Today was a great day, I was up and ready for the day, I spent most of my morning cleaning at the church, afterwards I sat down for fifteen minutes and then the hubby and I were up and moving again. Ran errands, paid a bill, went to the store, and then came home. Relaxed for about and hour or so. Hubby had to go back to work so in the 2 hours that he was gone I was up and on my feet. Made a pile of clothes that don't fit for the good will. Organized my dresser and my closet, and cut the hubby's hair. Id say its been a pretty productive day over all.
The best part of today was we went out and not once did I ask to stop and get a burrito or a burger and when we got home I made something we had here in the house. It was great. I also was on my feet a lot today which was even more great. I hope in keeping this up I will lose weight. Not putting a goal or limit on it. Nope this year I am just going to be more conscience and get up and move more.
I really don't have much else to say. I feel like I am ranting. Any way it feels good to actually sit and relax from having a day of movement... This I think is how it should feel everyday.
Well ciao for now. Have a good night all and thank you for taking the time to read my boringness :)

New Year
Well so far this New year has started out well, I am happy with things in my life. There are a few things I wish I had a little more control over... okay well one major thing, but alas its really out of my hands, I think I am patiently impatiently learning this through time. It is rather frustrating but I know in time it will all work out, just not in my time, like right now... like how I want it to with me being the one in control of it.
At any rate so far since New Years I have made the most of it. The beginning of this year has started off great, I spent the first day with family. I love my family and we had a blast. We went and saw Enders Game and I am so glad we did it was such an awesome movie! My second day was just as good. I was able to spend it with my eldest niece, we went bowling. Something I have not done in quite some time, and if you saw how I walked today you would know that that is true. I am so sore!
Today I went back to work after being sick Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday I thankfully had off because of the holiday and yesterday I had PTO due to other arrangements I had made. The blessing was that my niece happened to come up and so it made my PTO even more worth it, at any rate. Work was pretty low key and the best part of my day was finding out that I had 6 additional days of pto I had no idea the company was giving me. Score.... now what to do with it all!
So for New Years I decided that I wasn't going to make any resolutions. I am feeling good about that decision. I however am excited for the accomplishments I would look forward to having this year.
Accomplishment one: To be either debt free or pretty darn close to it. I work hard for my money and I am so tired of giving it away. Not going to do it anymore. Feeling pretty focused on this right now. Though I will say its not making it very easy on me for trying to plan vacations.... there is so much I want to do!
Accomplishment two: Soda. So far I have done super super good on this. I stopped having soda at the beginning of November I did super well. I decided to splurge on Christmas day, New years eve, New years day and yesterday. I didn't go over board and in all honest kicking the habit has paid off. I am not craving it. I didn't have caffeinated soda on purpose i was afraid that would pull me in and be hard to walk away from for those " special occasion" moments. So far it has worked well I didn't go running for a soda at work today so id say that is progress.
Accomplishment three: Eat out less. I have noticed lately that I just don't feel good when I eat fast food. My stomach has just been definitely sending me the "stop feeding me this junk" signals. Trust me stomach, I think I am taking the hint. I just want to have it on an occasion. Like road trip, or anniversary or birthday, or because your parents call you up and would just like to go out, seems more reasonable and I honestly think I will greatly enjoy those moments more.
Accomplishment four: Get off the couch! Okay so for those that may not know I work a desk job. I get up in the morning, get ready for work, and then I get there and I sit on my butt literally in front of a desk all day. Even on my 2 15's and 1 30 minute break. Um LAME! I have decided that On my 15's I am going to walk. Go outside ( well maybe in the spring/ summer) other times ill be indoors in the break room, but i am going to get moving. That's 30 more minutes then I am doing now of walking. On top of that when I get home I will not sit on the couch no way, this past year was ridiculous. You know when you were a kid and your parents sent you outside... well there was a reason for it. I was literally thinking about this today. So from now on my goal when I get home is to get moving. I can do chores, zumba, take a walk outside ( depending on weather) go walking at a gym or mall or something anything as long as my behind doesn't touch a couch or a chair until dinner is on the table.
Accomplishment five: Get Organized. I have a lot of stuff, and technically there is plenty of space, it is just that my stuff doesn't have its own space, it is just kinda out of place. This year is going to be busy on organization, and not being such a pack rat, I mean honestly I don't know why I would need it if its just sitting in a box.. its like my cook books for example I have close to 35 I am sure... and I know for a fact I am not using them all... I think I am going to keep my " go to cook books, and either pack my other ones or ship them out to a good will.... Its time to clean house... or maybe I could sell them... at any rate something needs to be done lol.
Well that's about all I have to write so far. I know in time I will have more accomplishments, but for now I am happy with these. Feeling motivated.... ( well kinda...lol right now I'm feeling tired but on the inside I'm feeling motivated.... I just need some sleep first lol)
Thanks for taking the time to read my oh so boring posts :) ciao for now.
