New Year's Resolutions

I'm about 2 weeks late, but better late then never! 

We all make New Year Resolutions and if you're like me,

rarely keep them. I've told myself this year will be different. 

I'm trying my hardest to make these resolutions feasible

and to stick to them!

1.) Make me a better me. To start, I just started training

for a 5k. Today was Day1 and it wasn't too bad! I actually

look forward to running again. I'm also trying to eat better

and lose some weight.

I also started taking Metformin to help my body break down

sugar (glucose) like it should. This should help me feel better

and help me with my weight loss. (I have PCOS..long story

short; my body is messed up. It doesn't break down sugar=

turns it to fat=I become fat. awesome.)

I'm also working on giving myself me time. Why is it that I feel

so bad having time to myself? I'm more patient and a greater 

mom when I give myself some quiet time to myself. And it's

not just that, but my husband works a lot. He's a financial

adviser for NYL which means he spends a lot of his weeknights

meeting with clients. Although he and I both love his job; its 

makes me feel like a single mom some days! So here's to

some more mommy time this year!

2.) Pay off debt. Pay more towards our cars per month. 

Start a Roth for me. Basically use our money more wisely.

(I'm hoping to do some 'snowballing' with our debt;

more specifically our student loans! Dang I hate those things!)

3.) Make a baby. Jeff and I have started thinking about baby #2. 

As you know, this isn't an easy process for us so it may take us a 

year (hopefully not more) to conceive a little munchkin. We are going

try to do it without IVF, but my OB doesn't think that's in the cards

for us. Hopefully with a decent weight loss; this will help. 

4.) Prepare our house to move by fixing up some of the little things. 

We are hoping to either buy or build late 2012 early 2013. 

5.) Attend church more regularly and get involved! I feel called

to do more, I just don't know how or where yet. I'm hoping 

attending church more regularly and getting involved in small

groups will help me get there!

Wow...quite the list, right? I have a feeling 2012 will be a great year

for us...and hopefully you too! Cheers to 2012!
