I am writing on the prompt “Gone with the wind” – What I say and what I actually do when I make resolutions every year!

Resolution # 1: Morning and Night Walks

January 1

Husband: Good Morning Honey, its 5 am, come on, get up for the walk.

Me: Yayyy! Happy New Year Hun. Yes, let’s get ready. I have my new shoes and track pants ready.

January 7

Husband: Good Morning Honey, its 5 am, come on, get up for the walk.

Me (Snuggling back in my blanket): No not today please! Kids didn’t sleep well last night, I need some more sleep.

Husband: But what about your resolution?

Me: Oh! It can wait for a day.

January 8:

Husband: Good Morning Baby, its 5 am, come on, get up for the walk.

Me (Pulling my blanket back): No not again today, please! I had a late night call yesterday, I am so groggy.

Husband: But what about your resolution?

Me: Oh! It can wait for a day.

January 9:

Husband: Good Morning Baby, so are you coming for the walk today?

Me: Hmmm No!

Husband: Look its such a beautiful morning, its snowing and you love to go out in the snow right?

Me: Ya but I love my sleep more. I will go tonight, promise.

Husband: But what about your resolution?

Me: Oh! It can wait for a day.

Same night

Husband: Ah! what a scrumptious meal it was, time to go on a walk.

Me: I had a terribly long day with kids, I can’t go.

Husband: But you promised in the morning and what about your resolution?

Me: Oh! it can wait for a day………………Tomorrow!

And then tomorrow never comes!!!

Resolution #2: Eat healthily and on time, no skipping meals, no junk

January 1:

Husband: Good evening darling! So…had your lunch?

Me: Oh yes! I had it sharp at 1 pm, what about you?

Husband: Wow! I’m impressed. Yes, I finished too. By the way, just a reminder to have milk and fruits.

Me: I already had milk. And don’t worry, I have taken a resolution this year. Just wait and watch, I will be fit throughout the year. And yes, I have my plate of salad and fruits ready, will have it now. It looks so colorful and tempting.

January 7:

Husband: Good evening darling! So…had your lunch?

Me: No! Had to reply to all the pending emails and send the weekly report to my boss. But, I had coffee.

Husband: OKAY!!! And what about the fruits? They look so colorful and tempting, no?

Me: Oh! I was so full after having coffee. Moreover coffee and fruits don’t go together. Will have it tomorrow.

January 8:

Husband: Hi Hun, hope you had your lunch, milk, and fruits on time today?

Me: mmmm….well I got so engrossed in writing the new post that I didn’t realize the time. So, missed the lunch. 4 O’clock is no time for lunch, no. I have taken a resolution, I should eat timely only. So, had Maggi.

Husband: But you took a resolution not to eat junk.

Me: Yes, yes, I ate it after 10 long days. No junk at all.

Husband: And which fruit did you munched on today?

Me: mmmm…I will have it from tomorrow, promise.

And then, TOMORROW never comes!!!

So, this is my story about taking resolutions every year. What’s yours?
