Making and following New Year’s resolutions

January 3, 2012 By Courtney

I can’t remember a time when I made New Year’s resolutions. I’m a big list maker, but for some reason I never got into making resolutions each January. Although this year it might be a little different.

I want to make a list of things I hope to do in the new year, rather than things I need to quit.

– Walk my dog, Riley more. Since having Chloé I’ve been taking him out for a spin less. While Riley and I play all day, I feel that for his health, it’s definitely a good idea.

– Return to dance. I’m on the hunt right now for some hip-hop classes in my area for adults. I would LOVE it if I could dance one day a week!

– Read more. Right now, I read whenever I can. Sometimes it’s once a day, sometimes it’s every few days. I find reading is a great relaxation tool, and I want to commit to doing it more.

– Experiment more in the kitchen. I feel like I’ve fallen into a rut where I’m not cooking up anything new. I get two cooking magazines in a month, and my goal is to cook at least one thing from each them.

These hopes aren’t world-changing, but I think they are positive, and can definitely add a new twist to my daily/weekly routine.

Do you make resolutions? And if so, do you keep them?
