How are you doing with your New Year’s resolutions? This is a super fun and easy vlog hop a bunch of bloggers are doing. Please join us! Just record a quick vlog sharing how you are doing with your resolutions, put it on your blog then put your post on our linky.
For those of you who cannot watch the video, here is basically what I shared.
I vowed to stop myself from comparing my life, my family and myself to other people. I won’t compare my blog to anyone’s except my own. I refuse to compare my house or my life to anyone else because they are not me. Comparing to others always leads to despair and unhappiness. I do not need that! So how am I doing with that? So far really good! I had a few times where I really wanted to compare and I stopped myself. It has led to less anxiety and overall more contentment.
My other goal, as every year, is eat healthier and get fit. I want to say loose weight because over the winter Josh worked a ton and I gained 10 lbs. How am I doing? Fantastic! I joined a gym and started to eat more whole foods and less crap. I am eating less dairy, less red meats and a ton more fresh veggies and fruits and whole grains. I feel 100% better, have a ton more energy and I believe this is a lifestyle I can live!
So how are you doing?

Thanks so much for sharing my vid! Love that you have stopped comparing yourself with others. I have struggled with that from time to time too. And congrats that you are doing great on your diet/eating better plan, I forgot to mention that in my vid too!!
Loved your vlog Annie! You definitely seem energized by your new outlook on food and diet.
I think we all get into the compare game from time to time, it’s tough not to, and I admire you for owning it, and turning 2012 into the year of you! After all there’s no one else to compare you to.
Annie! You’re amazing! I love your positivity. You absolutely inspire me!
Stop comparing – that is so important! I need to follow your lead on this!
Annie, it is abundantly obvious you love what you do. I will take your advice and stop the comparison game. I think we can admire what others do and how they do it but not hold them higher than what we try to do ourselves!
I say it every time – you are so stinkin’ cute! I am happy to hear that you are sticking to your resolutions!!
My main resolution was to get organized. It’s a long, slow process but I have been going through all the crap in my house – making keep, toss, sell piles and putting the keep stuff where it belongs.
I have been making more meals at home, too which is nice!
I love this & your resolution to stop comparing…I’m doing this too. It’s just not worth it and of course there is only one ‘you’
And yay for going back to the gym!
