I know people tend to make these overwhelmingly obscene new years eve resolutions and over indulge themselves on trying to take that one "good first step forward"... and frankly... it's kind of annoying. With that being said, I purposely took the first week of January as a write-off. The gym is a perfect example of this. It's like the first year of University. Everyone punctually attends their classes wide-eyed and ready to learn (or ready to work out, lose weight), but by week 2 and 3... the sparkle and new-ness has faded and people continue on with mundane little lives feeling like they've accomplished something and they'll "try again next year." The point I'm trying to make here is that, like the street's on the first year of University, the gym is a nightmare the first week of January...
This year I didn't take that approach. Like I said, I wrote the whole first week of January off. Don't get me wrong, my job did weigh me down a bit so I didn't exactly get to "relax" ... I mean.. everyone has to catch up from the holidays right? However, I did make some interesting resolutions that I haven't been able to iron out the details for, but that's why the year is so long right?
Some old habit's will need to die, hard... and some even older habit's will have to kick it into high gear this year. When and where that will take place, I haven't decided. Maybe I should aspire to be a bit more organized with my goals? But then again, 'formal goals' freak me out.
I'll have to do it without Anca this year. Which makes me really sad. I justified my sadness though. She's only in Korea for a year, and she's doing a wonderful thing for herself. So it makes me happy. Every day I hear from her is exciting. It's like watching a really good TV series and you can't wait for next week's episode! I think it'll be a good year for us.
It's a little far fetched at this point, but I've aspired to travel this year. I didn't last year and it drove me up the walls. I enjoy my little life I've made here, my little friends, my little apartment, my little adventures, but sometimes you need to go big and crazy. I was hoping my travel plan's would be set in place a lot sooner rather than later, but this might turn out to be a next "fall" thing at the rate I'm going.
Regardless, it's week 2 of the new year and I still feel pretty good. Which puts me ahead of about 80% of the population who probably gave up after the first week. Well my gym was pretty empty yesterday so it just goes to show ya.....
Stay Fabulous xo
