I know it’s almost cliche but I’m going to write a post about my New Years resolutions.  I think that by writing them down that I have more of a goal to work towards.   Plus knowing that there is some record that I decided on these will actually help me go through with them.

• Take at least one picture EVERY day.  I have been mulling over this for the last week or so and I think I’m really going to do it.  I know the best way to get better at something is to keep practicing.  This will force me to work towards learning more about photography and I will need to get better at throwing out the pictures that aren’t as good (another lofty goal).  I’m going to start posting the photos to my Flickr account and I will have a post for every week that summarize them all.  That way I don’t flood my blog with individual pictures but I still show them off somewhere.
• Write a blog post five times a week.  This one I’m going to have to work hard at.  I have been good the last week or so writing a post every day but it has been a lot of work coming up with something to write.  I want to improve the quality of my writing and I know that the only way I will work towards doing that is by actually writing something and because I’m not creative enough to write short stories or poetry I think this will have to do.
• Lose weight:  Even more cliche I know BUT I have gained a lot of weight in the past year and a half and I have to start doing something about it now or else I will gain more weight this winter.
• Eat out less:  I’m going to try and stick to eating out once each week for lunch and once each week for dinner.  I have been spending WAY to much money eating out each week.
• Cook/bake two new things every month.  This doesn’t seem like a lot but I will be busy with the other resolutions so I don’t know that I will have a lot of free time. 

I’m going to create a page so I can keep track of my progress in these resolutions.  I think that will really help me keep going and not loose sight of the goal line.
