RESOLUTIONS.
I am doing this. Seriously.
1. I am going to deal with my body. I am going to get my Albuquerque body back. I have had enough of being the sad-sack chick who's all self-conscious because of creeping poundage. I'm gonna stop eating junk and find a reasonable form of cardio exercise I'll stick to. Do-ability: good. It's really a matter of about 10 visual pounds; I don't know how many actual pounds, but regardless, I want results in how I look and feel, not a number on a scale.
2. I am going to read more. I used to read for pleasure all the time, and these days I'm lucky if I can find room for about two hours a week. Seriously putting a dent in my reading time, and kind of limiting me to flimsy trash that I can pick up whenever I have the time. Even if it's only 20 minutes a night, I need to make the time. Do-ability: Um. Doubtful, but I promise to try. I might splurge on a Kindle to aid me in this endeavor, even over my antediluvian protests of "but it doesn't smell like a book!"
3. I am going to write letters. Real letters. The ones that go in the mail. Do-ability: probably wishful thinking, but I'll give it the old college try.
4. I am going to stop biting my nails. SERIOUSLY, I AM NOT FIVE YEARS OLD. Do-ability: fair to middling. Better if I force myself to paint my nails, which I loathe to do.
5. I am going to wear cute underwear. What's the point in getting my ABQ body back if I can't wiggle around the house in satin and lace? Do-ability: Exxxxxcellent. But oh, the money I could spend. Honestly, I really could develop a crippling lingerie habit that would make Belle de Jour ache with envy if only I had the cashflow.
