2013 Will Be My Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone survived the holidays. I barely did as Rowan managed to get a double ear infection which has made him less than pleasant to be around. Top it off with very little good sleep for 6 days and you can imagine what a peach I am.

As with every new year, I, like many others, have come up with some resolutions. Ones that I really plan on sticking to.

My ultimate goal for 2013 is to run a half-marathon. I was thinking of doing one in May or June but with my work schedule and the new house, I'm not sure that I can commit to that kind of training right now. So, I'm shooting for one in August or September. I really want that 13.1 bumper sticker. Not that I'd stick it to my car (because I'm anal like that) but I'll tape it in the back window.

I'm also going to join Weight Watchers again. It's like the 4th time I've done this but it's the one thing I've done that has always helped me lose weight. My friend Amy and I are going to do it together. We're both stuck in that "I need to lose weight but have no motivation" phase of life so hopefully we can kick start each other into gear. We start on Monday. I'm excited and terrified at the same time. Eeek!

I'm also going to try weekly/bi-weekly goals like "I want to eat more vegetables each day" or "I want to cut back to one pop a day"...things like that. I'm hoping that between WW and my small goals, I can get down to my goal weight.

2013 is going to be my year. I want to look in the mirror with confidence and be proud of who I see. I want to go out on dates with my husband and have people look at me and think "Damn, how did that guy get so lucky?".

 

And damn it, I want to fit into a pair of Miss Me skinny jeans! They're so gonna be worth the $120 when the time comes.
