New Years Resolutions for 2013

Yup! It's that time of year again where everyone talks about their New Years resolutions.
Each year I make a list, write them down, and put that list somewhere where I won't lose it. And then first about it all year long... And then when it comes to Jan 1st of the following year.. I can never even fin the list to see if I even did one thing on the list.
So this year, I decided to do things a little different. Instead of writing them down on paper and losing it somewhere, I'm going to blog them! That way, by this time next year, they will still be here and I can check back to them when ever I want to! And as the year goes on, I'll see then every so often when I blog, so maybe I won't forget about them :)

First off, what everyone says on theirs lists too: I want to lose weight and get healthy.
I'm not looking to be super model skinny, I just want to be healthy. I want to have the energy to run around with my kids more, and play out side with them, and to be fit and in good shape. :)
I want to start eating better meals with more veggies and leaner meats. An watch portion control!

Next: Feel better about myself. No matter how I look. Weather I'm a size 20, a 10, or a 2. Just feel good about being me.
Do little things for my self, like a new outfit every now and then. Dress up a little more, instead of just wearing old t shirts and Yoga pants! Lol Wear a little make up more often. Do something different with my hair, instead of just in a messy bin or pony tail all the time. Get my nails done every once in a while, just little things that make you feel great inside :)

Thirdly: drink less Soda. Regular soda has so much sugar in it.. And diet has so much... Junk in it. but I still need that carbonation in a drink, so I want to drink more bubbly water this year. Plus that will cut a lot of calories, and they say you can lose weight in a year just doing that one change. So lets see if I can do it.

Next: I'd love to become better at keeping a better house hold. Keeping up with cleanliness, laundry, healthy groceries in the house, and that sort of thing. Also followed by this, spending more time at our house and being less dependent on my parents for things.

Then: pay off credit cards and begin to save more money in our savings account. Nothing major, just a rainy day fund sort of thing.

Also: I'd like to really start doing some work on our house. And make it feel more like a home to me. Decorate it, fix some of the leaks and problems it has. Maybe redo the bathroom and laundry room.

Oh! One more thing. As it stands right now, I have rocked Jaxon to sleep every night of his life, and still continue to do so.. And today is his 11 month birthday..
So in this up coming year (ideally in the next month or so) I'd like to get in to a better schedule for him bath, teeth, story, kisses, an bed. And put him to bed while he's still awake an have him out himself to sleep.


Woa. Those are some good goals.
Lets work on these. And maybe we will revisit this in 6 or so months and see where we stand :)
Wish me luck ;)
