My Goals for 2011


I am turning 30 in 2011, so I feel like it's an extra important year to make and keep resolutions.  Here they are:

1.)  Worry less
I worry WAY too much.  About my health, J's health, the kids' health, what people think of me, potential accidents, confrontations, etc.  This year I want to focus on letting all that go.  I'm just going to do the best I can and know that I can't have control over everything and everyone.  And not everyone is going to be happy with me all the time - or even like me at all.  I am going to work on being okay with that.

2.)  Complain less
This one was one of last year's goals, and I'm making it a goal again.  I have a great life.  I have all that I could ever need and more.  What do I have to complain about?

3.)  Set a better example of healthy eating for my kids.
I'm going to eat less sugar and fewer processed foods.  I'm going to eat a lot more fruits and vegetables.  I'm also going to work on setting a better example of eating a healthy amount.  I have a big problem with overeating, and I really don't want to pass that on to my kids by being a bad example for them.

4.)  Get to my ideal weight.
15 more pounds to go.

5.)  Spend more time outside.

6.)  Hang up a clothesline and start using it.
I'm really going to do it this year!  Starting this spring.

7.)  Buy more things used.
More Craigslist, garage sales, Goodwill, etc.  I want to make it a habit to look for what I want second-hand before going to the store for what I need.

just found your blog today when searching "elimination communication". i hope you achieve your goals in 2011!! i use a clothesline and LOVE it but it is how i grew up; we didnt have a drier in our house until i was 19 and my mom got cancer so my dad was like "we better buy her a drier to make laundry easier". quite funny now (mom is just fine and happily using the drier). i also want to lose 15 lbs! or at least 13 to get back to pre-pregnancy weight.

basebell6, thanks for the encouragement! And I'm glad to hear your mother is well!
I haven't actually written about elimination communication on the blog - maybe I should!
