I know everyone comes up with a list of Resolutions every year and every year the same things get listed down. I'm guilty of that. But this year I have resolved to follow through with my resolutions because in the end, it's for my own good anyway. Hahaha, can you totally see through the self-convincing... :P
In 2011 I was forced to accept the fact that I am not anymore as thin as I used to be. I still weigh the same but for some reason, it still doesn't feel the same. Am I getting more compact? Or is it time to finally accept the fact that what used to be muscle mass has now found it's way to fat. :P So this year the top resolution on my list:
1. BECOME FIT! Yup, that's right. That's my top priority. Become fit. hehehe. In 2011, the bu and I attempted to run a couple of times. And both times I thought I was going to pass out. How sad is my life. This year, I'm going to take this seriously. No more excuses. It's time to get serious about getting fit.
2. BECOME HEALTHY. After 4 years of not eating meat products, in 2011 I finally succumbed to the realization that I just wasn't healthy anymore. And although I would someday like to find a better solution, I have come back to the meat-eating fold. This year I'm becoming more healthy and balancing out my meals. :) Here's to a new lifestyle.
3. SAVE MORE. Like in my previous post, this year I'm taking my future seriously. And with that I am preparing for it seriously as well. Here's to smarter decisions in 2012.
4. SPEND MORE TIME WITH MY PARENTS. In 2011 I barely got to see my parents. This year, I'm going to make an effort to see them more often. Have more meals with them and have better conversations with them.
5. READ MORE BOOKS. I love reading. I loved reading since I was kid. I just didn't like making the book reports that were required at that time. Ha! Thanks to technology, I am always able to travel with a few books. This year, I plan to read at least 4 books a month. That's 4 books x 12 months = 48 books. Yaaaay! :)
6. TAKE A VACATION EVERY QUARTER. As the saying goes, work hard, play hard. In the past few years, taking vacations has always taken a back seat to earning a living. I now firmly believe that they should go hand-in-hand and this year, I'm taking it seriously. :) I miss the beach and I miss Baguio and those would be perfect places for me to go to! :) A quick escape.
7. COOK MORE. I started learning how to cook in 2011. This year, I'm going to learn how to cook more things. :)
8. RUN AT LEAST 10K. I used to be sporty. Used to being the operative word. Last year I tried running. It didn't turn out very well, from not being able to walk properly the next day to only being able to run 1.5K before passing out. I have become a lethargic bum and I need a more active lifestyle. So this year, we're going to make it happen. I'll keep updating as I get closer to that goal. Hahaha...Yup, that's the goal for this year. :)
9. GO TO MASS MORE OFTEN. I grew up in a very strict Catholic household. As a result, my brothers and I rarely make time to go to church now as adults because it always felt like a chose. Although
10. DO SOMETHING I'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE. I am not the type of person who is comfortable stepping out of my comfort-zone. I like things the way they are and barely have the desire to make changes. I am a person not comfortable with change. This year, I'm going to do something I've never done before. I don't know what it is yet, but I'll make sure it's something that I'll be happy to say I did. :)
Don't you just love it when people get a new start every year. When all things from the past year are left behind and an opportunity to make great change is on hand. Here's to a brand-spanking-new 2012! :) May all our dreams and wishes come true! :) Happy New Year everyone!!!
