Back on the wagon

I'm jumping back on the blogging band wagon for 2010! I love being able to look back and see what has happened in my (and my family's) life over the past few months, and I feel like this is a great outlet to do that.

Since today is the first day of the new year I thought I would post about my goals for the year. I hate to use the term "New Year's Resolutions" because I feel like the definition of a new year's resolution is just something that you say for funsies and don't really mean! So, I'm saying that these are goals... not resolutions.

1. Run/jog a 5K- I need to be more active, and this is a great way to do it. I am going to start "training" on Monday. I'm looking forward to it (talk to me again Monday night and we'll see how I'm feeling!). I need to update my ipod with my new CDs I got for Christmas (yes, I got CDs. I still listen to music on CDs)

2. Start once a month cooking- I have a friend that does this and she's hosting a "how to" at her house next Friday. I'm really excited about this one. I feel like at the end of the day I'm drained from taking care of a newborn (is she still a newborn? she's 3 months old already! *tear*) and a toddler. I don't feel like cooking, and I definitely don't feel like cleaning up afterward! This way I can cook once a month, freeze what I cook and have precooked meals ready to go each day!

3. Limit my fast food intake to once a week- fast food is bad for you, we all know that. But I think it's unrealistic of me to say that I'll never have it again. There are some weeks that I don't have fast food at all, but then there are some weeks that things are so crazy I end up in the drive through several times. My goal this year is to not let that happen. Hopefully the once a month cooking will help with that.

4. Photo 365 I got this idea from my online mommy friend Jaimie. I love her blog, her blog inspired me to start blogging again. I'm going to take one picture every day in 2010. Not to say that many days I'll take more. If you follow me on facebook you know that I take lots of pictures! But there are days that I don't bring out the camera. This will also make me more intentional about the photos I take. I take tons of pictures of the girls, but hardly any of myself, or anything else for that matter! I'm excited about this one too.

So, there are my goals for 2010. I'm looking forward to see what 2010 has in store for me and my family.
