April...another beginning

I have made my New Year's Resolutions and by golly I have
been actually following them!

I have been eating healthy and enusre my family does also.
My husband doesn't wine anymore about the lack of snacks in
our house and I am finally 125#!

Now I must start the exercise. Can't accomplish a healthy
lifestyle without it! I was suppose to do 30mn of cardio
yesterday, but only was able to finish 15mn...it's a start
at least! I am following a program on the net for the next
3 months that gives out prizes for your accomplishments. I
figure that is a nice incentive besides the great body I
could end up with. My husband has been working out
religiously for the last few months and is looking quite
buff. I need to catch up before the 7yr ithc kicks in and
he wants to stray.

As for the kids, we have been spending more quality time
with them and Kamron started preschool this week. I am
praying that he loses his attitude before kindergarten
starts. Once we get our table set, we can work on table
manners too. Out poor boys are terrible at the diner table
and it's all our fault for not enstilling them with such
manners. Well, I plan to fix that!

I have been getting out with friends at least every other
weekend! I didn't realize how much I need that adult
interaction. I have even gotten stupid drunk a couple
times. Not saying I am proud of that, but found that it
had helped my overall personality...I'm not so serious all
the time now...I too can cut loose and put my worries
away. It sure feels good to not always have to be the
responsible one all the freakin' time!

Next to work on is spirituality... I need some answers and
understanding. I have been going to church off and on for
years now, but never found one that I felt I could committ
to. Missy and I are going to try a Lutheran church she
likes. I have family that attends there too, so maybe it
will be the one! What's important is that I don't feel
preeched to. I want to be able to understand what is being
said and be able to ask Q's and get real answers. Plus
there has to be a good kids program for my boys. I don't
want them to be turned off by God like Dan and I had been
when we were kids. I'd love to make God a part of our
daily lives.

So EXERCISE, CHURCH and QUALITY FAMILY TIME are the main
focuses for April. This fall I plan on expanding my
volunteer and adult contact goals by joining the JR Women's
club. I still will try to keep up with brownies too! I
just hope I am not creating more work for myself, or less
time for my family! Pray for me, please
