Planning to Succeed

I learned this weekend that if I don’t plan ahead what I am going to eat, I’ll eat anything whenever I want.

I found this handy free printable food journal from Jen Allyson at TheProjectGirl.com. If you haven’t checked her out, you should!

Thank goodness for all the creative and generous bloggers out there! Now I just need to fill it out.

Goal Setting

I have a lot of goals I'd like to accomplish for 2010 but for the first 3 months I am just going to focus on 2

• 
  
  Losing 15lbs
  
• 
  
   Continue Decluttering
  
  
  

15lbs will be easy to determine when I hit my goal. It's all up to me.

Decluttering, well that's a different story. Things are always coming into the house. If I don't love it, use it on a regular basis, or really and truly need it, it's got to go. I have things, Lolly has lots of things, and Mister has things. I was unsuccessful in getting rid of his Presto Pizzazz Revolving Pizza oven on my pass through the kitchen yesterday. But I have my eye on it and on you too, George Foreman grill.

What Lies Ahead

In preparing for 2010, I started reading this book. Seems my main two focuses most years are losing weight and getting rid of stuff/organizing.

Normally this time of year I am super excited by the start of a new year. All the possibilties that lie ahead. I can't wait to develop my goals, etc.

Right now all I feel is super stuffed. Probably the pizza I had for lunch. Or the 5lbs I gained this month. It's a toss up.

I am hoping to keep it simple. Maybe focus on 2 goals at a time once their mastered move on to something else. Or do I want/need to set a goal/focus in each major area of my life - health, home, family, finances, spiritual, work etc?

Do you make resolutions, set goals, etc for the new year?
