I've started using My Plate at Live Strong to track my eating and I LOVE it. It makes it so easy to keep track of everything, especially since there's an app for it so I can use my iPod to record what I eat when I'm not at my computer. :)
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! Are you ready to get back to regular life yet? Yeah, me neither. :( My parents were here visiting for the holidays and we have been having a WONDERFUL time. They’re leaving on Monday and I am SO sad. They live so far away. I guess I’m lucky that I get to see them once or twice a year, but it would be even nicer if they lived right down the street. They did buy a new house while they were here and my dad will be retiring in a year or so. so eventually they will end up right down the street! In the meantime we will be living in their house. I can’t tell you how happy I am to be moving out of our apartment. 2009 was such a rough year for us with my DH losing his job and everything, but things are getting back on track now. Thank goodness!
Normally I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions, but this year I decided to make a little list:
- Work on improving my health
- Do more service, be more giving, focus on others
- Go back to church (I’ve been inactive for a looooong time and I’m ready to go back, not just for spiritual reasons, but because I really miss having friends and there are always lots of new friends to make at church)
- Spend more time interacting with my children, not just watching them play, but playing with them!
- Make more “Us Time” with my husband. The boys are three years old, it’s time for us to start dating again. lol
- Find things to like about myself and let go of the negative feelings I have about myself.
- Be more positive
It’s an incomplete list, but I think it will keep me busy! lol What about you? Do you have any resolutions for the new year?

I think we have basically the same resolutions, but I would add “get a job” and “lose 40 to 50″ pounds to mine!! I’m glad you had fun with your family, I’m going to New Orleans at the end of January for 10 days BY MYSELF, I’ve never been away from my children, not even for one night and I can’t wait!! It’ll be a nice break!! Miss ya Ellie!!
I don’t make resolutions either but I do have a few things that I’m currently working on like decluttering my home and getting more organized. I need to go on more dates my husband and interact with my kids more too. I also want to be a better gospel doctrine teacher. I have decided that I have to loose about 20 pounds. I’m not sure exactly how but I think it would be a good thing for me to take control of my weight.
those are great things to work on. I try not to make any promises to myself because I never keep them but this year I did make one and that’s to be more trusting in God. I’ve had a hard time with that this past year and it bothers me. Maybe we can all work on something together. Good luck with yours
Great ideas for the new year. Good luck. You can do it!
Great resolutions. I want to be a happier primary teacher. I’ve had a bad attitude about it for a year now (my first time EVER teaching primary) and I need to improve that in 2010.
