I resolve to…

by Heidi on January 1, 2008

So it’s the New Year and after my review….I felt I should put up the reso2lutions that boyfriend and I told each other last night at the bar.

1. Lose 10 pounds. I have a free gym membership. I eat decently. But still…140 does not make my 5’2″ self happy. I want to be at least at 130- preferably 120. I may never be a size 2 again with my womanly hips but where’d my size 4 waist go??? :( I want it back – spinning, pilates, and running here i come!

2. Move back North by 2009. Boston (or CT) or bust.

3. Find a job I love….a start to a career. I feel lost career wise and like I’m missing something. I feel like I worked my ass off for five years for nothing. It’s a bad feeling to have. I just want to find something i can see myself doing for longer than 6 months time *sigh*

4. Go on a tropical vacation with boyfriend. Last real vacation? London/Amsterdam in spring of 2006.  I want a real vacation where I can relax on a beach and drink margaritas all day long.

5. Stay in touch with friends and family better. I’m chronically bad at it…staying in touch, emailing/calling friends and family so I want to be better so i don’t miss anything with them.  I vow to write more letters, call more often and email more.

6. Speaking of running – race again! Run again! i want to run 3 miles at least 3x/week. Starting tonight. I’m going to run over to the gym and get a good run in along with a pilates class tonight. Races I want to complete? Capitol Hill 10k. Cherry Blossom 10 miler. Army ten miler (if we’re still in DC).

7. Pay off at least HALF of my credit card debt. I mean, there are people that have a lot more debt than i do but combined with my student loan debt I could buy a small small house. Or at least put a nice down payment on a house. But I’d love for my credit card debt to be paid off so that in case i have to pay for a weddin’ in the next year or two I have the funds to do so.

8.  Oh yeah, and blog 365. I want to write more. If i can blog every day for 365 days? Daaayyyyuuummm. Also, i want to try to write more for my friend’s online magazine. Time and well…lack of time have contributed to my lack of contributions to the magazine. So Let that be…writing more in general. Yes. Writing.

    Wonderful resolutions. I have a lot of the same. I’m also doing blog 365. I’ll find you on there!

    Love your resolutions! Good luck :)

    I wish I could do the blog 365 thing, but I know I won’t be able to, due to vacations and stuff. I’m definitely going to see how long I can go for though!

    Good list of resolutions! And on the cards/mailing thing, I love it. You’d be surprised how few people do it. So easy, and such a meaningful gesture to your friends for sure. Happy 2008!

    I want to run my first race this year. How did you start training, or have you always been a runner?

    Sounds like we have some of the same resolutions, haha. Now let’s hope we can keep them.

    Awesome list girl. Move up to NYC! I’m Philly right now but I’m hoping to be in NYC by this time next year. And the running? We should start a running blog where we have to do a certain mileage every week. I was considering the Cherry Blossom.

    Great resolutions, especially the running (hey, I’m biased)!
