Two Goals

I love me some good goal-setting. For about two weeks... maybe. Then I usually slump back into regular life. Just sayin. So here it goes... a few ideas/inspirations/goals for 2013. Or maybe just January.

1) More Yoga. And Zumba.
2) Less TV. Less FB.

That's it. Attainable. But not easy. At least not for this mama, stuck in her habits of 2012.

So how did Day 1 go? (I don't count Jan. 1st... Brody and I were having a chill day, plus I wanted to rebel against the bandwagon a tiny bit). Day 1 went relatively well! I did an hour of yoga, right after Brody went to bed. AMAZING. Why do I forget to do something that feels so wonderful? Seriously, I ended in the corpse pose (not as scary as it sounds if you're a yoga newbie) and could feel the warm, liquidy, delicious healing vibes running through my body. Why would I ever deny my body of that pleasure?! Who knows. But I hope to keep it rocking through the end of this week. As for zumba... maybe this weekend :) Goal number 2... definitely cut back on the FB today. I didn't check it at work, but it is crazy how often I just pick up my phone and start browsing out of habit. How did I pass the time before smartphones??? Maybe this is a part of why adults feel they have ADD.

As for the rest of my evening... tried to make the most of the short time with my Brodyman because I had to work late. We shared some goldfish crackers, chased the dog, he splashed around in the tub, and was out by 7:45. I also did a double take looking for my dog:

 

Can you see him better in my Instagram version? Filters rock.

 

And I realize our TV is kind of ridiculous for the size of this apartment. But we paid cash back when we got it two years ago, so I don't feel too bad about it.

 

Finished up the night with a glass of wine and my planner. Mama nerd alert!



 

Happy 2013 friends! Wishing you the best this year and reminding you that although you may set lofty goals and not always reach them, you tried. And that's called living.

Been so long since I've blogged I forgot a title/blogger totally changed!

January 1st, 2013. A New Year. Social media is full of promises, wishes, and reflection. Although I am a sucker for fresh starts, hope, goal setting, and planners, today I kept it low-key with my boy.

We played with a few new toys, made up some of our own, giggled, and snuggled. We experimented with toddler snack cups full of cheerios. Opened drawers and gnawed on everything inside. Drool literally poured out of Brody's mouth today. He almost looks like a Halloween character... his top four are struggling to break through with jagged corners sticking out here and there.

 

B can almost walk. He can practically run across the room while pushing his musical walker or scooty car thing. He can race up the stairs. He is action packed and doesn't seem to be afraid of anything (except loud sneezes). Today I packed up his size 12 month clothing, even my favorite monster fleece jammies. We ate pizza for dinner. He drank regular whole milk, not breast milk or formula. He smiled at everyone we saw at Target instead of shying away. Mama tried to get some extra snuggles before bed by singing and rocking but Brody just wanted to be put down in his crib. Damn it. We sleep trained him too well! ha

January 1st, 2013. The day my baby became 11 months old. And I realized he's almost not a baby anymore.
