New Years Resolutions

Well, I'm doing the traditional.."lose weight" for my New Years Resolution this year. But along with that, is starting healthy eating habits for myself and for my family...forever. It's too easy to get on the junk food path and I don't want the kids to grow up that way and to struggle with their weight like both of their parents have. To help get kick-started, Tom and I are competing with Jody and Brian. The "losers" (whoever loses the least) has to buy tickets for a Tigers game that the four of us will go to this summer. I'm glad that Tom is on board, too. He is going to try the Weight Watchers plan, and so far he's doing good, and helping me stay on track too!

My other resolution, which I've been working on the last couple of months, is to buy less and get rid of more. House is too cluttered and without much for storage space, I just can't be keeping so much stuff for so long. So, I really want to focus on getting rid of things that we don't need or don't use, and buying only things that we really need. Hopefully this will help to save some money and get some debt paid off too!!

I think I did pretty good with last new year's resolution, which was to keep this blog updated. Blake's scrapbook is done through age 2 and a little beyond. Cora's has some work to do, but I'll get there... :-)
