My husband and I have made it a habit to make specific New Years Resolutions every single year. We like to break our goals into 4 categories.
1. Faith
2. Family
3. Fitness
4. Finance
This way we cover all of the areas that are important to us. Resolutions are hard to keep. But that is the only way we really get
better. I hope that you learned something from 2008 because isn’t that what life is all about? Learning from our triumphs and mistakes. Making the life changes that are necessary to grow and change into something better than we were before.
Here at burbmom.net, we want to encourage you to sit down and make some goals for 2009. And we want you to share them with us…so we can help you get there. We also want to reward you for your goal-setting! Yes, I said REWARD….

I’m going to try to keep my kitchen floor cleaner. I just hate it when my floor “crunches”. Where did all of these cracker crumbs come from…and why in the world is it so sticky????
I resolve to read the Bible through in a year. NEver done it before and I can’t wait to read it all.
I’m going to finally get down to my goal weight!
Excerise class 3x a week with my neighbors!
Mine has to do with the DOODLE, of course. I’m gonna walk my Labradoodle more. Seriously Bear needs to walk. So far I’ve pretty much stuck to it- which I am super excited about because after my last doctor’s appointment, well let’s just say I gasped at how much weight you can gain after a cookie only diet from Halloween to Christmas. Who knew???
Just saw this one: Only drinks sodas at the movies. Too many empty calories. Hope this doesn’t drive me to see more movies.
2009 resolution: i’m reading the new testamant, psalms and proverbs this year.
It’s always my new years resolution to lose weight. Last year I lost some weight and this year I want to lose some more. Let’s hope I succeed.
One goal for 2009 (fits into the “fitness” category)…
“Sodas are for the cinema.”
I don’t have many resolutions this year. I have made it a goal to be the ultimate hardbody by the time I turn 30 on Nov. 30th but that’s not a resolution. That’s a goal I have been working on already. My real resolutions are as follows:
1.) Speak my mind more often. I have been a people pleaser my entire life and have a horrible habit of keeping quiet so as not to offend anyone or be afraid that something I might say would make someone not like me. No more. I’m going to speak my mind even if it gets me in trouble at times.
2.) Let go and let God. I’ll admit that I’m in need of a makeover where my relationship with God is concerned. No, I need an overhaul. I am sorry to say that I’m the world’s worst about thinking that I can do everything on my own and that God is a mere afterthought. Sure, I run to God in times of trouble and fear, but I have NEVER ONCE in my adult life gone to Him ‘just because.’ I am only one person, I do not have all the answers, and I cannot do everything on my own. I have a hard time accepting this and really, really need to work on just being still and knowing that God already has a plan for me.
The more I keep these things in mind, the more I’m looking forward to what 2009 holds for me.
