"Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right."-- Oprah Winfrey
I have a feeling that 2012 is going to be a VERY interesting year for me. I am also taking my New Year's resolutions very seriously this year because I have a new role in life - I'm a Mom!
A lot of people despise the idea of creating New Year's resolutions because they know they are just going to break them and become even more discouraged than before.
But, I am completely FOR resolutions at the beginning of every year. No one is perfect and everyone has room to grow, whether it's with your weight, your body image, the way you dress, how much time you spend with your family, at work, at the gym, etc...it's always nice to strive to be something better. As a Mom and a teacher, I have to be a role model and show that working hard to be your better self is important for self-growth. Why be complacent? We're here on this Earth for a purpose, why not enjoy life while you're trying to figure that out?!
As I will be turning 29 one month from today - I am realizing that I'm in my last year of my twenties...I'm having quite a deja vu moment. In college, I reached my senior year and realized that I had worked so hard for three years and lost that true college experience because all I did was school. I hit my last year and did not want to look back and regret all of the lost time...so I lived it up and truly enjoyed life. As I hit my 29th year of life, I want to do the same. I don't want to look back on my twenties and see that I was always so self-conscious, never really felt good about myself, was always worried about what others thought of me, and allowed the past to create my future. Well...no more!

So, here goes my list of resolutions for 2012. I foresee MANY HUGE changes in my life and I'm more than ready for these changes.
Resolutions (in no particular order):
*Lose the rest of my baby weight and then some. I want to finally be at a weight where I am proud of the way I look. (I want to feel like a Hot Mom) ;)
*Once my body is back, I want a wardrobe makeover. Clothes, both professional and personal, that make me walk tall and smoothly transition into my 30's.
*Be a hands-on Mom. I know that I'm a working Mom, and I am proud of that. I think it will only show my son that I am passionate about what I do and I have a strong work-ethic. But, I'm not going to come home and complain that I am tired. I will spend time with my son as he grows so much in this precious first year of life. I vow to always make time for you, Preston!
*Be a better wife.
*Learn to cook...usually I only eat in the kitchen ;)
*Pick up Photography as hobby.
*And finally, not to let the little things get to me. Relax more, life always works out in the end.

Whew! If you made it this far, I salute you!
But, don't be afraid to make resolutions, people, you may just surprise yourself this time!!

I'm laughing so hard right now! We're so on the opposite end of the resolution dilemma! Of course being much older than you, I guess that makes a difference! I wish you luck, but it sounds like you've got it all under control!
You ARE a hot mom!! :) Kudos to your list - you've inspired me to make one too :)
