Or will it be two thousand and ten? That's not important. The topic now is new year's resolutions.
I think I've seen about 20 Weight watchers AND nutrisystem commercials within the past hour or so. Granted, I think I battle my weight daily and not just for 2-3 weeks at the beginning of January. So, I really thought and this is what I came up with:
1. Run a 5K by the end of the year. I've always wanted to be a runner and what's the best time besides the present? Plus, I know it's going to be hectic in 2010 with Step 2's and residency stuff. So 12 months to train to run 3 miles should be reasonable
2. Try to eat better on a daily basis. I think I'm one of the "Low GI" food hippies. I see the point of eating things that don't cause blood glucose and insulin spikes. Plus, with my unnatural fear of one day developing diabetes I think it would be good for me to embrace whole wheat and more fruits/veggies. Plus I think "eat better" than "lose 60 lbs" is much more psychologically healthy. Focus on the health, not the scale.
3. Be more of a minimalist. In being american I've grown up around the whole "excess" mindstate. I however really enjoy being more "bare necessities" and whatnot. So I'm going to try to make a conscious effort to only buy what I need and use what I have. Don't confuse this with pack rat. Just more questioning any and all purchases I make.
And with that, I'll see you guys in the next decade. haha.

I've been thinking about resolutions too. Hmmm... I definitely need to quit the spending!
As for your 5k resolution, you can do it. Maybe you should go ahead and pick which one you're going to register for? Nothing like shelling out cash to make you stick with a resolution :)
