I Resolve...

So did anyone make "New Year's Resolutions?"

I've never liked the term. I think it makes them sound too... I'll-do-it-at-the-beginning-of-the-year
-and-when-February-hits-I'm-done. Know what I mean? I DO think it's good to make some new yearly goals though. Especially since you almost always don't live up to par, in some aspect, the year before. At least that's how I am. I'm realistic though. I only give myself one or two that I know need major attention.

What will mine be for this year?
-- have Family Home Evening on a regular basis
-- get rid of the back-fat

Of course, I do have many other things I want to get done this year, but these are things I haven't yet mastered. And like I said--I'm realistic about this. If I fail--I'd like the list of failure to be short.

  1. Get rid of the back fat is the funniest thing I've ever heard. It's always just "lose wieght" or "get in shape"... but for you to single out back fat makes my day. I made several this year, but the new year doesn't have much to do with it, I usually set all the same goals every 3 months or so!

  2. I don't mind my other fat so much...it's more or less just "curves." But the back-fat isn't pretty. Who wants a curvy back?! My back is a good gage of how the rest of me is doing.

  4. I too have a curvy back :( Its horrible but I think you have a very realistic goal there! I have made several goals, although I am pushing back my Jan 1st for a few more weeks. I dont know if I can really do that, but heck I am an adult!

  5. That is hilarious!!

    My "thing" is that my thighs touch - sooo annoying. Loud too, depending on the outfit.

  6. My issue is the leg thing too!! I guess it runs in the family! I gage how I'm doing by how far I have to spread my legs when I walk, for them not to touch! Being fat is so uncomfortable, compared to not fat.

  7. I've never cared about the legs...probably cuz you can't see them in the bathroom mirror.

  8. I have to walk around like some nerdy cowboy wanna be actor in a really bad western film, with my knees all bent and pointed out... it's like I'm ready to "draw" my gun in a duel.

  9. You girls are hysterical!! Yes thighs for me too..non curdled ones to be exact. My goals always seem to be the same. Personal scripture study always get me, as well as more regular FHE.

    Did I read your message right? Are you really going to be in Nashvegas in May?? That would be rad!

  10. I might be in Mesa the same time you go for your sis-in-law's (?) wedding.

    Although, sometime in the nearish future, we want to hit the midwest. Is Tennessee considered midwest?

  17. Dude, listening to you women talk about your "bodily issues" is making me laugh. I also have some issues. (see my blog)

  18. I love to be a Utard...just stop me if I cross over to Utah-hick.

    I don't know Kelli...I looked at hers through yours Heather. She had a really cute background.

    Having body issues are what keeps us likeable.
