Hey everyone, today is your last chance to comment or tweet me with your #resolutions progress. 2 random commenters will be chosen to win an ARC of RUN FROM FEAR and a copy of the iTunes playlist that helped inspire me as I wrote.
As for my resolutions (eating more mindfully and lowering the volume on my inner critic), I would give myself a B- on both. While for the most part I’ve made a point to put everything I want to eat on a plate and actually sit down at the table to eat it, I still catch myself picking things off my boys’ plates and walking around the house with food in my hand. And yesterday there was a bit of a cheeto incident at the park…
My inner critic has taken a back seat, but I can’t decide if it’s because I’ve brought her back down to a manageable level, or because I’m just don’t care as much about certain things right now. Hmmm. things to ponder.
Well, there’s a reason why I don’t always make resolutions: Life gets in the way!
I wanted to spend more time with my family! So, I quit my job in december & started working at the family business! I never wanted to do that before ’cause I wanted to make my own life not what my family wanted me to do & all that! But as I said before, life got in the way, bad things happened last year, and decisions had to be made! So, at the begining of January there I am with a new job! How cool, right? Nope. Life gets in the way, again! I fell, hurt my ankle pretty badly & been recovering for the last 3 weeks! I need to start physical therapy some time this week!
It’s not all bad, I’ve been stuck at home recovering, so I HAVE spent A LOT of time with my mom & siblings
I have 2 sisters & a brother, who’s birthday’s coming in february so, we’re putting together a surprise for him! This is special for all of us, cause he was involved in an accident & there were moments we didn’t thought he’d see another birthday! Our very own miracle, u could say
Also, I’ve been working on my goal this year: read 100 books! I had to do something with all my ‘bedrest time’
lol
I started rereading ur books, actually! Love them, Jami! I can’t wait for the next one and I’m excited for Ibarra’s book, also
So, that’s been my year so far!
I’m glad you’re doing good on your resolutions too
give yourself a break, life’s crazy, and unpreditable and we do the best we can ; )
enjoy your writing and the time you spend with your loved ones and your meals ; ) lol
Hope u have a really good year Jami! :*
Oh, Monika, I’m so sorry to hear about your ankle! And yes, life has its way of pounding its way into our lives whether we want it to or not. speedy recovery – I hope your mama is taking very good care of you. Now, back to Ibarra’s book
I did alright. I actually lost two pounds, but I occasionally still snack at night.
Oh Resolutions….Well..I call them GOALS..then I feel better if I fail!!
This year, I will finish my first MS by March 1st, which is also my 30th Birthday..woo hoo, and the release day of Run From Fear!! GREAT DAY!!
I would like to be published this year, so that is my biggest goal for 2012, and If no one wants me by Dec 31st…I self-publish…So I can still meet my goal!!
Trying for a baby also…so…thats been a FUN goal!!
Hope everyone is doing well with their resolutions and just keep believing!!
xoxo
