Chestnut Hill Reservoir. Oct 2012.
- Eat dinner together as a family on most nights. No TV. No cellphones. No distractions.
- Drink alcohol only 3 nights a week (I've gotten a little too comfortable with the nightly adult beverages).
- Run an ultra-marathon.
- Complete the Whole30 program within the next six months.
- Read 10 books this year with at least 3 being nonfiction.
- Be an example to my little sponge of a daughter. No bickering, fighting or swearing while her ears are listening. And maybe no bickering or fighting in general (swearing OK :).
- Delete my Facebook account. Focus on building genuine and sustaining friendships.
- When fed up in my role as a mom, remember that this little human is learning how to react and behave based on how I react and behave. Enjoy this emotional and curious and limit-testing stage in her life.
- Dates with Lee at least twice a month. Runs. Bike rides. Drinks. Movies. Dinners.
- And finally... Let loose of what I can't control. Serenity will be mine.
P.S. Looking back... 2013. 2012. 2011.

Wednesday - Happy New Year with a rest day! Thursday - Run! 6.8 miles/59 minutes. Friday - TRX + push-ups and sit-ups (TBD).
I also deleted my Facebook account a little before Christmas. One of my resolutions is to join The Junior League or a tennis league to meet new people. Another is to squat 230lbs by the end of the year -eek!
ReplyDeleteI love this resolution list. Call me a cynic, but frankly most make me want to cringe or roll my eyes.
ReplyDelete#1 is high on my list as well. A couple years ago Devon and I bought a table from Ikea that collapses to take up only about a foot of space... unfortunately that's how it's stayed with the exception of very rare dinner guests. Looking to make family breakfasts and dinners at that thing a regular occurrence.
I admire your candour about alcohol. I wanted to put that on my list but felt like I'd sound a bit too much like an alcoholic! Starting Monday until my birthday (January 21st, so not a long term goal) I'm only drinking on the weekends. I will try and keep it going past my birthday but sometimes you just cook something that will go well with a glass of wine or two...
ReplyDeleteGood luck with three nights a week. That sounds achievable.
I also have to admit that i put Facebook back on my iPhone! I just needed it when we were in hospital!
