It's that time of year -- when we make promises to ourselves to improve our looks and our outlooks.
I stopped making resolutions years ago. Now I have goals. I did fairly well in 2006 -- the biggie I missed was not losing 20 pounds -- I think I gained 40. And I accomplished a lot of things that weren't on my list of goals, so I feel pretty good about that. Today, I put together my list of goals for 2007, which is THE YEAR OF MOLLY.
Family traditions are changing this year, too. I thought we had one more year before Y-Chromo decided he'd rather be with friends than family on New Year's Eve, but I was wrong. He'll be at a movie marathon over-nighter on New Year's Eve. So it will be just me, TV Stevie, and X-Chromo watching the ball drop. I don't even know if we can play games with only three of us -- our favorite Balderdash is definitely out. I loaded up on junk food -- frozen cheese sticks, dips, dogs-in-a-blanket, chips, cheeses, crackers. My last hurrah before I face that lose-40-pounds goal.
Other goals for 2007 include finish writing a particular book, debt management, finding a dream job, and a 40-day on-line program about positive thinking called Destination Transformation that my friend Maggie Shayne told me about.
So I have three things to eliminate this year: weight; debt; negative thinking.
What are you trying to shed?

The hubby and I have a tradition of getting different kinds of frozen junk food, a bottle of bubbly and bringing in the New Year at home with our own little party. The celebration with the kids and hubby you describe gives me hope that it is something we'll continue once we get little ones. Too bad they don't stay little, huh... I hope Y-Chromo had fun at the movies. Happy New Year!
