I need a resolution

Seriously, I need a resolution.

Basically, I've been slacking.  I could give you 1000 excuses, but I don't think any of them are adequate.  I've gotten lazy and complacent and that's just not like me.  So, what better time than a new year? 

Things I'd like to focus on:

*Exercising a bit more.  Not a ton, because I really do hate exercise.  I just need to get to a few nights per week so that I can stay healthy for my family. 
I did exercise January 1!  We did a walk around the neighborhood and then I ran for 15 minutes on the treadmill.  It's better than nothing!

*Drinking a bit less.  We (my husband and I) have gotten into the habit of drinking more often than I'd like to admit.  Alcohol for us is a stress reliever.  Its for celebration.  Its for any old bad day at work.  We used to have a rule that we wouldn't drink during the week but thats slipped over the past few months.  A few less glasses of wine will do my figure and my wallet a lot of good!

*Focus on "Real Food".  I've been reading the blog http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/ for a while now.  In general, we do try to eat local, whole foods but we also eat a lot of crap - takeout Chinese, boxed cereal, etc.  We are going to try and follow her 14 week mini-challenge to get our family eating totally real food.  I know it won't be easier but even if a few of the steps stick, our family will be healthier for it.

*Continue debt repayment.  I hate debt.  We don't even have credit cards or anything, but still our mortgage and our student loans loom over my head daily and I feel like I am suffocating.  I don't want to owe anyone anything.  In addition, if god forbid I leave this earth early, I don't want my kids owing it either!  So, we continue to tighten our belts and try to pay off everything.  In the first quarter, I hope to have our rental propery second mortgage paid off.  After that, finish off our student loans. 

*Have some dang fun.  Chloe and Lyla are growing up so fast.  I want to vacation again.  I want to spend many weekends at the pool and go on family bike rides.  I want to enjoy life with two small kids because its so awesome to see them have fun.

Happy 2013.
