I'm finally ready

All of January thoughts of resolutions flew in and out of my head. Lasting not much longer than a fleeting moment. I had plenty of things I thought about resolving to do, be better at, etc, but for some reason I was struggling to actually committ to them.

Well my friends, it's time. And I'm ready to committ. (it only took me a month)

First and foremost, I want to be healthy again. My baby is 5 months old now and I'm sick of having my squishy stomach roll over my pants when I sit down! The I just had a baby excuse has long expired. It's been a lot harder than I thought to squeeze exercise time in between taking care of my family and working. But it's totally possible and I have to make it a priority. However, exercise isnt' enough. I am going to eat healthier too. I'm eating more salads, less processed food, and eliminating virtually all treats (I still have to have one treat a week).

I have created a budget and we're going to stick to it. I want the reassurance of knowing we have a good savings put away for a rainy day. Plus, it's good to exercise a little discipline.

I want to be more positive. Focus on the good, give people the benefit of the doubt, be more patient.

I need to be better about reading my scriptures. Travis is the one who makes us read everynight and I need to be more supportive of his efforts. Together we need to make it a priority to attend the temple more often. We havent' been in a really. long. time. It's sad when I think of how many hours each week we spend watching TV, but can't find time to go to the temple. Granted we can't take the bambino with us to the temple, but still.


That's probably a good start :)
I'm excited! Here's to making a better me (wife, mother, and person).
