New Year Resolutions!

With a new year comes new hope. Isn't that why we make resolutions... to improve our lives in some way. So I'm setting myself up to failure, I'm making some New Year resolutions. Really, I'm hoping that I'm making goals for myself that will help me feel better about myself and become a better person.

My goals include:
  • Be more healthy... yes, it is a lose weight goal, but I've been working on this already. I'm 10 lbs. off of my initial goal of losing 30 pounds. But, I want to start making healthier choices in what I eat and snack on. I have a horrible sugar tooth and I gravitate toward those types of food. I also want to start up again with exercise. I've been making excuses that I don't have enough energy or I don't know when I can fit 30 minutes in... No more excuses I need to find time and get my body in shape.
  • Be more organized... I've already started this... but it will be a work in progress. I feel like I'm walking through junk everywhere I go... We have piles of toys, papers, and various other stuff laying around the house. I hope to find a place for everything and making cleaning easier. We already started by moving the office into our room and making the loft a play room for the kids. Our main floor already looks so much better.
  • Make more use of my spare time.... When the kids are asleep, what do I do, I'm here on the computer... Blogging, Facebook, games... or whatever else I can find to keep me occupied. So I want to use this time to work on my goals, clean, work on scrapbooking, or even reading a good book. I know there has to be better things that I can be doing.
  • Start a more established FHE with my family.... Now Ethan is getting older I realize if I want him to know more about the scriptures stories and about the gospel, I have to teach him; he can only get so much from church. I've made excuses that Scott is never home or I'm too tired... but I think it doesn't have to be a big production, just something simple to help Ethan understand more about Jesus and his church.

I think I have made enough goals for myself. I hope this will help me become a better person. Now I need to get started on these goals and get off the computer! I have laundry to fold.
