New Year Resolutions + $500 Gift Card Giveaway!!

I don’t normally make resolutions, but I am going to try it this year in hopes of keeping these important goals on my mind more.  I’m sure my list is going to sound pretty stereotypical, but these are things that are important to me.  I feel like 2013 just flew by, and I exceled at work and school, but I left the gym by the wayside!  I would like to run and workout more like I did before gradschool.   5 days a week is a good target goal for me.  I would like to spend more time with family and friends. School has definitely gotten in the way with this, but there is always some time to be made. = )  Like my mom always says, we make times for the things we want to do.  My last semester of school is starting in 2 weeks, and I would like to do really rell my last semester.  I hope to get on a better schedule with doing my schoolwork so it won’t be too crazy of a semester.  I want to take Spike and Lola on walks more often, and just spend more time with them in general. After them being in a kennel all day, I want to get as much time in with them as I can.  We are really good about doing this in the spring, summer and fall, but we start slacking in the winter when it is freezing cold and raining.  I would like for Shane and I to go to our church every single Sunday. It is a 30 minute drive but so so worth it.  We still go, but I want to be there more.  I would like to do much better at eating paleo (primal.) Once again, I have slacked in 2013, but there is no time like the present.  What about you – what are you New Year Resolutions, or do you prefer not to make resolutions?
