Help for achieving New Years resolutions and 2010 goals!

I have been working on my New Years resolutions and goals for 2010 and this year I have sought out extra support for making them. I have been reading tons of articles on how to set reasonable goals and how to stay motivated to achieve them.

Since many of us set New Years resolutions I thought it might be helpful to post them here for others to benefit from. Good luck this year! I will be posting my progress as it goes along and I hope to hear about yours too!

Thinspo for 2010

Since I haven't posted any thinspo in a while I thought I would post a few of my inspiration pictures for my 2010 weight loss and beauty goals. I really all about legs at the moment. "Fawne legs" as my friend calls them; the ones that don't touch in the middle. Enjoy.

"It'sss Thaaat...Time of year..."

So it has been a while since I've posted. Here's the month of December in a nutshell:

- Had my choir concert and received a school credit for the course
- Wrote my stats and music finals...bombed one, aced the latter, but did really well on my overall marks
- Began Dialectical Behaviour Therapy which will continue for 5 more months
- Mood has been very stable
- Came home from school for Christmas on the 20th
- Fulfilled Christmas traditions: Christmas Eve and a million perogies at Grandma's, Christmas morning presents and steak and egg breakfast with Aunt and Uncle and then Christmas day dinner with Turkey and all the fixins at Aunt and Uncle's ( I am perma-stuffed)
- Santa was very good to me...everything I asked for I got! :)

One thing I got that is excellent is a recipe book called "Hungry Girl: 200 under 200", which is 200 recipes under 200 calories. I have looked at most of it and it was definitely a good gift to ask for. I know I will get a lot of use out of it in the new year. Now I want the first book that is all recipes by Hungry Girl.

Now I have a week until I go back to school. Have plans to get together with a few friends while I'm home and then going back to School for New Years.

Now I am reevaluating previous goals I have set and I am finalizing New Years resolutions. I am excited to get on this weight loss bandwagon and start back on the right track with school and my music writing.

How is your holidays?
