Bandwagon 2009

It seems like this year, people are taking their New Year's resolutions seriously—at least the people in my world. I've decided to jump on the bandwagon, and hopefully use this blog to somehow hold myself accountable for how I need to change this year.

For me, this needs to be a year of discipline in all aspects of my life:

1.) Eating/Exercise... I hate this one. Let's be honest. It seems like everyone tries to make some kind of resolution revolving around weight loss or getting into shape and it normally lasts about a month (if that). This year, I know that I need to take this seriously, for multiple reasons... My plan of action is to eat less, eat healthier, and to work out. The working out part is the part I usually fail. Let's face it, I am athletically impaired. I know this, but I also know that exercise is the key to getting healthy. Lord, give me strength!

2.) Time... I have a lot on my plate, and I am often frustrated with the balancing act; meaning, how do you remain responsible to your commitments and yet manage to stay happy and delve into the things that you really want to delve into without sacrificing something that is truly important? I feel like I need to be more careful with the time I have; more disciplined with how I spend my time.

3.) Priorities... Kind of along the same line with spending my time wisely, I find there are times in my life when I get out-of-whack, for lack of a better term. I push things aside, like my time with God, in order to get homework done, or relax after a long day... I don't want to do that anymore. I want to realign my priorities!

So, this list is not exhaustive, but these three things are truly my top priority this year. How am I doing after day 1 (Monday)? Not too bad... however, the Ohio State game kind of messed up my plans, but the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step... one step down, a lot more steps to go.

You can do it! I, too, jumped on the bandwagon but am not brave enough to post many of them publicly.
