happy 2006
My resolutions for the new year:1. Lose 5 lbs by March 1, and 10 by the summer.
My weight crept up a bit in the fall, and I got a bit of a shock when I stepped on the scale for the first time in 3 months! I'm a healthy weight anyway, so it's really gonna come down to eating better (less sweets) and exercising more. Motivation is my biggest problem, however, which leads me to:
2. Gym time: 2x a week by March 1, 3x a week after that.
I am not kidding when I say that I spend more time debating whether I feel like going to the gym than I actually do in
a gym. We have a "fitness room" in our complex, and we live in a pretty fitness-oriented community (bike trails, nature walks, a bigger gym/indoor pool for the homeowners that we tenants get passes to), so I really have no excuse whatsoever to get off my duff and be active!
Except when I get home, it's dark... ;)
3. Keep in touch with my friends!
I go thru antisocial periods like anyone else does, but I can see why once people get married they drop out of sight: now that I have a captive audience, it's far easier to bore my husband to death as I chatter away than taking the initiative to email or call someone. And most of my close friends do not live close by, so I don't just run into them anymore.
4. Blog more.
That way when I'm lax on number 3, y'all can still get your fill of all things Deb here :)
5. Create at least 1 "fridge-worthy" artwork each month.
On the HOW forum there is a frequent thread called the HOWie Fridge... basically a place to post your recent work free of critique. I'm prohibited somewhat from posting work-work b/c of contract issues (clients have requested mock-ups, then paid but taken them elsewhere to be fabricated), and I don't do nearly enough sketching, especially indepth sketching or painting, to post. That's going to change!

Echo! Excellent set of resolutions. I think RanMan has a whole connection of weight-loss Howies you could join up with - did he tell you this?
