Oh yeah, that resolution thingy…
I had to start Liam’s love for cards now so I have a rummy/cribbage/blackjack partner later in life {since my husband isn’t much for sitting down and playing for hours on end like me and my mom}
It seems like people either love or hate New Year’s resolutions, and I guess I don’t have a feeling one way or the other. I’ve half-heartedly made them in the past – run more, eat less, no ice cream – I never follow through. I have, however, successfully completed ONE resolution in my time. Last year on New Years Eve, John asked me what my goal was for 2012, and I answered {half} jokingly “To grow a baby.” Boom! Done. I don’t think I will ever top that one – unless I said I wanted to grow two babies… { just kidding, John }
So instead of making some lofty goal that I will never keep, such as giving up ice cream {which lasted a sum total of 24 hours back in 2010}, I just have some little things that I want to do or be better at this year.
1. Plan meals for the week and get groceries accordingly.
2. Eating a better breakfast/lunch because what and how I eat effects Liam, too. Typically I would skip one or both of these meals and replace them with unhealthy snack foods. So this morning I got up and made a two egg omelet, ate a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats, and drank a glass of V8 mango smoothie. Ok, and I had coffee, but I never said I was giving that up
3. Continue to go to CrossFit three times a week and eventually make it four.
4. Be able to do pull-ups again (unassisted).
5. Finish Tough Mudder in June.
6. Drink more water.
7. Take more photos that aren’t work related – and this blog definitely helps with that already.
8. Continue to learn and grow as a photographer.
9. Frequent coffee stands less.
10. “The VW Diaries.” Find a camper van {preferably a 1968 VW bus}, pack up the family, road trip to Utah, and blog about it.
