New Years Resolution

So its obvious I am not too good at this keeping up thing. Hopefully it will get better over time. Its the New Year now...and I will just add it to my resolution list. Many people do better at keeping those silly things if they write them down. Something about making them accountable? So here is mine/ours:

1. As many know- we are starting P90x. This blog will now become a place to update on that as well as our family life. One resolution is to lose 35-40 lbs. for me and Jayson will be right beside me to tone himself. All in all, we want to get in shape...great shape. I want to get back to the Maranda that Jayson met so long (short) ago. I want to have evergy for my children, and I want them to know how to keep themselves healthy as well. I am not a very "granola" person but I want to fix some physical parts of my life and eating McDonalds and ChickFilA is one of them. So P90x and clean eating are resolution #1.

2. Spending more time with our children. Somewhere along the road, I have lost track of that valuable thing called life. I have been consumed with technology (our computers) and finances and I have unintentionally pushed the kids to the back burner. So resolution #2 is to put everything else aside and take the kids to the park more, do the things they want to do, get on the floor, play wrestle, paint, ride our bicycles, etc and NOT WORRY about the laundry or whats in my email box or when the dishes will be done. To do this, Jayson and I have moved our living room to the basement where the play room is. We will be beside them a lot more now. I hope this is a good start.

3. With the chaos of 3 children, I have become somewhat of a negative person. I know others can see it, because I can see it. So without going too deep into it, I am going to work towards becoming a more positive person. I think resolution #1 and #2 will help with this :)

So thats its- if you see me, remind me of these things. I am not ignorant to the fact that I need to work on these things. So here is to 2010!
