NEW YEAR, NEW ME!

New Year is a time for reflection and a time for a fresh start.  And with a fresh start comes the opportunity to try a different approach, a different strategy. This time I'm throwing out the resolutions.

Instead of making resolutions (what I want to do), I'm making declarations (WHAT I WILL DO):

5) Try a new sport activity/fitness class each month

I will:

1) Lose 15 lbs by Valentine's Day (Feb. 14th)

2) Lose 25 lbs by Easter (Apr. 5th)

3) Reach goal weight (175 lbs) by Labor Day

4) Finish a marathon

5) Try a different sports activity/fitness class each month

Also, something new for 2015 - a 'Rememberlutions' jar' - probably best described as a mini time capsule for yourself. So I saw a post on Facebook (from buzzfeed.com - Remeberlutions Jars)- It You use any jar and decorate it to your particular style and taste. Each time something good happens in your life (a promotion, a weight loss, a change in your relationship status, etc.), you drop a note or something to commemorate the event in the jar. You shouldn't limit yourself - anything that's important to you should go into the jar. This way you celebrate yourself through the year. Then on the next New Year's Eve, you open the jar and read all the great things that took place in your life over the course of the year,
