We are now well into the new year and 2015 has shown its might in several ways. The weather has been tough all over with blizzards, freezing temperatures and ice storms. People have been getting sick with outbreaks all across the world from bad flu bugs to far worse with cases of measles making headlines. The year 2015 was off to a bad start, but that does not mean we all have to suffer that same fate!
Did you make a New Years resolution or two? I tend to not make my resolutions public knowledge, but that doesn’t mean I don’t make them. One of mine for 2015 was to spend more time with my husband and children, just being together, creating new memories and I am happy to report that this one is well on it’s way to being fulfilled. It helped that we had a wonderful family vacation to Disney World planned for some time before the new year even started, but we have also connected in other ways, like cuddling more at night and making sure to say “I love you” as much as we can.
I also vowed to make this the year to overcome challenges facing me in my writing career, to build new relationships and work on strengthening old ones.

Suzanne, your New Year’s Resolutions show that you are a great Mom. I am going to take your resolution to say “I love you” more often and make that my spring resolution!
Aww thanks Brenda 🙂 My parents taught me well <3
No resolutions made this year, but I plan on picking biking again, and just bought a bike trailer for my girl, that counts right? 😉
Certainly does Laurie, I think that is great!
My new years resolution was to lse the weight after my c-section and to sleep more. So far, I’m keeping those goals moving. 🙂
Good for you Elizabeth!
Hi Suzanne, I, like you, don’t tend to make New Year’s Resolutions but as things go I did get involved with a program from the YMCA early in the year and I was surprised at how out of shape I was. So since Feb. I have been riding my stationary bike every day, and I go out to Aqua fit, twice a week. I am seeing good results now and it just makes me want to keep going.
A little reward for all my hard work is always appreciated.
Great job Mom, I am so proud of you!
mine was to get my health back in line..been doing well..eating healthier, out and about more
This year I did. It was to eat healthier, and so far so good 🙂
no resolutions just goals – one step at a time. thanks
My New Years resolution was to work on my time management and so far it’s going pretty well.
This is a problem for me Nicole, definitely a good resolution..
No particular resolutions, more general ones like finding time to stay active, cooking more meals at home.
I will give myself a C. Trying to stay active but having a hard time staying away from white sugar!
At least you are trying Brandee!
I try to stay in the moment, love and serve others and take care of my body.
I don’t really make any serious resolutions – I always start the new year with goals and hopes; however, life often gets in the way, and they soon fall by the wayside – of course, I am always thinking of losing weight, eating better, exercising more, and living stress free – always a struggle for me!
I have never made resolutions!
to eat healthier but snacks are hard to put down
LOL, I know what you mean David 🙂
Yes I make resolutions. I have a few this year:
* Exercise Daily
* Dink more water
* Pay off debts
* go on more vacations
Hmm, these seem all too familiar Barbara 😉
I usually don’t but this year I decided to quit smoking, haven’t fully quit yet but have cut down on how much I would typically have per day
Good for you Andrew! That is a tough one, there is no doubt about that..
WOW, resolution to eat more, healthy & get well soon. Wow, prize pack is fab. & splendid. 2 fingers snap. It is tight, fly & off the chain. Thank you for the awesomeness, the contest, and generosity. Pick me, pick me!
Wow, thank you for the enthusiasm Edmond!
My goal this year is to eat healthier and less processed foods. I am trying to maintain my goal by visiting the farmer’s market once a week to stock up on fresh veggies.
i WANT TO GET MORE EXERCISE AND EAT A HEALTHIER DIET!!
I do not make New Year’s resolutions but I do try things throughout the year to improve my life which is why I’d appreciate winning this prize pack, especially since I have not yet tried Rub A535.
My goal this year was to give up drinking diet Pepsi. I have not been successful at all.
One of my resolutions was to reduce my sugar intake and I’m not sticking to it like I should!
I didn’t make any New Year’s Resolutions. I make month to month goals and that is going well. I’m drinking way more water.
i made a resolution to be more active and watch less netflix. the 10 seasons of friends i just finished probably means i didn’t really reach that goal!
i also made a resolution to journal more and to wake up early/go to bed early and not waste my days off! so far it’s pretty much working!
LOL Sarah, yeah ten seasons is a lot, but I can totally understand! I love Friends!
I don’t make resolutions. Ensures that I meet them every year 😉 I have decided that I need to drink more water and am making an effort.
Besos, Sarah
Journeys of The Zoo
That works for me Sarah 😉
I usually resolve to run more every year, and I usually stick to it.
I didn’t make resolutions, I am just keeping mental goals
I’m just trying to keep healthy and stay alive I have kidney problems I only have one kidney and trying to keep it going so I can stay another year!
Good for you Marlene, good luck and God bless!
my resolution was to start a small side business so far I’ve been making lists and doing research. thanks for the giveaway
My goals are to cut Sugar and Carbs as much as possible. Cutting carbs is a bit more easier than sugars. I am still trekking, I am sure I will be for years.
I don’t really make resolutions anymore just promises to myself that I will always strive to do better each day.
I sort of made resolutions and then I sort of forgot about them…
To workout more. Was keeping them for awhile but gone off track…
That is the great thing about resolutions Maria, we can just try again 🙂 Good luck!
My new year’s goal was to really start exercising. I’ve been committed since the new year and took up hot yoga…I am really loving it 4-5x a week after work!
That is excellent Maggie, good for you! Good luck!
Thank you! I am so happy that I have so much discipline – I surprised myself! =)

Yes to eat no wheat doing well so far
My resolution was to get more sleep. I’m doing okay with it but the night owl in me still wins quite a bit.
That would be a challenge Jonnie, but I hope you are successful!
Yes,I made one to eat healthier,,I am doing ok 🙂
mine is to drink more water and eat healthier
I made a resolution to become more healthy by drinking more water and eating vegetables every day, so far i’m doing it!
mine was to have more date nights with hubby, its not going to good, we have only had an hour date!
Great goal Lisa, we need to do that as well. We are lucky if we get a date night once a year!
My resolution is usually to move more. It keeps me motivated!
LOL, sounds like one of mine Tracy. Doesn’t have to be a set exercise routine, just get moving!
Keeping it simple works for me. Lol
I try to help anyone I can , all year around 🙂
