Resolution Solution

Okay, as I promised myself (and anyone who has nothing to better to do at the moment, so is reading this blog...;-)) I have formulated my Official Resolutions for the year 2013.  As someone who is goal oriented, but also who like clean starts, New Years Day is one of my favorite days of the calendar.  It's an arbitrary way to put all the unpleasantries of the year gone by into a semi-official mental box and shelve them so that I can move forward. Sometimes this works, sometimes it's not that tidy, but at least it's a starting point!

First off the Big Goals.  These are the big hopes for the year which are overreaching goals that will take up several weeks or months.


1. Lose 30 lbs. and get back into the shape I was in a year ago, meaning that :
    a. I can jog 4 miles easily, and up to 5 miles on occasion
    b. my RHR is 40-45
    c. I avoiding junk food on most days and drinking adequate water.
2. I will return to updating Xyliatales at least twice a month.
3. I will complete and either seek a publisher for, or self publish and promote the first book in picture book series, Dena and Doodle. 
4. Complete a 1-3-5 year business plan that grows the freelance business.

My daily/ weekly/ monthly goals are as follows:
1. lunch/coffee with a friend at least once a week
2. workout at least 5 times a week
3. weight lifting 2-3x a week
4 positive energy as much as possible- eliminate complaining,
excuses, and focus on gratitude.
                                          5. Sales calls 3x + a week

So there it is.  Pretty straight forward, and not too different from years past, but it's good to type it up and look at it, and then putting out on a blog is an accountability thing too. :)

Another twelve days still left for my Chip In- I still can't believe how quickly the money has been raised.  Thank you again to everyone who has helped out.


Happy New,  Year everyone!  Goodbye to 2012!!!
