New Years Resolutions

Christmas is over, and immediately you start hearing about New Year's resolutions. You don't really get much time to think about it. Everyone usually falls back on the same generic few: lose weight, make more money, eat better, etc. But, they don't really think about how to achieve their goals, and usually fail.

This year, I want to do something different. I am choosing one resolution, and I am going to plan out how to do it. As I am about 6 months pregnant, my goal is to get back into shape after I am cleared to work out again (around June/July). Full disclosure: so far I've gained about 20 pounds, which isn't so bad to most people, but I only gained 18 with my first child, and it came off immediately. So, I'm a little nervous about this time!

My plan is to start P90X3 or Turbofire as soon as I am cleared. In the next week, I will come up with a stricter plan. Some issues I will possibly face are: not being cleared for longer (due to complications), not being in control of my meals (I live in a household where I no longer cook), and not having time or space to work out (again, not my house, and baby stuff will most likely take up a lot of room lol). Some ways to overcome these are to make sure I start as soon as I am cleared (while being safe), eating smaller portions or fitting in at least one healthy meal per day, and using the space I have to the fullest.

I have more small goals for this year, but this is my big one. What are some of your resolutions, and how to you plan on reaching them?
