Resolutions

I'm not one to make New Year's resolutions....probably because I never seem to keep them, their being far too drastic with words like never, and always, with no exceptions for sometimes and maybe! And then I just feel annoyed, because I couldn't keep the resolution. Gee, I wonder why? So, I play down the resolutions a bit, but still do commit to certain things.
For example, I am excited to get back to my book. I took a break in December, especially over Christmas, concentrating on just resting and enjoying some time with my family. In order for me to actually write this book, I needed that drastically. I must admit I am not thrilled to be returning to work tomorrow morning, but I am thrilled to get back into a regular schedule with blocked out times for writing. December brought a lot of the unexpected, and unscheduled, and it threw me for a loop.
So, my non-resolution? Finish the book.
My second non-resolution? Write every day in the blog, even just a little, especially if I haven't found time to work on the novel.
Third non-resolution? Work out, eat well. Why is it most people have this as a resolution? Again, gee, I wonder why. With obesity rates through the roof and chemicals coming at us every which way, no wonder we all seek improvements on that front. For me, I seriously need to get off my duff. And, once again, barring the unexpected, I have no excuses not to. And, of course, eating well. Nicholas and I are recommitting ourselves to "eating clean," which is a monstrous task when you are busy and just want something quick, but will make us feel better in the long run. For the first time, I'm feeling seriously bogged down by Christmas treats. I hardly ate any, not craving any of the treats I made, and I felt ugh after eating my pastries. This is actually a good thing - I have more motivation to eat clean now that I know my body just can't handle anything else. Rich foods no more! Before I know it I'll be eating mash and soaking my dentures in a glass at night...
All the best to all returning to work tomorrow morning! Here's to a successful year for all of us, whatever are endeavours may be.
