New Year, New Me!

[Sassygirl06 962]

So excited for the new year this time around! For the first time ever my new years resolution to lose weight will come true! Theres no mabye about it, I WILL suceed!

That feels so great to say.

So now that are new years weight resolutions will all be coming true.......What are some ideas for New new years eve resolutions for us?

For me; I resolve to make time for myself, and treat myself sometimes too.

This is especially hard for me to do. I am a mother of 3, and for those of us with kids know, once you have kids it is no longer all about ourselves. When I go to a store I have no problem buying all of my children new clothes, or toys, or things they need.....but when it comes to buying something for myself, well I don't really need it, I can wait....we dont have the money. Not anymore. I am going to treat myself every once in a while to something that I truely want or need. I deserve it.

What do you resolve to do for yourself?

OMG. As a Mother myself, I struggle with the same things. I have no problem spending money on my Hubby or Son but when it comes to me I don't really need it or it can wait or... You get the point.

I have started having my nails done every 2 weeks as a treat along my journey. Once a month I have my toes done. Once I hit 50 lbs lost I am going to have my teeth whitened. I am trying to have small goals/rewards as I progress.

It is fun but also an adjustment. We are so used to putting ourselves last. 2012 is the time to change all of that.

Cool post!

The interesting part of the journey for me has been the need to buy new clothes. I didn't really treat myself to clothes very often before because things didn't look good on me. That has been a huge change. I love to buy clothes :-) It is the one thing I will save up for. Nothing makes me happier than to put on all my new, smaller stuff.

Totally, shallow, I know.

Also, I have been spending a little more money on getting massages. Now my muscles hurt from exercise rather than carrying around extra body weight.

I am so much more patient and happy for my family as a result of these little indulgences. They totally see the difference.

I love your post! I think it's awesome that you put yourself on the list . You go girl

Omgosh! I just realized for the first time in my life I won't have losing weight as a new years resolution and it makes me want to cry (for joy) just thinking about that.

I really need to make an effort to get back to hiking and walking on a more consistent basis. I pray I can do that this coming year. I'm so happy to be thin, but I want to be healthy as well.

I hear ya all. Weight loss is not on my list this year, as I know it will happen.

I wish for health, being able active in life, not let anything hold me back from what the year holds.

I am thinking 2012 will be my year

Atleast that is the plan.

Totally love it! Yes we need to put ourselves first sometimes too, not always, but at least sometimes. My hubby definatly can tell that I have been spending more time taking care of myself. I posted a new profile pic on fb and he posted that he thought I was hot, and he loves my new look, and that I am doing my makeup and trying to look good. He also said he wanted to jump my bones...haha, that was a little embarresing! lol

New years resolutions are great, when you actually do them
