'Tis the Season for... Resolutions?
Okay, so it's actually the season for giving thanks, but the new calendar for my planner actually begins with December 1, not January 1, so I'm going to start my new resolutions up with the start of my new calendar next week. (As a side note, holy crap how is it December next week already?!) Actually, they are mostly just continuing and revamping my prior resolutions, but I'm also adding some special "Holiday Season" resolutions as well...
Annual Resolutions:
I will continue to try to exercise 4-5 times a week.
I will continue to try to eat healthy and stay within my calorie-range goal.
I will continue to try to put money into my savings each month, and not take any out. (Exceptions: Christmas shopping and vacation.)
I will try to make at least one new recipe a week.
I will only buy coffee out once a week (um, unless the office is out of creamer, like today, but that's an emergency situation), and will try to use a reusable travel mug (which I will hopefully receive for Christmas) whenever I do.
I will try to remember to keep my reusable shopping bags in the car so I don't keep bringing home all the plastic ones. (Don't worry, I do recycle the plastic ones at the grocery store. But I still don't need them in the first place.)
I will floss more. (I'm so terrible at this.)
I am going on a lipgloss-purchasing diet. (Sob! Gifts welcome!) I have so many floating around my house and really need to use those up.! So I am trying to go all of 2009 without buying any more. (Exception: Burt's Bees lip balm.)
Holiday Season resolutions:
I will make as many handmade/homemade gifts as possible. (Unfortunately, I can't find many homemade gift ideas for the men in my family.)
I will make a budget for gifts, baking, and decorations and stick to it.
I will decorate my home for the holidays, because this makes me happy, but I will try to be as creative, "green," and money-conscious as possible.
I will try to use as much reusable gift packaging as I can, and to shred used gift-wrap to be used as packing material later on.
I will celebrate the season with my family and friends as much as possible.
What are your holiday resolutions?
All great resolutions...EXCEPT the lipgloss one! Are you CRAZY?!?! :)
When I get back from my trip next week I will set up the Great Lip Gloss Exchange of 2008 with you :)
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
