Mine are all over the place:
Start reading for myself again
Lose 20-30 pounds
Eat healthier
Build up my savings
Get outside more
Date nights (I actually mentioned this to mh the other day, that maybe we should try and he said he already had one planned. Next Friday we're going to see Jeremy Enigk perform. It's a private show, only 40-60 tickets and they take place in homes and private venues that fans actually volunteer. Sounds cool and I'm surprised he already had it planned out)

My resolutions:
Loose the last 15-20 pounds
Spend less money on frivolous things
Build up savings
Become less anxious with things surrounding my kids
Travel more as a family of four
Try to plan a get away with my husband
Purge before TTC #3, our house is too full
Oh and try to get behind the wheel again...

klong11 other than get outside more, I can agree w these. I didn’t make resolutions, per se, but if I did, it would probably be these. I told MH the other day that we should make it a point to go out at least 1 time per month. Of course he just booked a job that has him out of town for 6 weeks starting in February, so I think we might miss some

Start training for a marathon again
De-clutter the house
Spend more time with the kids that don’t involve tv

I asked Cadence what was something new she wants to do this year and she said she wants to visit a museum, so I'll be looking into that as well.

I need to do the typical better eating, less alcohol thing. But for real... I want to get in a better habit of healthy living before getting pregnant.
Be more present with the kids. Put my freaking phone down. So if you see me on here between 4-8pm, yell at me.
Read more. I’ve had a book sitting on my night stand for like 6 months and haven’t touched it.
I want to try and shop strictly at Aldi this month to see how big of a difference it makes. This is going to be difficult because I love my grocery store and they have order pickup. Already rethinking this decision....

I also need to be more active. I have a compact strider thing in my office that I occasionally get on, but I could definitely use it more.
I'm going to try and do some sort of ab work every day. Hopefully, it will help my back.

I don't know if they're resolutions, per se, but I have some goals:
-More physical activity...I did well for a bit in the fall but fell off the wagon in November/December
-Less 'analysis paralysis'; make a decision and move on
-Generally just be grateful for my blessings and try not to sweat the small/petty stuff or things I cannot control (will the perfect house be for sale next spring??, my MIL, etc)

I'm going to be more proactive about my health. I am in good health and don't have a PCP. But there are several things I need to do now that I am 40. So I will find a PCP and a better dentist that i feel comfortable scheduling appts with

Not resolutions, exactly, but discipline is the name of the game this year.
- Yoga 5x/week
- diet has been abysmal since Thanksgiving so getting that back on track
- get into a more consistent routine with decluttering/deep cleaning
- stick to my budget

Just seeing this thread!
I’m all over the place, too. My goals:
-Drink a lot more water. I’m so bad at this. Some days I may have less than 8oz. 😬
-do an ab workout every night. Abs have never been my favorite and even though I go workout, I hardly do ab work.
-be more present with the kids. I need to spend more quality time with them both.
-purge, purge, purge. I’m realizing how my surroundings affect my moods and when I see there is so much to be done around the house, I’m paralyzed with not knowing where to start and then not much gets accomplished. So I want to get rid of a lot so it’s less I have to keep up with. With MH out of the house for a few months, it should help.
-Save, save, save. Moving. Potential for months without a second income. Enough said.
-I, too, wanted to do more date nights this year, but that will have to wait.
I know there are a few more, but I’m drawing a blank now.

I use the water drink reminder app. It is great for bugging me to drink and really kept my intake up. I record all liquid not just water |
