- Run a triathlon; don't die.
- Don't gain weight. Yep, you read that right. I, in a bold and daring act of apathy, have vowed to give up the dream of fitting into the pile of pre-children pants in my closet. Instead, I will simply focus on maintaining. I mean, if I end up dropping a few pounds, then yay for me. But that is not the goal. The goal is to quit spending so much time thinking about me and how I look and find better things to do. Like not dying in a triathlon.
- Find my true love. Sure, my husband is practically perfect in every way, but according to the numerous emails I've been receiving from Match.com, my soul mate, the one man I am destined to be with, is still out there, presumably searching for me. So I'm going to find him, tell him I'm taken, and ask him nicely to delete his profile because I really, really, really hate junk email. I'll even bake him a pan of brownies to sooth his aching soul, if need be. (Hey, I never said I was going to marry the guy - just find him.)
- Learn to make a decent quiche. Adam says I'm already there, but I'm a perfectionist. Quiche just aren't my forte. Yet.
P.S. I've decided to give my workout-progress widget the axe. It's too hard to remember to update it. I really have been good, though. It's a pity I can't say the same for my three-month-old elliptical, which seems to have eighty-three things wrong with it. The tech guy, with whom I've become very close on account of my nagging him at every possible chance, says a new console will cure all of my ills. We'll see...

Good for you for making it 5 months on the no fast food thing though--even if you're eating it again I bet it's less often than it used to be, right? So it's still been a good thing. :)
I think maintaining weight is a fair goal. I'm trying to not look at the scale, but I am trying to re-work the shape of my middle at least...the post-pregnancy bulge is a little more than what I want to keep long-term. :)
In a very odd-twist of normalcy, I'm probly doing a triathlon too! I should mention that I don't know how to swim.
I made a quiche on New Year's Eve that was so heavenly. It was even better the next day. I really wished I had made two. Do you have a good recipe? Do you want to try mine? (Do I want to try yours?)
Seriously, I think giving up fast food must be MUCH easier than a triathlon. But, that's just me, I guess.
And, in a world where resolutions are broken by February 17 (I just read that statistic somewhere), I think 5 months is pretty darn good!
When you get old and gray (like me) you'll look at pics of yourself now and wonder why you even thought for one second that you needed to lose weight. Maintaining sounds like an excellent idea!
Hm. My true love is apparently using eHarmony. I think that means he's more serious about a real relationship than your true love. I wonder if that means it will be harder for me to get him to delete his profile.
my only resolution is to blog a little more regularly. funny... last year it was to cut back on blogging a little. ahhh, the strange twists life takes :)
I think the "don't gain weight" is one I might have to steal... because as much as I need to lose a few... I also need to be realistic :)
I also refuse to set weight as a goal...I'm scared of the triathalon though...maybe next year. I'm thinking of picking up a book for myself this year...maybe something more than what the kids read, or the Book of Mormon...that's a given. I'm hoping also to get rid of Junk email...I've found Mr. Right. He's waiting for me up in my bed :) hopefully like I'm expecting....snoring :) lol...I do have a quiche recipe you could have a stab at. We liked it. We just don't do quiches very often. Good luck with your new year resolutions :) As for me, I'm keeping mine a secret LOL mine are all at arms reach, I don't want to set myself up for failure.
I am trying to re-work the shape of my middle at least..

I love the Pioneer Woman's quiche. Foolproof.
On the other hand, it won't help you maintain ANYTHING ...
Maintaining weight = good thing. Unless you weigh approximately the same as a hippo who is on the brink of delivering a baby hippo into the world.
So I guess that puts me in the still needs to lose weight category. Sigh.
I've tried not to set too many resolutions. They are perfect for being broken. I've made some quiet promises to myself. I'll see how that goes.
Congratulations on the maintain-weight goal: that's very wise! Between training for a triathlon and running after 2 kids, you'll have no problem, and will be looking svelte by this time next year (or at least by end of summer -- AK winters have a way of getting even to us non-hibernaters...)
You are so wonderful to think about your soul mate's happiness like that. And brownies too? No wonder he is still looking for you.
I forgot how much you make me laugh when reading your posts. Back into the world of blogging. Kind of....
If I was really going to be myself here, I would say oh S...H.... BUT, I am going to show restraint and say I kinda blew it. Went through my allowed readers on my blog and I think, not sure... but I think I took you out.
PLEASE send me a note at ctmomof5@gmail.com with your gmail email.
oh yeah, you better take out your porn link. (your long comment left by mister anonymous) Less people think you have another job on the side. JUST KIDDING! sorta.
