2*0*0*9

Happy New Year! I extend, to all those who some how come across this blog, a prayer that you and your families have a great '09. The economy's not so wonderful right now and we should all be prepared someway or another....I wish you the best and hope no jobs will be lost, houses taken, or shortages of food, and for your health and safety as well.

I have two big resolutions for the new year.....

1) I am cutting out the junk food, late nights, s t r e s s, and my UNmotivation to get to the gym. I need to get my body healthy again! I feel sick way too much for my age and I know its because of the way I treat my body. I have no energy, eat candy and bad snacks, drink too much soda and think way to much about things that don't really matter, and on top of that, my sleep patterns are all wacky. I need some healthy recipes/foods, advice on a good workout regime, maybe good suggestions for books to keep my mind busy and just some motivation. If you have any thoughts please let me know! :)

2) This is more of a family resolution between Jordan and me.... well we decided to make a budget with our money... I have usually been good with balancing my "wants" and "needs" with my money but sometimes I just get that urge to splurge... As I look back at the things we bought and how much they were my stomach just turns. Half the stuff we don't even USE! Ah. So it's a good thing Jordan brought up this great idea. We plan to be very organized and more wise with our spending... I just know how much Jordan likes his toys, this is going to be hard for him. Me too, but I think if we just work together it will all be fine!
