2011 Resolutions/Goals

So BF's... I'm used to posting resolutions/goals on 1.1.whatever year, but to be honest I really wasn't ready yesterday to post them. I hadn't really even thought about them too much.

So, I took today and thought about what I really wanted to work on this year and here's what I've come up with.

1. Live healthier. Get Fit. Lose Weight. This is my number one for several reason. A. Because I'm fat and think I'm gross. B. I'm very self-conscious about my weight (see A) C. It makes me afraid to make friends/approach people. I used to be sexy and I don't feel that way at all. It's affecting me to the point where I don't want to do anything physical anymore. Hint, hint. Poor Mr. Sergeant. I know he loves me no matter what the scale says, he does. It's me. I don't love me. Not like this.

2. Blog more. Every time I blog I feel better. I am happier. I feel apart of something. I don't know how many of you out there actually read what I have to say and thats okay. I just like that someone even if it's only one of you is reading the crap I write. It makes me feel special, so thanks. I want to write more, to document more of my life, my changes both physical and mental. What living overseas will be like. How adapting to a new culture & country will be all while raising 2 children, being in an interracial marriage, and being married to the military. The blogging community is so big and awesome. I also want to get to know more of you, my readers whoever you are. ;-)

3. Speaking of the kids (btw these are numbered but definitely not in a particular order) I want to be a better mother. More present, happier. Yell less, laugh more. I hate that to admit it but I do yell. Not my proudest moments and it's something that I am working on diligently. Here's to overcoming that. 

4. I want to put more umph into my marriage. We have a good one. I want a great one. I love Mr. Sergeant with my whole being and we are wonderful together. I want to expand on that. In all aspects of life there is room for improvement and I want to improve. 

5. Save more MONEY. LOL I am a spender. I married a spender. We like to spend money. It's a bad habit and weakness. I want to become a better money manager. This year I/we will do just that. Trust me you'll be hearing about it. LOL I want to become a smarter consumer. 

6. Become a better person overall. I want to be the wife. mom. friend. sister. daughter. aunt. cousin. person. that deep down I've always known I could be, but just haven't. I want to not sweat the small things because life is so short and too precious for disagreements to turn into grudges that turn into not speaking for months/sometime years at a time. 

I know there are some that I am forgetting, but I've got a list. I've got a starting point and I am determined to see this these goals through. Here's to a successful 2011, filled with love, happiness, and moments to remember for the rest of my life.
