New Year's Resolutions

Every previous year it's been my tradition to never have any New Year's Resolutions. Maybe because I didn't have a baby, but instead all the free time in the world. 

So I'm starting a new to me tradition of having resolutions for 2013.

First:

To start our training back up in February and be ready to run another half marathon in May. SmithCale is already carbo-loading for it. (I'll also accept suggestions for which one! Dallas/Ft. Worth area, please!) Then I'd like a new road bike for my birthday to start the journey towards a triathlon, because SmithCale broke my current bike with stray trash <-sadly, another true story

Second: 

Since SmithE routinely goes to bed at 6 p.m., God bless her, I'd like to not only begin a work-out DVD, but routinely FINISH a work-out DVD including stretching instead of stopping at 30-35 minutes. (Since Christmas I'm already doing better on this! I stopped my plyocide DVD with only 4 minutes left! Baby steps)

Third:

Spend quality time with SmithE every time she's awake, because everyone says they grow up too fast.  I'd rather bounce her on the bed and listen to her ridiculously cute giggle, seriously heart melting, than mop my floors anyway. 

                                                     

The list seems a little selfish, but that's what resolutions are for right, RIGHT?  And I know better than to ask God for things like patience or any other potential cringe-worthy character building. Newborn was enough for one year, thank you. 

Fourth: 

To actual utilize a babysitter. Many have offered but none have been accepted. It's time to go see a movie or eat at a restaurant again.

Fifth:

Get more involved with any ladies events and not let SmithCale guilt me into being lazy, sooo hard to resist. 

Any resolutions for your 2013?

Food for a New Year,
