New Year's Resolution

This morning on the radio they said that one of the best ways to keep your new year's resolution is to write it down.  I'll write it down here for all the world to see.  Later in the year I'll even let you know how it turned out.  


First, I'll let you know about how I came up with the resolution.  Yesterday I was having lunch at the local pizza buffet cheating on the contest and the T.V. there was playing CMT cribs.  The show was basically about country music stars showing their houses to the world (I guess it is some sort of service for Nashville area burgulars).  Anyway many of these people had four cars and two drivers.  As I was wondering about what possible reason they had for this I remembered what someone once told me about how when you point your finger at someone you have three pointed back at yourself.  This got me to thinking about all the stuff that I have and don't need.


I have stuff around my house that I don't have a place for.  I have stuff that I don't remember getting.  I also remember getting some stuff which I might use if I could find it.  I don't think this problem is because of the size of my house.  I have a three story house, and there are three people who live here.  No this is a problem of too much stuff and not enough getting rid of stuff.


So my resolution this year is about less.  I want to keep less stuff.  I want to weigh less. I want to buy less stuff.  The things that I do keep I want to keep in a place that I can find it easily.  


My plan for doing this is simple.  I'm going to start making sure that I everything I have is something I want to keep and put it in it's place.  If it doesn't have a place I'm getting rid of it.  Before I buy something I'm going to find a place for it.  


My weight loss plan is simple as well.  I found a website where I can record my calories in and out.  All the diets in the world are some form of calorie counting.  This one can also set up a workout routine for you.  I figure if I burn more calories than I take in I have to loose weight.
