And the chaos of the holidays is over.  It’s time to step back from the stress of cookie baking, present making (and wrapping, ugh), AND two weeks straight of sick children!!Â
I’m beginning to look to the new year. Not New Years (I hate that accursed ‘holiday’ almost as much as Valentine’s Day)…but the New Year. It’s becoming 2009. My girls will both be in school full time starting in April (well, until summer). My boy is turning 11 in 3 weeks. My girls will be 3 & 4 instead of 2 & 3.Â
I’m also looking at myself. I have changes I need to make. Two pregnancies followed by a hysterectomy and becoming a SAHM has wreaked havoc on my body. I now weigh MORE than I did when I was 9 months pregnant with either of my girls. I don’t like what I see in the shower. I don’t like habits I’ve obtained.
So for the new year I have not necessarily resolutions (blech), but goals. Over the next week I’ll be posting each goal in its own post as I work them out in my head. So that I have a record of them, and something to look back on, and something to note with progress (or failure).Â
What about you? Are you already looking toward the new year? Or are you already sick of it??
One of my New Year’s resolutions is to not leave so many comments on other’s blogs. lol. (I’ve been trying to wean myself over the holidays.)
Love your blog. Hope you will continue. I understand that writing goals is an effective technique towards accomplishing said goals.
The weight thing is tough. I struggle myself. I have managed maintenance at a not-too-bad level, but I would like to be lighter, closer to my pregnancy weight. Sigh. A long way away in time and numbers. Best of luck. I’ll be reading along.
lol. I love that you leave comments!! But I can understand that it’s time consuming. I’ve seriously cut back in the past couple of months (and my own numbers show it).
The weight thing is going to take a lot of will power. Something I’m SO not known for. It’s not the only one that’s going to take will power. I hope to break my goals all down into smaller obtainable sections. I don’t expect to immediately start eating really well, or stop being an impuls buyer…I expect to take baby steps to my big goal.
I am right there with you. I am so glad Christmas is now behind us, and I’m hoping that all the sickness ends in our house soon!
I definitely hope to make changes in the new year. Things like diet, exercise, and just taking more time to…relax.
