I think...

"I think.... it's getting to the point where I can be myself again..."

This line in one of my favorite Bare Naked Ladies songs caught my attention today as I was running down the street... in a tee shirt (I just had to throw that in to make the Utahns jealous). Even though this has nothing to do with the rest of the song I realized that I am finally to the point where I feel like I can be myself again. Motherhood has been such a hard adjustment for me, so much harder than I ever imagined. But I'm glad to say that twelve weeks into it I feel good, I feel like I'm getting back to normal, just with the addition of a little cutie mixed into the madness. I haven't really written about New Years Resolutions yet which really surprises me because I am such a huge resolution fan. For years and years (probably at least 11 or 12) I have written in my journal about my resolutions, what I look like at that point (hair length, weight, shoe size, etc) and do a little recap of the year. As I read my resolutions from last year I realized that I didn't accomplish ANY of them. Not even one! I did get a lot of other stuff accomplished this year (mainly starting my family) that was well worth it, but I was a little disappointed in myself for not accomplishing any of these resolutions. So this year I am going to really focus in on them and get them done. Here are just a few of my resolutions:

1- First I would really like to lose my pregnancy weight. I have 19 lbs to go and I really hate feeling like this. I don't want to sit around and feel bad about the way that I look. I want to feel good in my body and my skin and so I'm going to do what it takes to get there. So running, lifting weights, and eating right are the way of life now.
2- I really want to start decorating my house. I've put this on the back burner forever, mainly because we were moving around so much I didn't want to move all the crap. I've been collecting ideas forever so it's time to put them in action and make my house beautiful and make it feel like home for me and my family.
3- We are finally growing up and writing out a budget. I think it's a little crazy that for the past five years we haven't stuck to any type of a budget at all. Mainly because we've never really had bills or payments other than rent because we were in school. But the time has come to budget our money and start really saving for the future.
4- I REALLY want to get my personal training certification this year. This will probably be the hardest one to accomplish, but I really want to do it, so I guess it's time to crack the books again.
