New Years Resolutions :)


I know. This is a cheap post. Not very creative at all. Oh well :)

1) Have more fun.
I feel like I've lived most of my life doing the "safe" and "right" thing. Maybe it comes with being the eldest child, and coming from a conservation family. This isn't to say that I will go out and do something crazy. Just maybe be a little more daring, a little more silly, than I am used to.

2) Healthier eating habits
I've cut back on eating out a lot since last year. Of course, I love a good meal out every now and then. Let's face it, I'm no Iron Chef. However, I want to make eating out a conscious choice, instead of simply because I have no food at home. I'm also trying to incorperate more soy and less red meat in my cooking.

3) Exercise on a regular basis
Since the winter bluse have set in and I really don't feel like running (or going anywhere) in minus 20 degree C weather, I have invested in some "home gym" items, such as dumb bells, and exercise balls, tae bo dvd's, and exercise videos. I have volleyball on Mondays, and I'm going to get up at 6am so that I can exercise for an hour before heading off to work 3-4 times a week.

4) Track my expenses
I don't think I am a very frivolous person, however, I also realize that I don't know how much I spend on my expenses. After I start doing that, I will also start looking to having an "emergency fund", some savings, and maybe even look in some investments. We'll see. One step at a time.

5) Be less forgetful
I am going to try really hard on this one. Post it notes? I'm not sure.

What are your new year resolutions? :)
