I have a few overall resolutions...
- To bring my lunch at least 3 days a week (preferably 4).
- To be strong and transition gracefully.
- To get in shape (half the work was already done in 2013 :)).
- To love my family and keep it as whole as possible.
My plans for 2014?I've just started HRT. I will continue it, getting to a full E dose by early summer.
My family will find a resolution. I don't know what it is yet. I would like to stay, but my wife is unhappy and I'd like that to change. I want to be her friend and I don't know if that's possible and I doubt it's possible while I'm transitioning. I will work with her and support her in any way I can. I will ensure my children, especially my son (8 ), have the support and love, and also the therapy they need to work through my transition and any family changes we go through.
I will give my extended family attention and ensure they have everything they need to move beyond tolerance and into accepting that I am female.
I will work with HR and management to find training opportunities and/or develop materials myself to describe my changes and what that means for the organization. I will come out at work FT as early as this summer and as late as early-2015.
My family's resolution is to have a better year. This year was difficult due to my coming out but we're ending 2013 as a united, happy family so this is very doable. :)
My personal resolutions will be to have voice surgery at Yeson and have SRS. In all honesty, there is little chance of these not happening next year. ;D
I'm also going to try to go back to school... again and finish my degrees.
My resolutions for 2014 is to continue where 2013 is leaving off.
Still trying to get to my goal weight of 145 only a few pounds to go.
Have my breasts grow into a C cup. LOL
Continue to turn this nursing home upside down. LOL
And last but not least is to make 2014 the best year of my life.
OK, I'll bite.
Putting holiday weight on was a lot of fun. It mostly went to my butt and thighs, which makes me look a lot more femme from behind.
I need to lose like 40 pounds now. 20 pounds of fat, 20 pounds of muscle. I can probably still bench press over 200 pounds *sigh* after I stupidly spent the summer of '12 doing physical labor every day and turned into a beefcake. So, I'm going to start a two month mostly vegetarian diet this week, hike 4 miles almost every day and do as much cardio as I can. I'm hoping that I can dump 2-3 pounds a week for the first 8 weeks and that these habits become ingrained enough to lose a pound per week thereafter.
I'm getting some work done on mah face in (hopefully) March. Apparently I don't need any of the typical FFS procedures. My wife has more of a brow ridge and adam's apple than I do, but I still need a few things lifted, tweaked and sucked. While I'm under, I will have the orchi done.
I'm going to Napa Valley for my 20th wedding anniversary and am trying to have an initial consult with Dr. Bowers at that time.
My legal name and gender marker change hearing is in July. My wife knows the judge personally, so I'm hoping there will be no issues.
Other than that, I just want to have another year of being honest and true to myself and be able to Jillax with my wonderful wife.
If 2014 makes a difference like 2013 did, I am in for a treat. I hope I can finish laser and electro this year as well.
The only plan I have is playing or putting on another show sometime this year. When that will be? Who knows? Where will it be? No idea. I don't think I will do it around here again, though.
I had a really good 2013 and as a result, I'm in a place where I think I can make a concerted effort to live the Gifts of Advent (Hope, Peace, Joy, Love) all year round (http://doubleinvert.wordpress.com/2013/12/30/resolutions-for-2014-advent-2013-reflections-part-2/).
At least, I'm going to try.
My only resolution is to just be myself and focus on my own wellbeing. That's enough for now.
Anything I can to get myself put back together, especially if it can speed up fixing the rest of me.
No resolutions but my plans are:
Move out of my parents house
Start hrt
Become a paid youtuber
Go to college
Find a better job
Learn to play my guitar
Get better at drawing
Actually use my expensive camera
Finish my novel(s)
Find out who i really am
Busybusybusy
My 2014 resolution is to have a resolution for each month instead of a bunch for the whole year. January is to come out to at least 1 important person in my life.
Thats a good plan.
My resolution is to make a resolution...

How do you get better than the best?
Huggles, fur defeats fear.
My resolutions are :
- to come out again to my wife, she has known since before we were married that I am transgendered but not that I need to transition. Not sure that it will go down well at all.
- to start hair removal and replacement
- start HRT
I just hope this year I can overcome the fear and start to be me.
Oh and I want to learn to fly!

