Remember when...

I was going through a bucket of old pictures. I came across one of when I was a senior in high school. I miss my long hair. :( I wish hair grew faster. I also found a picture of my baby sister and myself. We look so happy and that wasn't a regular emotion for us growing up. I was supposed to be organizing these pictures, but I guess I spent more time reminiscing.

Starting the new year off with sore muscles

Mindy and I have been working out every night for about an hour at the gym. I feel really good and energized, but I am so sore. :) I am already starting to notice a difference in my endurance...like when I first started on the eliptical I almost died after 10 minutes at an easy level. Now I can do 30 minutes easily. I haven't lost any substancial amount of weight yet, but I definately have more energy than before. I actually look forward to going to work out, even though my arms feel like they are going to fall off.

It is really nice to have exercise a part of my routine. It gives me time to myself, and it is really a super good stress reliever. Also, it has been fun getting to know Mindy better. I love ya, sis. ;)

2009 Resolutions

Happy New Year!!! I am looking forward to this year. It is a year dedicated to health and to the breaking of unhealthy habits for Brian and I. We have lots of appointments scheduled this year already. Next week we will be seeing the eye doctor, the dentist, and later this month I am going to Harborview. Emma already had her well child check-up and she is up-to-date with her immunizations. So she is set for another 6 months.

I am glad to go to the eye doctor. I need a pair of glasses. Brian broke my last pair, but thats what I get for leaving them on the floor. lol. I have a bad habit of sleeping with my contacts on, I know its gross and not healthy, but I am trying to change. That is why I want glasses, I can wear my contacts throughout the day and just throw on my glasses at night, we like to snuggle up and watch movies on the couch, and I usually just fall asleep...and that is how my bad habit started.

My Resolutions for 2009:
1. Work to have super healthy teeth, and a whiter smile. :)
2. Get more contacts and CHANGE them everyday!
3. Get a pair of cute glasses.
4. Grow out my hair.
5. Donate blood, more than last year.
6. Workout while Emma is at school.
