New Year's Resolutions... I guess

I don't really make resolutions because I am horrible at following through. As 2010 ended I thought of the things I would like to improve on in 2011. Two things top my list and I feel that both will make me a better person. One is that I would like to work hard on my personal progress. I've read through the book and I know that the projects in there are things that I should be doing anyway. I want and need to grow closer to my Heavenly Father. I want and need to be a better wife/daughter/sister/friend/yw leader. I want and need to have more confidence in myself. All of these things I can have and be if I will follow through and complete it. So... here is the goal... to complete my personal progress by Dec. 31, 2011. Wish me luck!
My second goal is to lose some weight (It bugs me when people say they just want to be more healthy). I am going to use this as one of my personal progress projects. So far I haven't lost any weight, but I have been getting up in the morning before work (at 5 AM, ugh!) to get on the treadmill. Last week I did this 3 mornings. This week so far I have got up both mornings and I'm incorporating the slim fast diet. We'll see how that goes...... I feel much better when I exercise and drink a lot of water. My body just seems to function better.
I'm hoping that by doing these two things I will find other parts of my life going better. Good luck to all of you with your goals in 2011!
