Resolutions...Revisited

Last year I blogged about all the things I thought would make be a better person in 2010.  Seen Here.  Lets revisit those and discuss how I did and where things when wrong, shall we?

1. Take better care of myself:

I did this, sort of.  And then my pregnant self formed an unhealthy relationship with double decker tacos from Taco Bell.  30 lbs later I had a healthy and beautiful baby boy.  5 and a half months after that, I still have 10 lbs to loose.  I think I start a new diet everyday.  To take better care of myself I would need about 5 more hours in the day so I could make it to the gym, the grocery store, clean my house, do laundry...should I go on?  People always told me babies take up all your time.  I didnt believe them...until now. Did I brush my teeth today?

2. Take better care of my husband:

See number 1.

3. Be more patient and kind:

See number 1.

4. Keep a budget:

Diapers, formula, playthings...see number 1. Thank God for the new job I started in November.  We are surely blessed by that one.

5. Slow Down and enjoy life:

Slow down?...See number 1.  But loving every minute of it.

6. Be Grateful and Thankful:

Thank you for everything in my life God.  See number 1.

This year, no resolutions, i'm gonna just keep on keeping on.  Seems to be working, now lets talk about those 10 lbs.

Peace and Love in the New Year!

New Year's Resolutions

I'm really not the type to make New Year's Resolutions...usually because they are broken/forgotten by the second week of the month.  But this year, I have a few things that I would like to attempt.

1.  Take better care of myself:

This includes, looking cuter on a daily basis (avoid bed head at work), working out at least 4-5x per week, and eating healthier for my small bean.

2.  Take better care of my husband:

Cook dinner and have better groceries on hand for when the poor guy is hungry.  This sort of reverts back to #1...if there was better food in the house, I might order in less.

3.  Be more patient and kind:

Lately my temper sucks (I blame hormones).  I want to be sweeter, kinder and more gentle to all those around me.

4.  Keep a budget:

I'm so tired of living paycheck to paycheck.  I'm 30 years old damn-it!  I need to learn to live with-in my means.

5. Slow Down and enjoy life:

I am so rushed from day to day.  Wake up late, rush to work, work late, rush to the gym, rush home, crawl into bed...only to do it all over again the next day.  If I can somehow manage to wake up earlier, enjoy the day a bit, take lunches, breath, perhaps I wont be such a jerk the second things don't workout like I want them to.

6. Be Grateful and Thankful:

I'm always so consumed by what I don't have, or what's not going right for me, (baby's making me fat and pimpley, our house is not perfect yet, my car blows, it's cold in Reno, i'm poor).  I need to just appreciate what I have (an awesome home, a baby on the way, a loving family, and a super sexy husband that loves me even though i'm a raging lunatic).  I love everything I have and how lucky am I?  I love my family, my husband, my growing baby, my home, my heep of a jeep.  I love it all and am so grateful for it.  I need to express that more.
