New Years Motto

Well, I know there are New Years resolutions that usually are toast by the 7th day- but today is the 7th day and I am still sticking with my New Years motto of 2011 that I stole partly from a song- but since I am a cleptomaniac at heart, I think it is fitting that I stole my motto, but added my own twist. When I say twist, I switched one word!

God is great, beer is good and my LIFE is crazy!!

My kids are crazy, hyper and keep me very busy. I have always loved beer and now that I am not pregnant or nursing I am very happy to be able to have a beer now and then when I want it. And I am doing a new bible study where I am on a mission to learn more about Christ and trying to grow spiritually.

I have to say I am very excited about my new year and my new motto. I am also trying to get in shape. by in shape, I just want to be able to fit back into the clothes that I have kept in my closet because I hoped to fit back into! Also, I need to be in shape to keep up with 3 kids. All the lifting and running and spanking is a lot of work so I would like to be able to do all of the above without getting out of breath! Of course my motto does not cover my diet/fitness plan just in case it does not work out- but I know it is in there somewhere between beer and crazy!

Speaking of crazy, I finally ate the last of my oreos yesterday and am not going to buy them again for months because I am addicted to them and need a break. They certainly are not going to help me in my fitness weight loss goals so I had to give them up. I am keeoping up with my fitness goals a little on wii fit- though so far it has only told me that I have gained weight,I like it because it kind of keeps me accountable. I think that is how the biggest loser works, seeing your weight on a BIG screen in front of whoever is around- makes you think- WOW, I should do something about that. Of course the biggest loser peopel have all day to work out and the right foods in their frige all the time.

Working out is tricky because I used to work out in the morning and that to me is truely the best time for me to work out. It helps me to eat better during the day and it is over with right away, so there is no putting it off. Well,now with 3 kids, I cannot always get up before them, because my kids get up VERY early and of course sometimes they keep me up at different times of the night. So I do not hold myself to getting up before them, but if I have any time to myself during the day, whether they are napping or if I have to lock them in their rooms for a little bit, I need to do some sort of activity. My goal is 30 minutes, but if I do not have 30 minutes, I no longer skip it, I just do what I can when I can. I have said enough with the excuses- you can do 30 minutes in 3 10 minute increments- is that ideal, not really but my schedule with 3 kids 3 and under is too crazy to alot for 30 minutes all the time.

So we will see if I can actually keep up with this plan!! I will try to post something on here too so you cna help keep me accountable- because I need it!!

Happy New Year to anyone who reads this!

ps, next time I post I will try to post a new photo as I do take many of them all the time. please check out my shutterfly account for pics, because I upload once a month on there.
