Holidays

…to get back into shape.

I used to work out, I used to run, I used to eat normal portions of food.  After 9 months of pregnancy and over 10 months of breastfeeding, I honestly don’t even know how to get back to not stuffing my face at every meal, followed by about 20 snacks.  Now that I don’t need the extra calories, but most definitely need the extra toning, I’m going to try and eat better portions and work out.

The problem is that I resolved to do this last night and then didn’t wake up for my workout this morning.  Oh well, there’s always tomorrow?

…to talk less and listen more.

Obviously, this does not apply here since it’s a blog.  But everywhere else in my life.  I’d like to spend a little more time listening, thinking, and asking questions of others instead of talking.  Even if I am really good at talking.  And making awesome jokes.  And…oh, right…listening.

…to just be happy.

I’m a pretty upbeat person when it comes to work and in social situations, but I have a tendency to get upset pretty easily at home.  I guess it’s because that’s where things matter most and therefore I take it seriously.  Too seriously.  I gotta loosen up and stop stressing out and just be happy.

…to be nicer.

I’ve always tried to be a pretty nice person, but there are definitely more than a handful of times (a day) that I say things that are mean or end up shooting someone down.  Recently, while observing someone making a backhanded comment to someone they loved I realized just how mean it is and I honestly don’t want to be that kind of person.  I think that being happier, letting more things go, and stressing out less about the small stuff will help me not forget just how mean a little snide remark can be.

What are your resolutions?
