2013 Resolutions...I'm Ready!

ARE YOU READY??

I'm so pumped for 2013.  2012 was an awesome year for my family and I'm determined to keep the momentum going and make this year even better!

I looked over last years resolutions and I'm sad to say that I didn't do very well.  Let's review:

1. Have more sexy time.
2. Read more. I read 36 books! 
3. Run the school 5K.
4. See More Theatre. I saw several live shows! 
5.  Drink less coffee/soda.
6.  More girlfriend time.  Started a book club!
7.  More adventure walks/letterboxing.
8.  Move.
9.  Make a vision board.
10.  Floss more. YES!

Bummer.  Only 4 out of 10.  Poor iKeith...number 1 just, didn't happen.   We've decided NOT to move because of the fiscal cliff and all that jazz.  I can't quit coffee.

Last year my theme was Be A Blessing and my theme song was....I'm Sexy and I Know It.    This year, I'm going with a Word and a Song.  Let's get this party started!

1.  Exercise

I'm finally ready to put exercise into my schedule.  I also want to find more active things to do with my kids.  I need to show them that exercise can be fun and we should do it as a family.  I've also hired a health coach and the next three months are going to be a whirlwind of change!

2.  Try New Things

 I love experimenting and learning new things!  There is so much I haven't done yet and I don't want to waste any more time.  

3.  Decorate the kids bathroom.

4.  Read 40 books.

I read 36 books in 2012 and I loved that I made time for reading because it's on of my favorite things to do.

5.  Keep nails painted, wear make up every day.

I found that I have more energy and feel good on the days that I wear a nice outfit and put a little time into my hair and make up.  

6.  Learn to Knit...well.

My best friend taught me how to knit last week.  I want to make stuff. 

7.  Run the school 5K.

 No excuses!!

8.  Teach my kids to tie their shoes and ride a bike.

9.  Save all of my blog money and use it for Christmas.
 

There are so many fun holiday things I want to do with the kids.   They all take money and I hate trying to find the money in my monthly budget.  

10.  Meet Oprah.

I'm ready for more 

The feelin' now that I'm beside you 

We'll open the door 

Do anything that we decide to 

And I know that there's something that's just out of sight 

And I feel like I'm finally seeing the light 

Holdin' on girl I know it's right 

I know it's right 

We're ready! 

2012 New Years Resolutions

Whew!

I love Christmas and the Elfcapades.....but making an awesome Christmas is exhausting.  Luckily....I didn't get really sick until it was all over.  It's been great having iKeith home for the last two weeks and I'm going to miss all of this family time.

But now....it's time to put the decorations away and take a look inward....and make some kick ass resolutions!

1. Have more sexy time. 


I read in O Magazine that making whoopie twice a week boosts your immune system.  I'm sick of being sick and if I can be more well by spending 20 minutes a week  flat on my back then I am willing to give it a try! Who's with me on this one?

2. Read more.

I just set a goal of reading 28 books in 2012.  I read 27 books in 2011 and I'd like to help all of you reach a personal goal of your own....by having you join me and Mimi's book club.  More on this later in the week.

3. Get Healthy/Run School's 5K.

This is on my list every year.  This year I want to run in the 5K at school and get a cool t-shirt.  I'll be blogging my journey at my fitness blog.  Fat2Fit Mommy

4. See More Theatre.

I love live theatre.  We haven't had a babysitter for a year now but we finally found someone (that we trust) that is willing to watch them occasionally.  I need more dates with my hubby!

5. Drink less coffee/soda.

I'm spending all of my extra money on K-cups!  It's getting out of control and I have a big trip planned so I need to start saving my spending money.

6. More Girlfriend Time.

I have made some amazing friends at school and I want to see more of them outside of PTA meetings and drop off.  I also need to get together with my OLD friends that were with me through thick and thin.  AND I have the trip of a lifetime planned with my blogging besties!

7.  More Adventure Walks.

My kids love to go on adventures and letterboxing.  We need more of this!

8.  Move

I'm going to work hard to see if we can move out of his apartment.  It might not happen for another year but I'm going to keep thinking positive.

9.  Make a Vision Board

I believe in the power of positive thinking!

10.  Floss more.

Like every day!

What are your resolutions?
