1.) Get rid of much more stuff!
We let go of 40 + grocery sized bags of "stuff" during the fall, and we could easily do it again.
2.) We also want to get back to making monthly meal plans. I used to do this, and we all liked it, but we got away from it, and DH & I definitely want to return to that practice.
3.) And read more. Last year I started off so well with that, but then my FIL passed away in the spring, and for some reason at that point I stopped, and I really didn't pick it up again until the fall.
The summer is when I most need time for myself so it was a terrible time for me to have given up the reading.

To catch up and keep up with all of my laundry. If I accomplish nothing else but that I will consider 2015 a success!
I would also like to get back to cooking at home more and being more organized.

I have one picture on my 2015 dream board on the refrigerator and hanging above my desk of the house we are going to build. Our goal is to be living in it by December 31,2015.

I hope to finally lose the last 20 pounds I've been carrying around now for almost 4 years.
I also want to be just plain more accepting of my husband, accepting his flaws and quirks and not letting them bother me. No pointing them out.
I want to spend more time with my DD. I think she needs more quality time with me. I am considering an exercise class for the two of us.
I want to pay off all my credit card debt. I think I really have a good chance of this happening. I am working on it.

1. I need to lose 20lbs. This will be hard because a medication I take for migraines makes me ravenous.
2. I want to get back to running 5k's. I was loving that. Hopefully this will help #1.
3. I really need to learn not to "make faces" at my husband! I am way to expressive without saying a word.
4. I am planning on getting rid of about half of the clothing and shoes I own. It's ridiculous.
5. I am going to watch way less T.V. I don't know how we got in the habit of just sitting and watching TV after supper.
6. I have spent the last 35 years putting the "wants" of my husband and son before me. Not this year... If I want to go somewhere and they don't want to go, I will just go alone instead of giving up and staying home.
Good Luck everyone!

1 - At the end of the day I will empty my wallet of any $5.00 bills and put them in an envelope in our safe. 2 - Organize, organize, organize. 3 - Continuing from my successful resolution from last year - have a monthly friend date with my girlfriend Cathy. We managed to schedule get togethers every month and it really made a difference in my life. It is nice to be close with good friends and even nicer to have someone make the same effort to get together.

My main goal is to be kinder.
I don't mean just superficially, but a genuine understand that we all walk our own difficult paths and deserve to be treated with compassion and respect. I want the kindness to be genuine, and to be able to look at someone-not in judgement, but in love.
Goofy as all hell I know. But the truth of the matter is that I am feeling harsh lately and I don't like that one little bit. I hate feeling judgy and mean spirited. I want to have the gentleness of spirit that I used to have.

That is pretty much my goals as well, except I would also like to do be able to do a few more crafty things for myself, instead of always doing them for others.

Every year I make too many or make them too hard to possible accomplish. This year I'm going to try to be more realistic. Cherry-picking a few of your ideas, ladies: 1) Just be healthier. No specific goal (which I know I will only push against) - just eat a little healthier and move a little bit more every day. 2) While spending more time w/my husband isn't an option due to his schedule, I would like to make more of the time we do have together. 3) As a SAHM, I need to work on that SAH part. Maintaining my house has fallen on my list of priorities. I need to put it back up near the top. 4) Read more. 5) Scrapbook more. 6) Watch TV less. OK, those last 3 can be lumped in together. So that basically gives me 4 resolutions. I think I can handle that!

I would like to get a used treadmill and train for a 5K for my 50th in August. I'm not a runner at all.
Also, we have to get our finances in order. DD will be going off to college in the fall and we need to get things together to apply for loans, etc. That will be a formidable task since we haven't yet filed 2013 taxes (we get a refund so it's not a huge deal).
Another one is get better organized in general. Our garage is a disaster and I'm just so tired of having so much junk around. Ready to purge!

I want to have the gentleness of spirit that I used to have. Well put. I am definitely too judgy. I need to work on that, too. It's a characteristic I've had for a long time, so it will be a tough one to change. Wishing us both luck!

