I usually like to come up with a good new year's resolution.
For most of the past 12 years or so my resolution has been to lose weight, exercise and generally adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Well....I have sort of already done that. (If you don't count the past two-three weeks of indulgence AND lack of exercise. I wish my scale didn't count it. All in all though I didn't do too badly.)
So of course I plan to keep that all up in 2010. And beyond. That has more or less become a rest of my life resolution I guess you could say.
So when it came to self improvement choices for this year I have been a bit stumped without my old standby to rely on.
I think I have finally decided on two things.
First, most days of the week I am striving to eat the daily recommended servings of fruit and vegetables. While I have adopted a healthier lifestyle and dropped some major poundage, I do not eat anywhere near enough fruits and veggies. That will be important for controlling my cholesterol, so a very beneficial change indeed. Two days in and I am doing pretty well. To maintain though, I have got to find some ways to prepare veggies that I will eat. I am pretty picky on this front so it will most certainly be a challenge.
Second, and boy hidee this one will be a huge challenge for me. I am trying to reduce the amount of time I spend on the computer engaged in non-work related pursuits. In a word, I gotta cut down on the Facebooking. Some comments from my children have led me to examine my computer time and I see now that I am spending more time on than I should. That one is only going marginally better so far. I need to figure out and set some limits for myself and that should help.
I am considering dedicating a day where I do absolutely no extra curricular computer time at all. I haven't quite made that decision however.
So I think those two are enough for now. There are as ever a million things I would like to do/change/etc. But one must start with small bites.
Now. I have told you about my plans. What are yours?

My resolution is a continuation of a 2009 project. I will continue to go through our stuff and get rid of stuff we don't use. I was brutal at times last year, but I don't regret getting rid of anything. Less stuff frees up space in the house on my to do list.
To relax, slow down and enjoy life more.
