Hmm....what are my resolutions for the coming year.


Well, before I can answer that question I have to think about what 2010 will be bringing for us.

April 4-Luke's first Easter
April 18-Luke will be 6 months old

June 14-Tim's 28th birthday

Aug. 18 Luke will be 10 months old
Sept. 18-Luke will be 11 months old
Sept. 25-My 27th birthday

Dec. 18-Luke will be 14 months old (talk to doctor about TTC)


So, I would like to get into shape before Jan 2011.  That's when we plan on starting to TTC our next baby.  Luke will be 15 months old & I need to be in top physical shape so I can have a successful VBAC.  I weight about 180 right now & my "ideal" weight is 140 so I've got 40 lbs to lose.  That's 1.25 lbs a week or 3.33 lbs a month.  It would be great if I lost it faster, but I don't want to set an unrealistic goal.  The ways I plan to achieve this goal are walking with Luke & Carolynn daily, getting on my Wii Fit as often as possible, and watching what I eat.  


I'd like to get our finances worked out a little better so that by Luke's birthday in October we can have a SMASHING first birthday party.  Mark your calendars Oct. 16, 2010--party day!  I want to get him a Thomas the Train table and lots of Thomas accessories.  The ways we plan to make this goal possible include paying off my car (with our tax return) or getting rid of it, managing our finances/budget even better, and cutting our grocery and gas bills.  


I think those are my only resolutions.  What are yours?
