I’ve never really made any New Year resolutions before, mostly because I’ve always thought there were kind of stupid. Why wait until the next year to start what you know you need to do? But there are some things that I really want to start doing more over the next year and maybe if I write them down on here I’ll be more motivated to do more of them. I’m I going to start first thing tomorrow morning? Heck no, I’ll be honest. But I’ll work on it.
Resolutions
1. Blog more.
I like having somewhere I can write down whatever the heck I want. I really want to awesomeness of our plain but crazy life. It is something I enjoy doing and something that is all mine.
2. Drink more water.
I love coffee but I’m pretty sure the days where that’s the only thing I drink is not good for my body. I came across a group of women that drink a gallon of water everyday. I’m pretty sure that it might be impossible for me to do that. I’m currently working on the same cold cup of coffee during nap time because I was too busy chasing Jace around to drink it this morning. Also I’m pretty sure I would have to pee all the time. But I want to try to get the recommended in.
3. Run more.
Not to lose weight but that would be an awesome plus. I miss it. It’s hard to describe why if you don’t already know. There is just something about just the sound of your own breathing, your shoes hitting the dirt, and pushing your body. There is a thing as a runner’s high and you feel pretty accomplished afterwards. Running got me through a few tough spots when I was in high school and college. It makes me feel happier.
4. Eat healthier as a family.
This one needs no explanation. We are still going to have pizza nights and cookies. I just want us to eat more veggies also. 🙂
5. Be more organized.
Another one that needs no explanation. Patrick and I are pretty unorganized and can be lazy around the house.
6. Be happier.
I’m not unhappy, but I often get caught up in when things aren’t going how I had planned and get upset about them. I want to try to look at more of the positives and less of the negatives and just go with it. I want to try to find that girl who was more confident and was still climbing over fences at 40 weeks pregnant. I think she got lost under a pile of dirty diapers and clothes.
Well I think that is everything that I can think of for now. I hope at least one or two of these things get done by the end of the year.
This year has had its ups and downs but we made it. Jace is a crazy, silly, blessing and I’m so glad to have been his mom for another year. Patrick and I can’t wait to see what he decides to teach us and destroy next year. 🙂
I’m not sure what we are doing this evening. We might go shoot fireworks with family or stay in and snuggle and watch the ball drop since it is so cold outside. But the next post will be in 2015!
