Weekly Slices of Special: 2012...The Year I kick my own butt

This has been the plan for awhile but here are my goals for 2012...not resolutions...goals...for serrrrrrrious

1.  Find a place to volunteer regularly and actually do it.

2.  Finish unpacking...finally...every last box.

3.  Lose 20 pounds...with Rand...by June

     3.a.  Start the 30 Day Shred January 2nd

     3.b.  Still go to the gym 4 days a week

     3.c.  Go back to eating totally healthy-add a veggie to every dinner

     3.d.  No fast food.  Ever.

4.  Get established at a church

5.  Resume knitting

6.  Find a new job, one that I'll love and one that pays me what I should be earning!

7.  Post on Slice of Special Daily

8.  And last but not least, because it's probably the 2nd most important and challenging:  I'm starting a no new 2012....I won't buy any new clothes or accessories in 2012 unless they are from a gift card or a gift.  I am going to try to go a whole year without buying any new purses, hats, gloves, scarves.  

My only exceptions to this rule will be:  

Shoes (but only if a pair wears out or breaks), 

headbands ( I go through a lot for the gym and I'm not going to give that up), 

underwear and bras-hopefully that's obvious, 

and finally gym clothes (but I don't buy much and it's usually replacement stuff anways).

 If I can do this, for real, for the whole year, the amount of money I save would most likely be obscene.

So there you have it.  I think every one of these goals is entirely obtainable.  I hope by sharing them I hold myself more accountable...

What are you trying to accomplish in 2012?!
