Happy New Year Everyone!
I’m excited for this coming New Year. In the last day of the old year I got a new nephew! He is a really cute baby. My sister is a great sister to give me another baby to spoil. I have no intention of having more myself so it is a good thing I’ve got her to provide me with baby cuddles

My hubby and I always intend to start the year by resolving to work out more. Not a easy thing when we are die hard couch potatoes. This year a friend convinced him to train for a half marathon. He is all a flutter with plans to run on the training plan and monitor his heart rate and so forth. I am being as supportive as possible when I have no real excitement for it.
I would like to train for the 5K walk/run and so that is my plan. I’m starting off small though. I know myself too well; if I start hard and have a hard time I will quit. So I’m trying to trick myself into working out more. I’m parking at the back of the store lots, getting off the bus a stop early, walking to the further off bus stop. Stuff like that. (it helps that I take the Bus) We tried to join a gym; that was a total loss. We went ONCE. In 9 months of membership. ONCE, and then we got busy and kids needed us and I got pneumonia- with residual adult onset asthma after. Its part of the reason I’m not looking forward to working out. Asthma is not a fun thing to have when you are walking out doors in 15 degree weather.
We’ve worked on healthy food choices in the past and try to stay away from “junk food”. With the notable exception of “Football Days” we don’t eat crappy food. * Football days are special days in our house and we are allowed to eat “football food”.
Other big resolutions of mine for the year include looking into more full time jobs, being involved with more family events, helping my kids with organization skills. Oh must not forget lose that extra 20 or so pounds. I defy you to find a woman who does not want to lose weight in the coming year.
I have every hope that THIS is the YEAR I will finally do the things I plan to.(What, I can always hope, can’t I ?!?!)
