Walk on the treadmill each day till it warms up, then walk outside for an hour each day
Get my projects finished in a timely manner

 I don't really make resolutions cuz I find they don't ever do me any good. But I do want to make sure that I get on my Wii Fit as much as possible. I'm hoping to lose about 15 - 20 pounds and figure it should be a fun way to do this!
But that's about it for me, the rest will come and go as they please.

 I really haven't thought too much about them yet...and no, 'stop procrastinating' is NOT one of them!   It's too much a part of who I am! lol

 Exercise more, scrap more, use my time more efficiently and clean the garage.

 I really don't do resolutions....

 ok here are mine so far
- eat less sweets
- be better with time (I use to be so good)
- keep house more organized
- get garage cleaned out (been there almost 3 years and it still have junk the other owners were nice enough to leave me)
- work hard on my finances
and - work out more

 Scrap more
Exercise more
Do more "fun" things with my kids
Redecorate one room in the house this year (I'll stick to one, and then will feel like I have done something)
Put more energy into my friendships

 Lose weight, of course and be more organized.

 only two:  i have got to workout again and cook healthier foods.
 ok, maybe three... scrap more old photos instead of shopping!!

Make myself a convenient work space in the living room so I can scrap more. I really don't like doing the actual scrapping in my scrap room.
Continue to lose some more weight.
Get the house more organized so that I can feel I have more time to devote to my scrapbooking without feeling like having to do something in the house all the time.
Clean out my clothes closet and get rid of what I don't wear. 

Hadn't thought about it yet, but these are my current goals which I suppose I could call resolutions...

 1. Do well in school - concentrate and don't make excuses not to do the work. (I'm not a good student and I know it)
 2. Eat healthier foods, better yet learn to make those healthier foods in small portions instead of using boxes, cans and frozen foods
 3. Plan shopping for groceries with a goal of no waste (this has been a challenge since I live alone and recently starting cooking again but I'm getting better at buying only what I need) 
 4. Take at least one cooking class - even a one-nighter from community ed will do
 5. Exercise - any at all is better than I do now
 6. Start a container garden
 7. Get up to date on backing up my photos. Even if there is no time to scrap while in school, the photos must be protected - sitting on the memory card in the camera is not considered "protected"

I read something that most New Year's resolutions are discarded by Jan. 10!!  Isn't that crazy.

Well anyway, here's mine:   make an ABC book for my DD, scrap my stash more, blog more, be healthy, and finish 100 layouts, work on Elsie's 52 Scrapper's Challenges book (one challenge per week).

Good luck to everyone!  The New Year is always a nice time for a clean start!  :)

 1.  Cooking at least three real meals (not out of the box) each week
 2.  Loving, playing, and laughing with my dh and boys and less time saying no and getting frustrated with them
 3.  Getting rid of my anti-social tendencies by talking to at least one person (outside of my immediate family) a day
 4.  Keeping a reading/writing journal
 5.  Exercising more frequently

 I am really lousy at keeping New Year's Resolutions. 

What I'd like to work on is

1.  getting back into our regular walk/bike routine each day

2. lose those pesky 25lbs.

3.  stress less over petty things and dive deeper into living my great life

 Same resolution as always:  I resolve to make no resolutions.

 I don't make resolutions, but have ideas of accomplishments I'd like to make and if they happen I'm thrilled.

 I don't really make any and that way when December comes around I am not mad at myself for not having any self control.
