Kelly's World

Ok, so it’s only taken me a month to get this in order. Don’t care, the year is still in the first quarter, it’s still new (kinda). 30 day money back guarantee yeah? So 30 day resolution guarantee. *cough*. Anyway…..

Every year (for the past 2 years) I’ve written a list of 10 things I want to accomplish during the year. At the end of the year it’s really quite exciting looking back on the list, and feeling like you haven’t really wasted the year floating around. To feel like you’ve fulfilled your goals is a great feeling indeed.

This year I decided to focus on my health. I’ve really quite neglected it, and the two items health related last year weren’t completed. So 2008, it’s mostly about self improvement. Oh, except for one which I just wanted to throw in cause it would be FUN AS!

1. See the dentist – this scares me, but goddamn it I have to get it done *nightmares of drill noise*
2. Go and get my neck and back sorted by the chiropractor. I’ve been suffering from stiff neck, sore back, pain in the sternum, ribs etc for ages. Pretty sure it’s posture related but it has gotten so bad that if I sleep on my side in bed at night I wake up in the morning and can barely move my shoulders otherwise it feels like my ribs will break off from my sternum. Very painful indeed, it needs to get dealt with. It will also help with my frequent migraines.
3. Get my second pap smear - if I don’t write this I won’t do it, and it was the only way I managed to force myself to get a pap smear two years ago. Mind you, I did it with about 3 days left in the year, and it was the only one left to do. I had to get it done, and I suspect it will be the same for 2008.
4. See the doctor re: my ear drums & sinus – It’s always difficult to clear my ears, I have frequent ringing in both ears, and fairly certain my sinus has something to do with it. A few years ago I popped my ear drum and was assured that it was fixed, but I’m still nervous about why I have issues clearing my ears when going up/down hills. This will be fundamental for one of my other resolutions as well.
5. Get back to a healthy weight – if 2007 was my fatty year, 2008 will be my “new leaf” year. I have every right to have a great figure, and the only thing that stands in my way is myself. Time to harden the f**k up, stop eating crap, do exercise, drink water, and look and feel great. Bring it on.
6. Go diving with the sharks – hurrah!! A non health related one! Woohoo. But, this comes with a condition. I’m ONLY going diving with the sharks if I get permission from the doc to dive. Last time I went scuba diving I popped my ear drum, and I’m certainly not in the mood to repeat that. But I think this would be soooo much fun, Mat’s coming with me.
7. Get rid of one credit card - a rollover one from 2007, I need to sort this out.
8. Get a spray tan – this was another roll over from 2007, and one that will be my “reward” for number 6. Looking forward to it.
9. Get at least a credit in the Queensland Criminal Code tafe module – I did this because I had no plans to study this year, and this module was one that I was particularly interested in. I can’t wait. TAFE starts up next week, and I’m dancing like I’ve got ants in my pants I’m so excited (how sad am I!)
10. Write these bloody resolutions before February - seriously, did I have to slack on my blog for so bloody long? I have been working on this one without writing down for the whole month. Kept saying “you HAVE to have them done before February”. So yay me, I have completed one already.The internet better not die before I post this.

So there’s my list, feel free to comment with your own list. I know a few of you wrote a list last year, how did you go with it? What was your feelings about working on a list for the year, did you enjoy it? Would love to hear any feedback.
