The Monster Under Your Bed

You can do it! I liked this contemplative look at resolutions. Personally, I think we do it on January 1 because: the calendar year feels like a clean break; and since we know other people are doing it. There's something to be said for the feeling that others are in it with you.

FYI, if you'd like to follow my alt LJ, renewmom, I'm tracking my efforts to lose my pregnancy weight. If I manage to lose a pound a week this year, I'd actually be down where I was pre-pregnancy!
