It’s New Years y’all!!!!
Can you believe it?? 2012. I always make New Year’s Eve a HUGE event in my mind. I picture myself in a fully sequined glitter gown toasting and ringing in the New Year at a beautiful party. Reality: I’m on the couch at my sisters, scrambling to find a champagne flute in the cabinet to fill with sparkling cider while my brother almost lights himself on fire with bottle rockets in the backyard. Nonetheless, I’m grateful for another year and happy to have a wonderful family to spend it with.
So I bet you don’t have to guess what’s coming next...RESOLUTIONS! I have made a list of “goals” every year since I was about 12. They come from my bucket list. I tape it to the inside of my planner, and I try to make them attainable. Usually by the end of the year I accomplish most of the things on my list. I guess that is a benefit to being realistic when I make them. I try not to be too dramatic (ie: LOSE 100 POUNDS!)
So without further ado...here they are...Abby’s 2012 Resolutions:
Just a few little things. Maybe I will add to it as the year goes, we will see. I basically put these on my blog to keep me accountable, so if you don’t see me running in Beach to Bay leave me a comment in all caps talking about how ashamed you are. You are responsible for my destiny. Hahaha...too dramatic? Maybe. But I think it helps to list these and put them out in cyberspace. It helps me feel motivated at the very least. That counts for something doesn’t it?

So without further ado...here they are...Abby’s 2012 Resolutions:
- Continue my diet plan and lose about 10 more pounds (running total: 21 pounds lost since June!)
- Continue working on my cooking. Buy a good cookbook and cook everything in it. Learn to make Aunt Tinker’s rolls.
- Run in a marathon of some kind (Beach to Bay – May 19th). This means I will need to get back on my running schedule. I’ve been slacking.
- Continue working on being debt free (update: both credit cards are GONE and cut up; truck should be paid off in April. Yay!)
- Get Braces (yep, I’m going to be adult braces girl. In other news, I’m allergic to cats. This is good because I can’t become a cat lady. This is bad because I’m going to have braces AND allergies. Attractive, I know.)
- Start saving for retirement (after truck is paid off)
- Own a great camera
- Hike up a mountain/visit Yellowstone National Park (hoping to accomplish both of these while visiting my sister and bro-in-law in Utah!)
- Spend more time with Jesus. Focus on reading a specific chapter of the Bible for a few weeks at a time. Learn more Scripture rather than just reading it!

Can I please hike that mountain with you/visit yellowstone???
PLEASEEEE.
like seriously. PLEASE!
i love your goals!!!
Okay so my schedule is pretty random and I'm all over TX and occasionally in other states...however, if you decide to do something other than beach to bay (where you don't need a team, but run as individuals)...I would definitely consider running with you!!!! I ran a half-marathon in October and pretty much haven't run since. Just not fun by yourself.
