The Internet. Great denizen of accountability through public declaration of things that may or may not been seen by others. But hey, I'll have to believe ONE person will see this, and therefore I will feel responsible to hold myself accountable.
2014 in the house!!!
Things I plan to do this year:
Lose the last baby weight. Really it's the mama weight. I didn't know it was possible to be an uncomfortably chunky size 2/4 until having a kid. Yes, I realize that is a low pants size, but that doesn't mean I feel good in the pants. So far I have decided to start the morning by planking (the exercise, not the photo trend) as long as possible. This morning I did one minute. That is a great starting point. I hope to add 5-10 secs a day, with no particular end goal. 3 minutes might be good, I don't know. I really want to get back into yoga too. I did about 20 min of a video today, and just, well... classes are better. Something about tapping into everyone's energy to focus and push you along. This however means finding an inexpensive, easy to get to place to take a class at a time when I can get child care. Big request.
I want to end this year at a point where I do not have to rely on unemployment insurance. The system is so. broken. I understand the "why", but the "how" has become unbearably frustrating. To that end, I have recently joined the doTerra family, and really want to make a go at the business end of things, on top of my regular full time job. They gave me a webstore!! http://www.mydoterra.com/mariarenee I am considering signing up for Tupperware as well, but haven't pulled the trigger just yet.
Speaking of doTerra, I want to commit to overall wellness for my family. I have my own ailments I need to heal, but I also want to be proactive with our health in general and finding ways to create a sustainable environment. Reduse, recycle, reuse. Be good to ourselves. Walk more, drive less (which is hard with a toddler and working in a different city than you live). Try to support local business over big box, and support my friends and family in their endeavors, whatever those may be.
I want to fall more madly deeply in love with my amazing companion. He's incredibly awesome, whether he wants to believe it or not. He carried my kid on his back up (and back down) a hill for crying out loud!!! That's... sigh... so unbelievably sexy. :-) It's wonderful to have a mutual respect and appreciation; to be able to talk about anything and everything, even when it's a disagreement or a misunderstanding. Yeah, I'm getting a little teary, I feel that lucky. Shucks.
I want my daughter to continue growing into the awesome person I know she's gonna be. She way too smart, and precocious. It's going to be a 5 star rollercoaster, this one. It's a good thing I love rollercoasters. We are nearing on potty training. One more bastion of freedom. Soon she'll be driving, and then goodbye kiddo!!! Haha. Somedays it feels like that.
Overall I want to commit to having a good year no matter what comes my way. I want to be successful in all my ventures. I want to be healthy and happy. Alright... here it goes...
