New Year's resoultions. . .

Well we are into the 3rd month of the year and I thought I would check in and see how I am doing with my New Year's resolutions. . .

1. Do more "M.A.D." (make a difference) things with Andy and the kiddos. Such as volunteering together. We kind of slacked off on that a bit last year. I won't go into all the details of things, but I think we as a family are doing much better at this one than I expected. This makes me happy. I hope we can keep it up. I also feel like some "M.A.D." things have been done for us as well. It's been a good start to 2011. :)
2. Get back into my Wii Fit rountine each day. I kind slacked off on that in the month of December. I've been doing much better with this as well... probably an hour a day or so... and I've added Just Dance to the routine which the kids and Andy can do with me. Though I am no where near the 1.5-2 hrs I was doing this time last year. I need to get back to that level and knock off a few lbs. :)
   
3. Finish my Esther bible study and continue to deepen my personal relationship with Christ. I am ashamed to say that I haven't even picked up the Esther study. I have thought about it SEVERAL times, but it is always right before bed and I opt to go to sleep instead. I will get to this TODAY!
   
4. Less Facebooking. Not so much. Meaning I am still on Facebook WAY too much!
   
5. Less Shopping. Check. Just ask my husband or check our bank account! ha! :) I hope I can keep this up! :)
   
6. Less spending. Kinda goes along with the last one. Except maybe I've spent a little too much on some Lalaloopsy dolls for the kids, but have you seen them... they are so cute. I... I mean... Emma is dying for this one...
   
7. I need to continue to SIMPLIFY in this year. I did a bit of that last year, but I need to continue in the new year. Simplifying even more. I think we've been doing this one for sure. We cleaned out closets and giving gobs of old toys and clothes to Goodwill and to others who need them more than we do. Trying to get rid of the excess, but of course this is something I need to constantly try and keep under control.
   

Overall, I think I've been doing okay sticking to these resolutions. Hopefully, I will start back with my Esther Bible study soon and lay off the facebooking a bit. I'll check in again in a few months.
