New Year Same Resolution

body
It has been awhile since my last entry and that is because 1) I’m a lazy person who doesn’t like to write even though for a few years I attempted to be a writer 2) work has gotten very weird with what websites they will and will not allow us to use 3) Again, lazy.
Today I am half a pound down from December 15th, but what that really means is that I am four pounds lighter than I was December 31st when I either hosted or attended 9 parties in less than two weeks, and I’m good but I folded under that much temptation. So here I am almost two weeks into 2012 going back to the gym 4 times a week and eating right almost every day and almost every meal.
My goal for 2012 is simple. Just continue. Continue to go to the gym every other day and do more on weekends. Eat well and stay under or near 1,600 calories a day. That, more than nutrisystem, has really helped the weight loss. Last year I went down 60 pounds and 4 sizes. The goal this year is to go down another 6 sizes, to where I am near the ultimate goal. I have all year to do this so I am rather confident that I can accomplish this.
Besides dieting, other goals are to get creative with jewelry and try to list new items. Also to take pics of all jewelry so that I have a uniform shop. I’d like to get near to 2,000 sales this year on my shop, which is around 700 sales for the year. Possible, but not probable.
Another fun goal is to hang out more with my husband. I am very lucky and really like my husband so this will not be a chore, it’s the finding time that will be tricky. Besides working 60+ hours a week he has a new hobby and I don’t begrudge him a bit with it, but we both look forward to working on hobbies and need to either build a really big office for his toy and my hobby or retire, and since we’re in our 30’s that doesn’t sound like a possibility.
So, nutshell. Keep working out and watching what I eat but not fixating on it to the point where it becomes drudgery and I fall off the bandwagon and into a doughnut shop, maintain jewelry, and hang out with my favorite person. I think I will be able to keep these goals.
