First Blog Post & New Year’s Resolutions!

We finally did it! We have a blog! We have so much that has gone on in our lives and I figured that since I stopped writing in my journal, I should probably start blogging or I’m gonna start forgetting things! I’m excited to start writing about our days J

Well, here we are. New Year and new goals! Or maybe the same goals just restarting. Whatever. I love New Year’s resolutions. They make me feel like I have a goal that I’m working toward and a newfound motivation to get my butt in gear! 

I have quite a few goals for this year & I’m going to list them (not in any particular order):

      

1. Complete insanity workout (60 days)

2.  Attend yoga class

3. Spiritual study & meditation

4. Be more peaceful and patient & happy

5. Do something with Noah and Elijah everyday (one on one & together)

6.  Eat more clean, healthy and whole foods & Cut down on processed foods and red meat

7. NO fast food

8. Complete the no sugar challenge @ thegraciouspantry.com

9.Complete the 14 weekly pledges @ 100daysofrealfood.com

10. Simplify

11. Learn, research, study something in depth: My choice? Yoga!

I know I have more that I am forgetting but I’ll remember and list them later. All of these goals started on January 2^nd 2013. I feel these goals will impact my life for the better. That is why I am trying to accomplish them. Because I love a challenge and I love myself. Juan is doing most of my goals with me and I appreciate that more than anything. It helps motivate me and keep me on track.

So far I have completed a modified no sugar challenge. I did one week without ANY added sugars. Then the second week I did natural added sugars. Hormones kicked in and I needed some honey stat! I also completed week one of the 14 weekly pledges. It wasn’t difficult. We eat fruits/veggies with every meal anyways. We don’t have any unhealthy junk food in the house. We weren’t really that into it anyways. After 

I had Elijah I was all about the unhealthy stuff! But then my cravings kinda died. I like that Noah is so young that he goes along with whatever we do. We don’t have chips? Fine, he’ll go grab a rice cake or some raisins. We still have fruit snacks and goldfish crackers and twizzlers. Those are Noah’s most favorite snacks! Both Juan and I are excited for this new healthy clean whole eating journey we are on and we are extremely grateful for the friends who support us! Yesterday my beautiful vegetarian friend Pam brought us some brownies made out of black beans. I can’t wait to make them myself, they were delicious!

That is our first post! What did you think? Leave comments porfavor
