New Years Expectations?

[RedHandedJill]

Many people start off the new year with a fresh list of "New Years Resolutions", of things that they wish to be accomplished. I like to call them "New Years Expectations" because I expect and strive to and accomplish. What do all you ladies have on your lists this upcoming year? Anyone else with me on losing some lbs?

- Be on FB less
- Get a job
- Be in one play at my school (?)
- Get a life (whatever that means or entails)
- Lose about 10 pounds and get fit
- Try and be more health conscious
- Open myself up to new things and take more chances

LOL - If you don't know what it means, then don't make it a resolution!

I personally don't make resolutions. Sure, the new year might signify fresh starts for some, but I try to live each and every day of my life that way.

I don't do New Year's Resolutions anymore because I never stick to them. More power to you who actually manage to!

Mine are to get anew job, which will happen in one way or another. And losing weight too, hopefully the Wii fit will help! Eating more healthily too.

I don't make resolutions. Too much pressure. And I don't really have expectations. Too easy to be disappointed.

So I guess for the New Year, I want to just take life one day at a time and hope for the best.

My main goal is to get more organized so I'll have time again for ballet and the gym . And I 'm looking forward to my twins graduating fro college in June. But that creates another goal of getting their student loans paid off and them getting really good jobs.

Christmas resolutions are very easy to make, and very easy to keep if you have good control........... most times I do.I have several this year, and I think its always good to make a plan and stick to it, even if its boring there usually good for me :lol:

Re: New Years Expectations?

Jobs are hard to come by lately. I must have applied to 12 places in the last couple of months and none are hiring. At this point, I'm out of ideas...

I couldn't have said it any better.

I just want a happy and healthy year, without the pressure of making any resolutions and whatnot.

Well, this year's been tough for me, but I've discovered I want to be myself and be a better person, and really not hide how Disney obsessed I am anymore because it's part of who I am. It's not much of a resolution, but I just want to stick to that and try to become a better person and do better in school, and I start High School next year so I want to keep my grades up then. =)

Those are great! Hiding our Disney obsessions just isn't healthy Flaunt it!!!

Re: New Years Expectations?

Well I started my resoultion even before the new year..which was to lose weight not for vanity reasons, but more for the fact that I have discovered recently in both sides of my family , there are many health issues (some really bad) and that discovery alone made me do something to make me a better healthier person. Many of the illiness are preventable, so I already accomplished the first step, recognizing I have a problem with weight and second that I'm headed for the right direction in making my health my prioityl.

Re: New Years Expectations?

These are all great goals and hopes. I hope that each of you reach them and have a better year than this one. Cheers!

Re: New Years Expectations?

I want to save more money. Which should be easy considering I live at home and don't have very many expenses but... yeah. So this morning I got paid and put half my paycheck in my savings account. Hopefully that'll help. I want to buy a house.

Re: New Years Expectations?

I'm looking forward to my first full year of retirement. The biggest surprise of 2009 was finding myself in a financial position to retire two years earlier than planned. If I remain in good health, I should be able to put a few more miles on the bike. I might be able to squeeze in a little travel, too.

I could stand to lose a few pounds (10 would be nice), but I'm ok with staying around 155, as it's in the "normal" range for my height.

No doubt there will be surprises for 2010, some good, others not so. Like Buttercup, I plan to take each day as it comes and see where it leads.

-Save money
-Find a job
-Exercise more (i've been kinda lacking in that area as of late cause I hate going walking alone in the morning, I seem to have less motivation.)
