1. Lose weight - I gained some weight back during 2011. It's not enough for other people to notice. But I know I did. I let my tight grip on what I've been eating, slide a bit over the year. In the new year, I'm going back to really watching what I eat. When the new year starts, I will be saying goodbye to cookies, doughnuts, ice cream and cornbread yet again. I will not be buying them at the grocery store. If I have any of these items in the house, I can't stop from eating them. My willpower is terrible around them. My husband baked cookies for Christmas, I probably ate half of them. The items I listed make for a fast and quick snack. Instead of reaching for them, I will be grabbing a banana, yogurt or granola bar. Also my mindless snacking has to end. I know it will end if I don't have anything tempting in the house.
2. Continue running - I will keep running as long as I can. I don't plan on setting a number goal to reach in 2012. I just want to keep running and keep myself healthy. I have three big ultras planned for 2012. I want to be sure I'll reach the starting and finishing line in all of them.
3. Take a class - I have wanted to take a class for years. I've been interested in learning a new language, cake decorating and flower arranging. What has stopped me from enrolling in a class, is work. I work a lot at night. That is when most of the classes take place. I found a website where you can take classes online. You have up to six months to complete them and it is self paced. I think this is the solution I have been looking for. No more excuses. I can learn something new.
4. Shoot more photos for myself - This item is on my list every year. It will continue to be on it until I do it. Like I said in January, I want to photograph the things that interest me: cemeteries, cemetery statues, graffiti, decaying structures and abandoned houses/industry. I must do this.
