2009 Resolutions


1. Lose 10 lbs and tone my butt, hips and stomach. Basically, I want to look better in a bikini. The muffintop must go. I also want to train myself to eat less so that I can workout less and still maintain my weight.

2. Stop (ok, reduce dramatically) any shopping done at Walmart. This is really difficult since Walmart is so close and so cheap. However, all they sell is chinese made crap and pay workers next to nothing. Yes, they are cheap, but at what cost? They have a negative impact on the economy, on the planet and on humanity in general.

3. Attempt to be greener. My 3100 square foot house is a little hypocritical, I know. But I want to try to live a little more conservatively in every other aspect. Buy locally grown foods, drive less, generate less trash, purchase things that have less packaging, use less cleaning chemicals etc..

4. Work on my parenting skills and be more proactive. I expect this to make my list every year for the next 15 or so years, if not longer.

5. To have at least as much fun as Ive had in 2008.

6. Reduce the amount of nutrasweet I consume. I LOVE crystal light and I use nutrasweet (or splenda) to replace sugar in my coffee and tea. I'm not looking to eliminate it, but maybe just replace 50% of the artificially sweetened beverages with water or something low in natural sugar.
