Progression of New Years Resolutions

I was pondering how well my progression and lack of progression of the New Year’s resolutions that I made.  In the past I really have hated to make any resolutions because it has always been something that I would end up blowing off and never coming close to meeting.  Maybe they have been too steep to be done, or just my lack of motivation to completing them.  This year like all the previous years I made a few resolutions with the expectation that I would fail to meet them again.  One of my goals was to lose weight and be healthier.  I didn’t set a weight because I didn’t want to fail. I have lost 20 lbs but gain 5 back so far this year.  Another goal was to be more physically active as well.  I started walking the 1st part of the year with Tina and was really struggling to walk a mile or so.  At the same time I also started to eat a little healthier, which has evolved into eating vegetarian.  That kind of was an unexpected curve that I would have never thought I would have take, yet I am so happy I have chosen it now though.   I have also hit walking 5 to 7 miles a day in walking as well.   So I think that I am going to set a new goal.   I think it’s going to be a push and as usual I am worried that I will fail.  I am wanting to be able to run 5 miles by the end of summer.  I hope that I will make it to this new goal, it isn’t so generic like before and I think it will also push me physically as well.
I do have to laugh though; I really did blow one of my resolutions pretty bad.   I made one that I wanted to put the transgender part of me more in the background of life.  I really missed the mark so bad on that so far this year.   In January I got to help my friends as they went through gender confirmation surgery, which was so cool to be there with them.  March we did the Dr Oz show on transgender families.   It really has turned out to be a blessing though because I really have met so many great people that I’m really glad I missed blew this New Year’s resolution!
