I’m really not one to make New Year’s Resolutions. I like to work on improving myself year round. But I have in years past resolved to lose weight.
 
Well, this New Year rolled around and I find myself again wanting to resolve to lose weight. And then I hate that I’m becoming *that person,* the one who resolves every year to lose weight and never does. So, I’m not going to be that person! I’m making some new resolutions this year!
 
1. I resolve to create healthy habits.
 
My sister is going to be my workout accountability partner and we’re going to exercise three times a week. I’ve been following the Trim Healthy Mama diet, but I cheat way too much! This year I’m going to cut back my cheating to only one day a week. Yeah, I know, that’s still a lot, but it’s less than I have been doing!
 
2. I resolve to read one new book about birth each month.
 
I have a fantastic lending library for my clients! I’ve read a lot of them, but not all. So this year I’m setting a goal of reading one book a month. Between doula work, homeschooling, and housekeeping, I think that’s a realistic goal for me.
 
3. I resolve to write out a to-do list every weekday morning.
 
I find I get so much more work done when I write myself a realistic to-do list. Hopefully this will help me stay on top of laundry!
 
4. I resolve to read my Bible everyday.
 
I started last year doing well, but I fizzled out in December when I was supposed to be reading Revelation. I get a New Testament reading plan emailed to me from Bible Gateway, so I’m going to continue with that.
 
I think I have some realistic and measurable goals for myself this year. I’m excited!
 
Do you have any New Year’s Resolutions?
