I've always strayed away from making resolutions for a new year. I'm not certain whether it's my own mind doing this, or something centered around the idea of resolutions-- but I feel like they're designed to be something you have to do right away, as soon as it becomes the new year and if you slip up, that means you've failed.
Well, this year, I am going to make a list of goals I intend to complete by the end of 2012. I'm not going to rush myself and I'm not going to get angry at myself if by February, I decide I'm done with working out everyday and want to take a break. I'll be checking them off as I go and although some of these are pretty big goals... I intend to achieve all of them. I'm the most determined person I know :)
