Good day all!! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend, and had a blast ringing in the new year! We spent New Year's Eve in the company of good friends, good food, and good times. I kissed the men in my life at midnight, drank a glass of wine, and had the best time I have had in months! It was EXACTLY what I needed...to have fun.
ONWARD!
New Year's Resolutions: 2013
1) Get Fit. Okay...so I know that I say this EVERY year...but this year, I totally mean it. I have a bigger reason now, than I ever have. My son...he deserves a mommy that has the energy to play with him, a mommy that isn't too fat to ride horses with him, and to not have a joke as a mom.
I have started a 6 month membership to our new local gym, and due to my recent diet change most sweets and basically anything that's not good for me are out the window. I already see a nutritionist so...not change there. Not to mention that I am just plain ol' sick and tired of being "the fat girl" So...steps in the proper direction! I will be checking in once a month after I meet with my nutritionist to let you know how it's going.
2) Drink More Water: I am AWFUL at making sure I am drinking enough water...especially when I am busy...which is all the time now...SO, I downloaded an app (Water Your Body) on my phone that reminds me every hour to drink water...and I can keep track of how much I have drank throughout the day.
3) Read A Book Every Week: I got two new books for Christmas, and I am borrowing 3 more from a friend that I am DYING to read...I have one down...4 to go until I have to figure out what I will read next. I have decided to not read any Parent books...I just want to figure things out on my own. I have these books and I will use them if I need to reference something...but beyond that...I ain't doin' it! I went information bonkers while I was pregnant and I don't want to do that now...and I think I am doing a damn good job so far. Hogan is healthy, and he's so very happy...what more do you need?
4) Go To Church: I haven't been to church since last February. I want to go back, but every Sunday I make an excuse not to get my big ass out of bed and go. "I'm too tired", "It takes up half of the day", "I don't want to go alone", "I don't want Hogan to start crying in the middle of the service"...well... It's time to say "Big effing deal. Get up, and get your ass in that Pew!" if Hogan starts crying...get up and walk out into the front...they show the service out there too. Sit and feed him or change him or bounce him...whatever he needs until he stops crying and then go back in and sit back down...it's not that difficult!
5) Be The Good: I always complain about how people treat each other, myself included...I'm not making any excuses for myself. My behavior towards some people is appalling.I want to be a good role model for my son..and to practice what I preach no matter how people treat me. This doesn't mean that I will let people walk all over me...or simply ALLOW them to treat me badly...it just means, that no matter what, I will do what I believe to be right, what I believe God would want me to do in those situations.
WORD OF THE YEAR: 2013

There you have it! I hope this week treats you all well!
