I’m not a big one for resolutions. Something about the word rubs me the wrong way and makes it feel like it can be tossed aside, since so many people do that come February 1. On that note, I usually make goals so that I can stick to them and watch my progress. Here are a few I’ve made for 2012. I’ve already started on most of these and I’m looking forward to seeing how they go as the year progresses. 

Touch my toes - I have never been able to do this. I am a shameful foot away from actually touching my toes. A trainer last year showed me some moves to help but I fell off on doing them. I’m thinking now I could try doing them in the morning at work while my tea steeps. We’ll see how this goes.

Record my workouts - I started doing this last year but fell off. Fortunately dailymile now has an unofficial app so I’m using it to help. This is a great way to stay accountable as well as a way to see if I’ve ignored certain workouts.

Make workout dates with friends - all of my friends workout. Though they may not all love it, they all do it. We usually get together for food or drinks but I think we could kill two birds with one stone (and save money) by getting together for workouts. 

Order from seamless less - This has become a crutch for B and me. Whenever we are hungry we fire up the computer and order dinner from seamless. It’s an expensive habit and even if we order healthy foods, we can’t be sure of the amount of salt or butter they are putting on the food. For financial and health reasons, we’ll be cooking food more and ordering from seamless less. (allowing ourselves once a week)

Try a new class every season - There are a few classes at Equinox I’ve been hoping to try but can’t get up the courage. This is the year! To keep this goal more attainable so I don’t get frustrated, I’ve challenged myself to do one class in winter, spring, summer and fall. This way, if I try more than 4 classes,  I’ll be ahead of the game!

Try new seasonal fruits and vegetables - I have my staples of fruits and vegetables I love, but why not try new ones? To try them at their tastiest and save the environment, I’m only going to try new fruits and vegetables when they are in season.

Do yoga and spinning at least once each week - Keeping these classes on my schedule will force me to cross-train while also keeping me in top condition for them.
