New Year's Resolutions, anyone?

[jeaniebueller]

Is there a thread yet?

[nextbigthing]

big one is lost the last 10 lbs to get back to prebaby weight, then lose another 15
be more organized (started this by donating 7 huge garbage bags of clothes last week)
getting back in the gym 3-4 days a week, I've slacked because I'd rather spend my free time with DS and then I'm exhausted

Just kidding - I just wanted an excuse to use a Bridget Jones gif.

TO BE ON TIME. For god's sake. I am ALWAYS 15-30 mins late for EVERYTHING. I don't even have "new baby" as an excuse anymore seeing how she's 9 months old. GET IT TOGETHER SG.

[teatimefor2]

- drop 6 lbs
- gym four days per week
- to have more patience with DH
- weekly solo activity with each boy
- monthly date with DH
- continue to stay on top of my volunteering activities

*Maintain my workout routine which should result in weight loss. Especially since I eat better when working out.

*Meal plan and stick to it to cut back on take out

*put down the phone more and be more present

*cut back on shopping and try to save more

*purge all unecessary items from the house and do it regularly with clothes and toys etc. No more holding onto things thinking I will sell them. That's just not realistic and I feel so much better when the house is organized. And to be organized we need to regularly purge stuff we aren't using anymore.

So many things! I feel like I've just been treading water since we moved. I need to do lots of things:
-find a dentist and start with a treatment plan
-start therapy for birth related PTSD and come up with a plan for TTC #2
-join the gym and go 3x/week
-rejoin WW and follow the program to lose 30 pounds
-read the Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up book and start getting the house in order
-work on making the house a home (decorating and unpacking the last few boxes)
-make and follow a budget
-start meal planning and cooking more
-put more effort into my job
-find a babysitter and date my husband more
-plan our summer vacation

I need to limit my GBCNing time. Maybe to just an hour or so in the morning. It's too addicting, lol.

Since I'm pregnant, this is the first time I'll hit January 1 and not take the sober January pledge with my H. I'm already sober! 

I'm not resolving to lose weight or drink less until 2017. I have a lot of make-up drinking to do from June 1- December 31, 2016. 

[WOUNDTIGHT]

Lose 20 lbs
Start a college savings for kiddo
Organize my sock basket & basement
Work on landscaping
Not stay up until 2:00 am Christmas Eve wrapping presents

[jeaniebueller]

1. Lose 20 pounds
2. Get back into good shape--runningwise. Run 2 half marathons (May and October)
3. Spend less money
4. Spend less time on my phone
5. Eat healthier (this goes along with 1 and 2)

- keep the house cleaner and Konmari-er
- meal plan more to save money and eat healthier
- keep increasing my weight at the gym
- save more $$ and shop less
- have more patience with DD

So, basically, everything?

Pretty much this. 

But i want to "decrease my weight by going to the gym" lol

I need to get back into budgeting and expense tracking. 

Also, I want to make a resolution to have sex at least 1x a week, ideally 2-3x. 

[brandienee]

Man. I have so many.

-lose 20 lbs

-get serious about my career, establish my freelance business and find creative ways to grow it.

-keep my new house clean. I can't think in a cluttered environment.

-read one book a week

- spend more time with family and friends.

-work on mindfulness techniques to relieve some anxiety.

-spend less money.

[turtlegirl]

Just like @supergreen - I just want to feel like I have my shit together again.

DD is 4 months old, so we are slowly coming out of the newborn fog and am taking it as an opportunity to make some goals for the year.

- Generally just get into a good/new routine with 3 kids.
- Declutter like crazy and get into a cleaning routine again
- Pay off my car and boost our e-fund

[aspentosh]

-Stop yo-yoing with my weight. I am back up 10lbs from my happy weight. I know a lot of that was depression about our finances and deciding on no #2... but still.

-Stop spending so much money on STUFF.

-And to continue with that... save more. We've already increased H's 401k 2% for next year and we're set to increase our auto-draft into savings, too. But ideally we can increase even more.

-Read a lot. I think my goal was 20 books?

-Pay off H's SL (at least one, but maybe both)

Stretch goals/resolutions-

-Redo bathroom

-Pay off H's car

Also... get my will done! Eff I'm so delinquent on that

Yes this too. We have an old one from when DS was born, but a weird friend did it and I'm not confident it's right. We need a real one.

[Marmee]

Put my health and profession back to top of priority list. I mean of course my kids are top but they were pretty much alone on my priority list for the past decade. They'll all be in school F/T next year...time to get myself together.

[biogirl21]

-lose 60 pounds. For real this time. Either doing WW or low carb.
-get back into the gym. Thinking of taking a class that forces you to go at least twice a week for an hour. That should help, as long as I don't spend the hour in the shower
-get into the Ultrasound program
-be more patient with J. Less yelling
-read at least a book a month
-sex at least once a week
-be less baby crazy, since it isn't going to happen this year
-pay off credit cards. Stop freaking using them

[noodleskooze]

Sell our house
Decide on TTC #2
Get rid of stuff/simplify

[cincodemayo]

I'll join the less phone use train. It was a major goal last year and I did ok for about a month.

Clean/organize for 10-15 minutes daily.

Read 12 books.

Max out H's Roth

Finish my yearly photo book by April!

[cinco]

Get in a better financial position (we have an actual plan of attack)
Race lots, hopefully fast, but as long as I don't get booted off my racing team I'm good, lol.
Date my husband.
Get the whole family eating healthier.

[lmb5109]

Lose 15lbs, walk the dog every weekday, meal plan better, try to cut our budget by a few $100's to prepare for another baby in daycare in 2017.

[Poeticxpassion]

- Lose weight
- Join a gym that has a daycare so DS can get some time to play while I do something good for me!


Those are really the only things I'm focused on. Of course, I would love to save more $$, but I have a feeling I'm going to be spending money on a trainer so I can really get in shape.

[preppy]

Lose the last 19 pounds of baby weight
Sell our rental property
Create a will and choose guardians

[mmmomof2]

I need to get back to yoga and Pilates. I got "busy" and haven't made it as much as I like.

Financially, there are some credit cards I have open and should probably close. I also need to figure out the best rewards program for our spending.

[KaraOrNot]

1) Save money. We had a rough year and it was easy to throw money at some things and treat ourselves a lot. But enough.

2) Lose weight. Eat better.

3) Spend more time doing things. I am way to lazy and it is too easy to waste away the time. Maybe start with at least one activity per week.

4) Put more effort into TTC.

5) Read more. I love reading, but now, all my reading time is on GBCN.

[meij]

1) Read more books than I did in 2015.

2. Lose some weight. I have thirty pounds to lose, but I'd be happy if I lost fifteen of it.

3. Purge. Consign the baby stuff and outgrown clothes. I am drowning in stuff and it's really overwhelming.

[spankswife]

To be in more pictures with the kids.

[longtimenopost]

1. Lose inches and fit into my bridesmaid's dress.
2. Get over my irritation with FSIL. He's marrying her. I need to let it go!
3. Pump until M turns 1 in August and continue BFing as long as we can.

[everafter07]

Maintain current good diet/exercise

Pay $200ish extra/month to mortgage

Meal plan

Potty train DD and get her into her toddler bed

Not buy any clothes/stuff without thinking about it twice if we need it
