Welcome to 2009

I don't know about you all, but I think 2008 flew by without me even realizing it.

In fact, it was just this weekend that I was saying to Zach, "I feel like it was just summer, but its actually the middle of stupid winter." Sucks. I hate the winter. However, I will say, the past two weeks have been mild weather and there has been little to no snow, which is just plain awesome.

So now, 2009 is here. I've made a couple resolutions:
1. I will look very nice for work on Monday-Thursday. Friday can be my only casual, fleece and winter boot day of the week.
2. I will make it to the gym more often. I won't promise a certain amount. I will just say more.
3. I will take Weight Watchers seriously. No more pretending to be on plan. No more estimating points. No more eye-balling serving sizes.
4. I will eat out because I really want to. Not because I don't feel like cooking.

What about you all? Any interesting resolutions? Mine are all a bit cliche, but you know what, it is what I need to work on.

So here we go...

As you may know, I'm getting hitched on July 25, 2009 to the man of my dreams. I can't wait for that day to come... but there's a lot of work to do prior to the wedding. Much of the work is making me into the person I want to be.

1. I need to lose weight.

• I need to fit into my wedding dress and look awesome (vain, I know... whatever)
• I want to start my new life in the right direction: eating healthy, exercising, feeling great
• I want to set a good example for my future husband (who has a few pounds to lose)
  

2. I want to have more fun with life.

• Sports used to be a huge part of my life. Now, I only participate from my couch.
• I want to find a way to express myself creatively.
• I want to try yoga.
• I want (more like need) to learn to dance.

3. I need to become a better communicator with my family and friends.

• I always seem to let friendships pass by because I don't stay in touch with people.
• Many of my dearest family members are aging, and I should be calling them more frequently.
• I drive my mother insane with my lack of communication. This relationship needs to be worked on significantly.

Anyway, those are my three goals for now. I'll post my weight loss progress as it comes.
