Resolutions

I have never been too great at making New Year's Resolutions, but I think I will try it this year.

1. Work out three to four times a week. I already started yesterday! It felt so good to get back into the gym. Now, I have to find the time to keep it up.

2. Eat healthier. I hate dieting, but I eat like crap. I found a website called The Daily Plate. It is so awesome. You put in your height and weight, and it calculates the number of calories you should consume daily. Then, you look up food that you ate, and you add it to your plate. It keeps up with the calories and calculates everything. It even gives you healthier options than what you chose. I love it. We'll see if I can keep up with it.

3. One goal I have is to balance school with work and family. I want to give everything 100%, which will be a challenge. I start my class in two weeks.

4. I want to cook healthier. This should help with #2. ;) I have done such a better job of this in the past few years, but I'd like to do even better. I want to find a way to get my kids to eat vegetables. My sister told me about a book that gives you recipes and ways to hide veggies. I plan to look into it.

5. I want to improve my prayer life and read my bible daily. I haven't done very well this past year. I've been pretty hardened since my two friends have been stricken with cancer. I need to set my priorities straight. I think if I do this on a daily basis, it will help me be a better example around the negative people that I am sometimes surrounded by.

Ok, I'll start with those five. I'm not sure I can keep them up, but it does feel good to set some goals! Now, it's your turn to make some!
