First of all, I want to wish everyone a healthy, happy and prosperous 2012! I still can't believe we're in the second decade of the millennium. Doesn't it seem like just yesterday that we went through Y2K?
Did you make any resolutions for this year? If you did, here is an interesting article on How to achieve your New Year's Resolutions.
I've stopped making resolutions at 11:59 p.m. on December 31st. I decided a while ago that resolutions can be made at any time of the year. I believe that resolutions are more likely to be kept when you're ready for them. November 1st, 2010 was the last day I made some resolutions. And for the most part, they're still being kept.
Over the Christmas holidays, I was worried that I might not be able to maintain my healthy eating, and there definitely were a few things that I ate that put me over my food limit for the day. However, I didn't obsess over it, or give up completely. I just made sure that I ate correctly the next day. The one thing that I didn't do very well though was drink all of my water every day or take my vitamins regularly. That's ok though, it's a new year and I'm back on track now! (note - this is not a resolution!)
Last night as my friends and I hugged, kissed, blew noisemakers, wished each other Happy New Year, and sang Auld Lang Syne, I was pleased that I hadn't made any resolutions, but that I had goals to look forward to in 2012.
