New Year, Big Changes


It is a new year and you know what that means, resolution time! I put a lot of thought into resolutions that would be easy to keep. I do not want to be that person who puts out resolutions and then breaks them in February. So, after a lot of consideration, here are my resolutions for 2014:

*EATING*

The love of my life and I have taken to "clean eating" and regular exercise. We actually decided to try it as part of a group that my cousin was running on Facebook as a Beachbody Coach. So far, we are 4 days in and things have been pretty easy going....although it does seem like we spend most of our day prepping food. So I think on Sunday I will spend the day prepping our food for the week and it will be much easier. I think since we are in our first week it will be difficult but after three or four weeks, it will become second nature!
*SWEARING*

I swear. I have my entire life. I cannot remember a time when I have not had a little potty mouth. Even around my tiny humans....but they have never repeated me because I have taught them well and they know better. That aside, I have decided that I will stop cursing. It is a lot harder than you would think! But I have been very conscious of it and I feel like even if I have not completely stopped, I have done a very good job of keeping to an extreme minimum.
*FAMILY*

I have decided to build (or maybe re-build) relationships with many of my family members who, throughout the years for whatever different reasons, have become distant or not as close as we once were or as I wish we were. So I have sent out friend requests to many of my family members on Facebook (for the ones that were not there already) and I am hoping that with that small step, we will be able to start keeping in touch better and begin that way. My hopes are that I will be able to share my life with them through social networking: status updates on how things are (good and bad), pictures of my tiny humans, and messages to catch up with each other. My thoughts are that this will lead to more phone calls/texts and visits, ultimately equaling more time together and better, stronger bonds!
*SCHOOL*

I am continuing my psychology degree. By this time next year, I should have my degree! I am anxious about doing well in my classes but I am excited to get this done and finally graduate. I am half way through my program and I cannot wait to start a career doing something I am really interested in instead of just going from temp job to temp job!

So now that I have put my own resolutions out there for you all, I want to know what yours are! Since we are already going into the second week of the new year, have you broken any of them yet? Let us know what you have put out in the universe and are hoping to accomplish this year!