All it takes is happy thoughts..... and a little fairy dust.
(or just miss the ground... so I've read).
No resolutions, just hoping it will be a better year for me.
I don't get the idea of waiting for New Years to make resolutions, so mine are the same they were before:
-exercise more
-do well in school
-gain power
-etc.
My plans are also the same as usual:
-be awesome
-learn stuff
-gain power
-become a super villain
I'm not making any resolutions because that's a good way to make sure I won't keep them. :D But I do have plans, somewhat.
The most basic one is to continue on T. I'm also gonna get my gender marker changed in the beginning of 2014 (I just need one document to do it, argh) and get hysto at some point which depends on the waiting list (I'm pretty sure I'm not very high priority, lol).
(HAPPY NEW YEAR at this point, clock just struck midnight here. :D)
But the part that actually requires some effort from my part is to start going to the gym to get some benefit out from T's muscle growth aspect. :P
It was kinda my plan earlier but... well, I'm a bit lazy. |D
I would like to add one more and that is to rid myself of all the negative people in my life. And I started this today by asking my former best friend from childhood why he has not returned my phone calls. The quote is taken directly from todays exchange on facebook. I have since blocked him as I do not need or want people like this in my life or knowing what is going on in it.
From me
QuoteHi Wayne. I'm going to be very blunt here. I don't care if my words sting. I need to get this off my chest. You hurt me the last time we spoke on the phone. Telling me excuse after excuse as to why you never stopped by. Saying how you don't like to talk on the phone. Personally I think it's because of my transition or that your wife dosen't like me. You were my best friend up to that point but I have moved on. I have tried calling you on your birthday only to get no return call. Well you know what I'm done. I'm done trying, and I'm done crying. Take care good luck and Happy New Year. This will be the last thing you will ever read or hear from me. Good Bye, Bethany Dawn
from Wayne
QuoteAnd Bruce... unfortunately I have a few things to get off my chest that have been bothering me for many many years. You have a beautiful child that you have never met. Never made an ounce of effort to see or get to know. Yeah I know you looked on Facebook. Whippy! You have always been one to do the opposite of what the mainstream is. This transition ridiculousness takes it to a new level. Somehow you've found a way to accomplish this though? Daughter still sight unseen. Makes me ill. I will never have a child but you have been given this gift. What do you choose to do? Cut your balls off! Your priorities are ->-bleeped-<-ed up and to be honest I want no part of it. Taking the government handout for sex change while the government also pays for your daughter is so sad. You should be thanking everyone for supporting her not looking for more handouts . Go ahead give me the handicapped excuse. Money isn't the point. It's actions that bother me. Your actions make me sick and are selfish. You want the attention well you've got it. Go ahead think people are supporting you. Anybody I speak with laughs at you. You look like a ->-bleeped-<-ing moron. Karen told me years ago about how you like to cross dress. I chose to ignore it. Now I can't do anything else but ignore you. Took long enough to get the hint. Goodbye.
Definitely don't want that in your life, Bethany. Good riddance.
My new years resolutions, hm...oh! Get a license, get a job, see a therapist, and try to be on HRT ASAP. I'm already working on weight, but Ide like to promise to myself that I'll stay on it no matter what I see when I look at myself. Also, hopefully being more social without a keyboard.

Accomplished. What next?
Personal growth, and by that I mean my boobs.
No resolutions, but plenty of plans:
*Start legal name-change process early January (probably next week).
*Go full-time starting March 1st.
*Finish my last semester at my current school in April, and pass all my courses. If I can stay on the Dean's honor list then that'd be nice too.
*Vacation with my best-friend in May.
*Reach my target weight by summer.
*Move to Seattle in August.
*Get a Vespa.
*Get a part-time job.
*Start at my new school in September.
*Have a super-awesome Halloween.
*Hopefully find some snow in the winter and enjoy the hell out of it cause Florida sucks. :)
*Maybe MAYBE finish a complete draft of my screenplay by the end of the year. (Ha! Riiight.)
To practice training my voice every weekday for half an hour for at least the first 4-6 months.
Well my resolution is to be a better and compleat person/woman.
Plans.... a lot revalving around my living full time sometime around the start of Apr.
I want to live as me and become somebody who is happy.
