A New Year

Well, it is officially 2012 and I am starting the year off exhausted! (from all the holiday and birthday celebrations that have been going on the last 2 months.) 

 It has been so crazy the last few weeks that I haven't even attempted to take down Christmas.

Yep that's right, it's still Christmas at our house. I only kind of feel bad about that.

As a matter of fact, it's probably going to be Christmas at our house for at least 4 more days because I work the next few days and my birthday is on the 5th.

I can't imagine anything more depressing to do on your birthday than take down Christmas...so I won't. :-)

I decided that since it was the new year, I should make some resolutions. Not that my resolutions ever actually happen....I actually cant recall what my last years resolutions were....probably a good sign that they were never resolved.

Ok then!

First on the list, make sure to work on resolutions.

Maybe the problem in the past has been putting too many things on my list. Massive lists are bound to be shoved aside due to being overwhelming and impossible. So, this year I will try to limit it to three things I REALLY need to do.

1. Lose weight/get healthy. SIGH I am pretty sure the majority of the people on the planet have this exact same resolution.

I have had this resolution on my list for years....YEARS!

Alas, I really, really need to.

Since getting married and diagnosed I have become a very lazy person and have gained a lot.

So, I need to lose at least 30lbs....but I would LOVE to lose 50.

;-)

 I will dedicate myself to exercising EVERYDAY.

I will make the effort to do ballet 3x a week and walk Freyja everyday for at least 40min. Then of course I will recruit my husband into making me go to the gym a few times a week.

 That should get me moving! Maybe I will post weekly check-ins on my blog so that I have people to be accountable to.

Hmmmm yes....

2. Make an effort to get to know our home ward and become active with a calling.Yeah, since switching over to a family ward Jeff and I have been pretty inactive. It didn't help that we were both sick or out of commission the first year in the ward. OR that it started at 9am and my nightshift body doesnt do 9am. OR that we didn't feel at all welcome even though our bishop lives down the street as well as our RS president. BUT  it's a new year and we've been in the ward for 2 years now and they have finally decided to rotate off of the 9am schedule SO it is time to really make an effort.

3. Get those blasted credit cards paid off. Oh CC you are the bain of my existance. You are so evil and cunning. I love you and your convienient ways but I hate your nasty finance charges and interest.

Well, there you have it. A three resolution list. Oh boy!

I better stop blogging and do some squats or something.
