New Year Resolutions

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I know today is the 4th day of the New Year, so I'm a tad late, but forgive me. The New Year always brings the absolute rush to make promises and goals, but 88%(I think that was the statistic I heard on the radio, can't be too far off, either way) of the people who make these goals and promises don't actually see them through.

Tonight my mom and I were in Wal-Mart when she made the observation that "Either we're attacked by weight loss books or Southern Comfort foods". She's right too. The top resolution is losing weight and getting in shape. Gyms probably make more money in January than any other month of the year.

Well this year I've decided to make a resolution and stick with it. So here are my goals and resolutions for the year.

1. Lose 40 pounds by the end of April/early May. I'm keepin' my fingers crossed I can accomplish this, even if it is only half of my goal by then. That's better than nothing.
2. Read more this year. Sarah Dessen, Deb Caletti, Susane Colasanti, Stephanie Perkins and many other GenFic or Romance YA writers top my list of books.
3. Get a tablet. Simple, yet difficult. I am super picky.
4. Get back into skating and really move forward with it.
5. Finish Southern Charm, the first draft.
6. Plan and start the sequel to Southern Charm.
7. Get into college. Easy enough, but picking one will be hard.
8. Decide what I want to major in.
9. Decide what I want to do after college.
10. Zach. He is an entire goal by himself. Difficult boy, but I love him dearly.

Well that's my list of goals and resolutions. Some are silly, others normal or reasonable. But all of these are important goals to me.
