So one of my dear EP buddies has revisited her New Year's resolutions, I decided to check mine, and it is a good thing that I did. Here are mine and how I'm doing with them so far.
For once my resolutions are not going to be centered around weight loss.
1) Pay off all credit card debt, leaving only my mortgage and car - working on it, 6 debts will be paid off by May 29; 4 more by Nov 13; faster when raises kick in.
2) Work my tail off for two raises at work this year - working on it, still attending training sessions, raise #1 should be coming up very soon.
3) Plan a great birthday party for DH's 35th this year - birthday is Oct 17, still have some time
On the weightloss/fitness front, this was not included with my NYR's because I am considering this a new lifestyle, not just something to work on this year. I am getting better. I did a full 55 minutes of cardio today. When I started I was doing good to get 20 minutes in.
In all I'm feeling really good about things so far. I've definitely improved my eating habits, I'm working out again. Yeah, I think things are going in the right direction.

Just because
we are tryig to loss weight doesnt mean we have to add that to our NYR. I agree with you that this is a lifestyle change and we will be doing this every year.
Congrats on the debt getting paid off...I love it!
it is a lifestyle change. Once you commit to it, you have to stick with it...but it will make for a much healthier you too.
Well done for getting in 55 minutes...sounds like you have improved a lot from when you first started. I used to only manage about 30 minutes too...now i do about 1hour30...goes to show what you can do when you put your heart and head to it! :)
make NYR because I'm awful at sticking with them. I like yours though, and I also like that weight loss wasn't included- you're right, it's a way of life! Good job on improving your cardio, it sounds like you're definitely heading in the right direction! :)
I think you are the first women ever to NOT have their resolutions centered around some form of weight management. Kudos on that, and the fact that you are up to 55 mins of exercise a day! You def are rockin it girl!
