I am making an exception this year, though, because it just so happens that there are some changes I want/need to make, right about now. Perfect timing.

1. I decided to save all of my spare change in a jar, rather than carrying it around in my wallet and spending it daily. I am going to save it to use toward 2005�s travels (and at the rate I�m going right now, that may be all I have to spend on my travels!). I must thank Heather and Lauren for this idea, as I made the decision after finding out just how much money in change they had saved toward a trip to Las Vegas.

Plus, last night John was all, "Don't you have anywhere I can put my change?" and seemed dissatisfied with my answer of "My wallet."

2. I will lose weight this year. My goal is 30 lbs. I plan to do some drastic dieting on order to achieve this goal, because I am sick of being sick of my fat ass.

If I lose 30 lbs, I will weigh less than my original target weight. Right now, I don�t care because that�s what I want to weigh. However, if I lose 20 and decide I really shouldn�t lose anymore, I reserve the right to alter my target weight. What counts is the fact that I am going to diet, I'm going to lose this excess weight and I am doing to be diligent about it. I�ve done it before, I know I can do it again.

If nothing else, I am going to sing in Barbara�s wedding in May and I really don�t want to see another picture of me as a fat cow. The Christmas pictures were enough of that.
