Become a pro at Photoshop
I bought Photoshop for blogging last year. I thought it would be a breeze to finger out how to do things on it. I was sadly mistaken. This year I am gonna buckle down and actually figure out how to use the damn thing. I want to be able to make pretty graphics too.
Follow Weight Watchers
This year my weight has spiraled out of control. I am not telling you how much out of control but enough that it is affecting my quality of life. I was on Paleo but as I don’t really like meat I fell off the wagon so to speak. Before committing myself to another diet, I researched all of them and came to the conclusion that Weight Watchers was the one I was most likely to stick with. Plus, now they offer one on one coaching on-line so hopefully this will just give me add incentive to stick with it.
Keep up with cleaning my apt
I used to be really messy but in the last year I have discovered that I can not work well in a mess. I see pics on-line of people’s apt and I want to live in a nicely decorated apt also. I have discovered the site Clean Mama and she gives really detailed ways to clean.
Become more involved with blogging
I will post often and leave comments on other blogs. All too often I am a lurker and I really want to change that. I would like to develop friendships with other bloggers and reach out.
Take more pictures
I used to be a picture taking queen. Lately I am noticing that I don’t have a lot of picture with memories and this makes me sad.
Be involved with my friends, both on-line and off line
This goes beyond pressing like on Facebook. I was thinking cards and snail mail and stuff.
Quit smoking
I have been on the patch 4 days. I am reading Allen Carr’s Stop Smoking book. I am halfway through. Many friends have recommended me to try this book as I have failed at a million attempts. I am determined to kick this habit once and for all.
Exercise 3 times a week
I need to get my fitness back up. In the summer I love to do outdoorsy stuff but I can barely walk now without huffing and puffing. I am 34 in a 90 year old body. Time to make some drastic changes.
Deepen my faith
This was the year I almost lost my faith. It is coming back to me bit by bit. I want to be so connected to God that no matter what this world throws at me it will not knock me off kilter like it did last year.
Read 200 books
I say this every year but maybe this is the year I finally do it!
Happy new year! I’m curious about the Stop Smoking book. I’ve been smoke-free for almost five years (thanks to pregnancy) but I would love for my husband to finally finally finally quit.
I don’t have photoshop but I would love to learn lightroom. And ugh–keep the house clean and organized. Wondering if I’ll ever succeed at that one.
