Gidde up

Well I wish like crazy I had blogged about the last trip Cory and I took. It was a doosey. But its to late now, I don't remember enough details. So on to the next post and the new year.
It was a really fun Christmas. The whole week off all the way through the new year was very nice and relaxing. I enjoyed my husband and my children and all my extended family as well. There are several things I plan on implementing into my life this year, call them resolutions if you must. What ever you call them I am more excited about them this year then ever before. I think maybe its because I believe in my self on a different level. I think I really have grown up this past year. I was telling my sister Danita that a few days ago and we kind of laughed about it but I think its true.


I found this draft and think it is totally funny because today is Jan. 11 2011. I could copy and paste the part about Christmas vacation. It was a great holiday! And I'm cracking up about "growing up". I don't know what I was selling...



I have been on and off the "I don't make resolutions so I don't have to break them" train. I honestly wish I'd have finished my thought in the first paragraph because I don't even remember what my new resolutions, (that I was so excited about) were. Maybe I wrote about them in my journal?



Well my new goals this year are...

Two 3 week clenses. Once in January, then again in July. I'm finishing day two and feeling great. The cleanse is simple eat as much as you want of fruits and vegetables. I also eat raw nuts for protein. I did the same cleanse 3 years ago for 6 consecutive weeks and lost 40 lbs. I never felt or looked better. The weight stayed off for a full year then after two more years I'm still down 15 lbs. from 3 years ago. I hope to lose 15 to 20 lbs. on this 3 weeks then maintain by jogging 2 miles a day and not eating after 7pm.



I am going to finish my first picture book. I thought "Rodeo Pigs" was finished but after much consideration I have decided to lengthen it. It was just a short board book length, but after some advice from Kathi Appelt I have decided to make it full picture book length, 32 pages.



And lastly I am continuing an on going resolution, to love myself. To alow myself to be myself and continue to discover my true self. I think that is what I was talking about in the first paragraph, the " believing in myself on a different level". I have truly changed over the last two years. I think for the better but some might argue that. No matter...
