Resolutions

becomingkateEvery year I try to do my resolutions early so I don't get caught up in the hype of the whole New Year's resolutions thing, because we all know most people abandon those by March.
So here are the resolutions I'll be starting immediately.
1. Try to eat more natural food. I always bounce between which of the lesser of two evils I can handle better: eating well or exercise. I thought I was really into the treadmill again, with the zombies, run! app and everything, but I'm not. So I'm going to try baby steps of eating better. At least one meal a day, I'm going to try to have all natural food. I don't mean organic, or non-GMO, that's a little lofty right now. I just mean good ol' real food. Meat, fish, beans, cheese, fruit and veggies. Today I had beans, brown rice and some grated Jack cheese. The beans were cooked in taco seasoning and the rice was cooked in chicken broth. It may have been high in sodium but it was mostly natural. Like I said, baby steps. It shouldn't be that hard, but I get lazy about shopping. I love fish but you have to buy it every other day for it to be any good.
2. Try, TRY, to be more patient with my son.
3. Ditto with my husband. Yes it's difficult when he has the same communication skills as our 5 year old. But I try.
4. Be true to myself and keep plugging away at things I enjoy doing. If I keep trying, one day I'll find something that is both interesting and lucrative.
5. Speak my mind more often. I used to be really quiet because I thought people would hate my ideas or that I'd get backlash for some of the things I believe. Through online communities and social media I've opened my mouth about things I care about and found that some people actually agree with me! And that my true friends have my back, even if they don't agree with me.
Well that's about it for now. I encourage people to get their resolutions at least figured out before new year's eve. It really helps if you don't set that date of Dec. 31 to start your goals. It's never too early or too late to get started.
