New Year's Resolutions

New Year's Resolutions. What do you think when you hear the phrase? I think of all of America signing up for a gym membership and hitting it hardcore for January....then giving up in February through  December. wah wah wah. Generalization, yes, but still, it's still partly true. I love New Year's Resolutions! I think it's great to have a goal to work towards; it motivates me big time. My fiancé, Will, never  made a New Year's Resolution until we started dating. I am happy (and quite proud) to say that he set one the first year we dated, five years ago, and he is still holding on to it! He gave up cracking his knuckles...which he did like a boss. Since then, nothing! Go Willis!!!

So back to resolutions. I have many goals to work towards. Always have. Like I said, it keeps me motivated. My biggest one? WAM Wedding, June 2013. Girl's gotta get her booty back in shape, like WHOA! In addition to getting in shape for a wedding,  I have many other aspects of my life that need some improvement. My friend, Lexi, felt the same way (about her, not about me!). After much discussion about New Year's Resolutions, about setting goals, achieving or not achieving them, Lexi and I decided to take it up a notch. Now, I have done some research on New Year's Resolutions. I found out that by telling someone your resolution, you are more likely to be successful, so we told each other and now I am blogging about it too! Therefore, we have worked that into our 2013 New Year's Resolution Challenge.....

...."Challenge 2013: A Metamorphosis in Baby Steps." That's the name of our 2013 Resolution Challenge-BOO YA! Here's the deal:  we have four areas of our lives that we will be focusing on throughout the year: wellness, finance management, relationships and self. There are twelve months in a calendar year, so we will chose a focus for each month and rotate through three times. For each month, we pick one to two goals, from our uber long goal focus brainstorm list, to work on for the month. Sounds cool, huh? We think so.

First up: wellness.

Bring it on 2013.
