Happy New Year Friends!

I hope everyone had an enjoyable and safe new year. I've been so busy the last few days and haven't had a moment to sit down to blog. With the New Year there is always a lot of talk about resolutions. I don't make them and I don't plan to now. I think it's a waste since most of the resolutions don't last for longer than a month. I know that's how it used to be for me. I use to make vows to work out more, eat better, do better at school, etc. and I found that it only lasted for a month maybe two at most. Now I just resolve to do better year round.

The whole eating better and working out resolutions is pointless unless you are ready and willingly to make a lifestyle change. I think the idea of wanting to do these things is great, but you shouldn't wait until the New Year to do them. I also think that if you stop you should just start again and not wait until next year to try again. I fall off the horse frequently through the year and have found that I just need to be stricter with myself again. For instance, December was not a good month for me in terms of tracking my food and even working out, but I didn't wait until January 1st to start over I kept trying the whole month to get back to what I needed to do. It finally worked but took the dedication and accountability to make sure I was tracking my food and working out every day. 

This year I plan to continue eating and leading a healthy lifestyle, but I also have some other things I want to accomplish. I hope to share my journey in these areas with you all as well. 

I'm off to be mom as the little one has woken up. Until next time (hopefully tomorrow)...