I would like to get my back figured out and actually heal. Have no pain. And get my life back to my normal. It sucks when I can't even cook dinner without being in so much pain I have to sit down and have daughter take over cooking. most of our meals only take about 20 minutes to cook. I can't even get through Safeway without being in so much pain I want to SCREAM!
My doctor wants me to get more exercise but, I can't walk, I can't sit on my spin bike. I can't do this because I am in so much pain when I do that I want to scream. I can't wait until I can do all this again....

We're making a big move in June, so I absolutely have to start going through everything we own and just get rid of the excess. That's what I'll be most focused on.

I have a long list of things DH and I would like to get done around the house this year and hopefully we'll make it all happen. It will be nice when there aren't any more projects that need doing.
I don't make resolutions therefore I'm not disappointed/angry at myself for not accomplishing them.

Get back into my exercise routine.
Unplug once in a while, including my cellphone, Kindle, etc.

I have lots, but most of them are continuations of things I've already been working on.
- continue tracking my eating, watching both salt and fat intake -join a new gym (mine went out of business) and go 3 to 4 times a week -clean one thing per day

Exercise. Regular exercise. I know it's good for me, but I hate doing it so I resist.
Last year I went vegan and maintained that since February 2013.
Previous years, I cut out soda, fast food, and processed foods. Dropped enough weight that I'm back into size medium or size 10 again, instead of the XL I was wearing for a few years thanks to the prescription medication I was on. Oh what a great feeling that is!. Part of me still wants to push to get back into a size small, but at 54 and in the middle of menopause the other part is saying, "Hey that's pretty good. Don't push it and stop being a darn perfectionist."
I have a great dance/exercise DVD sitting right on top of the TV still in it's shrink wrap waiting to be opened. There is NO excuse. I can do it when it's cold out and there are no membership fees to be paid. I love doing dance/exercise. I even bought the top and exercise pants. Still don't have a bra though, but heck I can use a regular bra at first. I do have to lash down these 38 double DD's though. Man, I hate having big boobs. You'd think losing all of this weight I'd lose some in the cup part, but no, I only lost in the number part of the measurement. Darn things didn't go down one bit. By I can at least start.
Anyway, that's my resolution.
Debbie in MD.

I need to drop fifteen pounds for my health. Wouldn't hurt my self-esteem too.
Need to save more money. That's a hard one because I already am very careful, and saving more money will make it just about impossible to do anything that is not a strict necessity.
I need to organize what we have.

I've started running again which feels soooo good. I'd like to run 3 miles a day at least 3 times per week plus run 5 miles on the weekend. 40 sit ups every night and work up to 75 push-ups. Travel more....both just with DHs and with the three boys. I'd like to start with this place Shutters

1) Lose my remaining 40 pounds. Have lost 70. 2) Continuing from ^ above, I want to be able to PERFECTLY fit into an awesome black suit and blouse, with the shirt tucked in and a belt. Without bulges. People have asked me "when will you feel that you've lost enough weight," and this is what I reply. 3) Get out more. I won't ever find a girlfriend if I don't make myself available to the general public. #3 is the hardest for me, both in practical terms and in emotional terms. I am a VERY hard shell to crack. My BFF once told me, "Getting to be your friend was like going through an alligator-filled swamp on a rickety piece of wood with a paddle and then darting through a minefield only to discover that I had to climb a barbed-fence wire."

Love deeper. This means my family and friends. Practice less self indulgence (food, shopping, etc) Keep working at my fitness goals. Lose the weight I put on over the last 2 years Get help -better help for my mother Practice better self care (meditation, relaxation, small things like painting my nails etc. I have not done a good job at taking care of my needs and must work on this. Better sleep habits, waking earlier in the morning , getting more stuff done in the house etc) Love my dogs more as they are old and won't be with us much longer. Thank God more often for the blessings in my life.

Build a deck out in my courtyard. Keep my weight down and lose more if possible. Eat better to achieve the above. Exercise at least some even though I know it won't be enough. Be more patient with my hubs. Read less. Organize my artistic interests so they aren't overlapping their assigned area. Take better care of my house.
