One Twenty Five

It had to happen, a weight loss blog just wouldn’t be an adequant weight loss blog if there wasn’t the cliche’ post about the dreaded, yet-oh-so-very-predictable New Years Eve Resolutions.

New Years Resolution #1: Lose Weight.

You see! I told you it was predictable.

I don’t like thinking of my goals as New Year’s Resolutions because let’s be honest, they’re day-to-day / life-in-general resolutions, but as this is a weight loss blog, and it is nice to set things in stone, may I present to you my 2010 New Year’s Resolutions:

• Lose Weight: weigh One Hundred and Twenty Five Pounds (or the weight where I sit comfortably and feel good) - FOLLOW UP: FAIL
  
• Complete a Marathon: Chicago 2010  - FOLLOW UP: WIN
  
• Wear a bikini - FOLLOW UP: FAIL
  
• I absolutely refuse to say, “get a boyfriend” as one of my resolutions, because umm holy shit, depressing much? but I do want to be comfortable enough with myself to, oh I donno, suppose Prince Charming rode his stallion right on by, I would be able to let myself be whisked up and taken far, far away… because right now? I would be the shittiest of shitty girlfriends EVER, (umm no, no you are most certainly not allowed to touch me there. or there. or there.) - FOLLOW UP: 1/2 WIN
  
• Learn to knit - FOLLOW UP: WIN
  
• Budget. This is HUGE as I’ve been living as if I was a millionaire lately. I am not. I need to pay off my loan!! (It started at $34,000, today it sits at $4,000) - FOLLOW UP: WIN
  
• Finish my financial courses for work (eww options, derivatives, stocks oh my!) - FOLLOW UP: WIN
  
• Continue to blog. Sometimes I don’t feel like blogging, even then I must blog, keep records, hold myself accountable… as last time I stopped blogging? I gained 8 pounds.  - FOLLOW UP: WIN
  
• Choose my next city to move to! I’m thinking Sydney, Australia!! (Sorry NYC, apparently I’m not cool enough to live there or have the valid green card and therefore may or may not be a terrorist).  - FOLLOW UP: WIN (but this is TOP secret!!)
  
• Keep up with emails, fb messages and twitter (omigsh i’m so bad at twitter)- FOLLOW UP: FAIL
  
• Be Fabulous! FOLLOW UP: 1/2 WIN

All simple. All attainable. My motto for 2010? Just Do It. And she did.
