What's yours?
I don't normally make any... but I'm definitely doing one for next year - to get fit again and hopefully by the end of the year get back in a size 12-14! I'll be very happy with that indeed! I basically just want to be able to keep up with my family when we're on outings and not be the one lagging behind puffing!

1. Get my restricted license
2. Pass my studies
3. Get outdoors more (I used to walk everywhere but since Spring came I seem to be asking DP for a ride everywhere! And now I feel too lazy to walk anywhere *sigh*)
My ones from last year were to
1. get my learners (check)
2. have a better diet (check 3/4)
3. get out there and meet other mums (check)

I don't normally make them, but this year we want to get house renovations finished, finally! And I probably should get around to getting my full licence too, oops.

Not eat so much (I've got the healthy food down pat....I just overdo the amount  )
Be more active.

I am NOT going to eat ALL THE PIES during this pregnancy 
I am going to be more assertive to get what I want from the medical professionals over here.

I'm sure I'll think of more but to start
*Take more pride in my appearance, esp. on the days I'm at home.
* Cook at least one new thing a week from the pile of cookbooks I have.
* Eat healthier - and if I lose weight that's a bonus.
*Stop wasting so much food... I'm sick of science experiements in the fridge.
*Be more patient with DH and DS.
*Be a better boss at work
*Keep the new house tidier that the last

Mine would have to be:
Enjoy my pregnancy to the last day (even if I'm overdue) because it's the last time I'll be pregnant.
Loose my 2 x baby weight by next Christmas.
Buy our first home before May when baby arrives.
That's all I can think of for now.. I'm sure I'll wantto add to it soon enough

My New Years resolution is all about me.
I am making 2011 about me. I am not going to be used, abused, or walked over.
I am going to complete First Year Midwifery with the highest mark possible for me.
I am going to get fit.
I am going to get into some type of martial arts as an outlet for me.

Normally don't do them either, but with a little one coming in its probably about time!
+Do my annual marathon as usual in June (though this year i will walk with the pram instead of running )
+Enjoy the hell out of January and love every second of being pregnant because i'm never, ever doing it again.
+Be back to and thinner then pre-preg weight by Jan 01 2012
+Cheesy as all hell but be the best mom i can be
Bonus would be to complete the Milford Track before bubs gets too big to carry through but i'm not sure the logistics will let that happen!

Seems 2011 is the year for it, I don't normally do new years resolutions either, but am this year:
- volunteer less/take less on
- stop trying to speak for other people (in a professional sense I mean)
- TMI: have sex more often
- not get pregnant!
