New Year - 2015

I haven't blogged in months, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm supposed to be revealing/recording my New Year's Resolutions.  I don't know why I'm such a "New Years Resolution-er"...but I can't seem to help myself.  There's something exciting about a new year: a time to refresh, start-over, and change habits.

If I made a list of all of the things I want to accomplish this year, it would be ridiculous (so I'm going to limit it to 5):

1. Lose Weight.  I'd like to weigh about 130 lbs.  The fact that I'm pregnant and weigh closer to 170 lbs makes this goal feel sooo unrealistic.  But since little one is due in February, I know it's possible.
2. Read more books.  Last year my goal was to read 25 books...I read 14 (whomp whomp).  Truthfully, I was pleased.  It's hard to read with a toddler at home.  This year, I've made my goal 16 books.  Feels doable!  Hopefully I can get a jump-start while I'm on maternity leave.
3. Cook more.  Turns out, I don't hate cooking, but I do hate the prep-work: planning, shopping, planning...  This year, my goal is just once a week.  Y'all, this would be a sad improvement.
4. Workout, go on a walk, or stretch EVERYDAY.  I'm giving myself a little "learning curve" time on this one since I'm pregnant and will have a newborn soon. But, I want this to become habit by the end of March.
5. Create yearly photo albums, starting with 2013.

There are a bunch of other things I would like to do.  I'd love to be more organized, crafty, and level-headed.  I'd like to wake-up earlier and spend time with my cup of coffee.  But 5 things feels good.  I'm excited!
