The Shoe Fits

So, I have had a lot of time to think about my new year resolutions. I didn’t want to plan any that were generic or cliche. I really want to strive to be a better person, for me and for Marcus and my future children. So here they are!

1. Be more outgoing. Okay, this is definitely a new one for me. I am not aiming to become Ms. Party Animal/Social butterfly, but I hardly leave the house unless I have to and usually don’t hang out with people unless they really lay it on thick. My goal is to at least go out occassionally, do some social interactions and hang out with people more.

2. Be healthy. So here is my way of cheating, sort of. I want to be healthy and that definitely includes losing weight. But it also includes cutting out bad cholesterol, bad fats, and sugars. I really want to minimize my risk for some diseases like diabetes and heart disease as they run in my family bigtime. I also want to cut out as much caffiene as I can and processed foods.

3. Volunteer More. I really enjoyed doing community service with my sorority and I don’t want it to end just because I am not an undergraduate anymore. I hope I can do community service more related to my interests and goals.

4. Learn a new Skill. My goal is to learn the piano, but I can settle for anything else, like learning to drive a manual!

These are my big ones for this year, of course I still have my larger goal list but these are my short term goals that will hopefully fulfill the bigger ones!
