Your NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

[Jack Shephard]

I used to work at a suit store, but no more. I was around 260. Reason I say around is that I didn't weigh until the 2nd week I was working out and I figured I had dropped 2 lbs by then cause first time I weighed I was 258. Now I weight about 210...meant to say lost 50 lbs earlier instead of 60....but I have gained quite abit of muscle and going from 42 waist to 34 is a big change. I was a 46 suit coat, but now wear a 44 so I have lost a little up top weight but only dropping 1 coat size and losing 50 lbs is good cause it means I have gained muscle.

Of course I want to retire - - I was planning on retire by the time I was 60 while I was married - - NOW that has changed. I have to support myself, so since my 401(k) is in the tank right now I don't see me being able to retire for a long, long time.

Just because you retire doesn't mean you sit around doing nothing! You do things you WANT to do!

So far...(Well, I'm already working on them--not waiting till Jan!), mine are:

*Get adequate rest. (8 hours a night would be GREAT)
*Take my vitamins
*Drink more water
*Organize my kitchen
*Organize my schedule, eliminate excessive commitments
*Lose 30 lbs. next year. (I want to be a size 10 again!!!!)
*Have my first checkup since 2002. (That's TERRIBLE!!!)

I've taken a break from the music department (at least the director's side of it) for the year (2009) (That was a HARD decision!) or until I'm ready to pick it back up, removed myself from the church Building (Program) Committee, and Jeff and I are working on a family schedule that we'll hopefully have in place by next week that will make all of our lives easier.

Right now I go to bed with too many things undone--because my day runs out before my To Do List does, so I'm trying to pare everything down to the bare minimum.

I guess my overall goals are:

*Focus on my health.
*Organize my schedule.

Lol - - I can't downsize anymore than I have.

I do know this about myself--if I make a resolution, I have to start making a plan of attack for today! If I put it off till the 1st, or to a Monday morning, or whenever--I'll never do it.
