Goals... my January 18th resolution

I hate New Years resolutions.  I think they are dumb.. or at least I did.

My view is that you can change your life everyday.  We wake up and it is a new day, you can change anything you want.  But do we..

That is how it is with me.  I have things I have wanted to do for years.  Yet do I do them... nope.  Lack of motivation? I am not sure what holds me back. I don't hold myself accountable.  I sit here and think, ya you didn't do x,y or z and you suck but I dont do much about it.  So maybe resolutions aren't so dumb after all.  Maybe there is just some accountablity that needs to be had.

Goal #1 Fit into size 12 jeans--number that I wear right now, not to be discussed, lets just say its a few sizes bigger.

Goal #2 Own a Townhome

Goal # 3 Blossom new friendships and feed into the true friendships I have

Love conquers fear?

I was watching the Bachelor tonight. Guilty pleasure, but I love that show.  One of the dates featured Ben, the current bachelor taking a girl on a date which involved climbing the railing of the Golden Gate bridge.  Hmm.

The girl he had on the date, was insanely fearful of heights.  Yet she went for it.

It got me thinking, would I do the same thing? Or faced with my fear would shut down like her.

I am not a thrill seeker.  I don't have a desire to rock climb, sky dive or really even do something like skiing.  Its not fun to me. I have fears just like the woman in the episode, and I think they are things that I need to face, but put in the context of a relationship, I am not sure if I would do that for someone. 

Last spring, a friend of mine tried to get me to ride the mechanical bull.  I was slightly fearful but more really didn't seem like fun.

How do you get your excitement?
