Pretending it's January 1

I am always so bad at keeping New Year's Resolutions (who isn't?!?), so I'm thinking I shouldn't put all of that pressure on myself to behave for a WHOLE YEAR. I mean, REALLY! That's a long time! Nobody should be expected to behave for that long! So, without further adieu, here are my July/August Resolutions:

* Be nicer to myself...my head is always full of negative self-talk. I resolve to catch myself and turn whatever I am thinking into a positive affirmation
* Tame the shopping beast...if I can go 45 days without buying anything I don't NEED, I'll be working a miracle
* Do more yoga...at least 2x a week if not more
* Make healthier food choices...specifically, decrease carb intake and increase lean protein and fiber intake; reduce sweets
* Work my booty (and other body parts)...I have an elliptical machine that's becoming a piece of furniture - and an ugly piece at that; I resolve to give that thing a purpose to exist
* Weight train...because cardio training isn't enough

I think that's enough for now. Let's not get TOO overzealous!
