Is it too late to come up with New Year's resolutions? I sort of lost track of time and never got around to doing it when normal people do. Haha, perhaps my resolution should be better time management.
Actually, all of my resolutions this year involve taking better care of myself.
I feel like I spend most of my time taking care of others or taking care of the house, and I've really neglected taking care of myself. I don't mean taking care of myself mentally or emotionally. I feel pretty on track in that regards, and I'm actually very happy with how my life is and where it is going.
I mean taking care of myself physically. This involves much more than just losing weight, the traditional New Year's Resolution- although it does involve that too- Fo Sho. It's just time to get a skin care regimen firmly in place and break out the Ped-Egg too. LOL.

What inspired this resolution was a quiet night at home, with the two older kids upstairs watching a movie in their playroom, and myself and the hubby watching tv on the couch downstairs with the baby.
I looked over, and for a second there, my husband reminded me so much of how he looked when we first started dating/got engaged/got married.
I put that into one category because all of this took place within 10 months. -He pretty much looked the same during that time.

It brought a smile to my face to think that at that time in our lives, how I never would have imagined our lives being how they are now. Living in Houston?? Never in a million years. 3 kids within 6 years of marriage? Crazy. 3 kids period? Insane I tell you. haha.
Wow, how life changes.
However, here he was looking pretty much the same.

For a second I swear I had a flashback, and when I looked down I expected to see this 20 year old girl to match what I was seeing with him, and what I saw instead sort of made me sad. I say sort of, because I really do not have body issues. Surprisingly. :) I'm actually pretty happy with myself even though I'm not in denial that I need to lose weight. I needed to lose about 25 lbs when I met my husband and here I am weighing 55lbs more than I did then. Having just had a baby is really no excuse since I only have 5 lb left from Liam. The 70 I gained from the first baby is still holding on strong though, haha. Well, about 45 of it anyway. I'd only lost about 45 of the 70 when we became pregnant with Rylan and I gained all 45 back.
My point is, I'd like to start taking care of myself physically, so that one day my husband can look over and say, "Wow, you look just as good as the day we got married."
Time to break out those free weights from the garage and pull in that stationary bike. I think a double jogger is on my "To Buy" list, as is some spray on fake tanner. LOL. Maybe it's time to start getting facials? haha
So, in black and white, my goals are:
To get down to my pre-wedding weight.
To tone up.
To start doing regular pedicures and manicures.
To be more strict about my skincare routine.
Perhaps I've been watching too much Bravo and too many marathons of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills...
but, I'm motivated to start looking better. :) Keep me accountable, will ya?
Oh, and I also have some goals for my house this year too. I just need to snap some photos of my current disasters and I'll be back sometime this week to share.
