My word of the year for 2011 is "Commitment". Instead of throwing out random resolutions, I have made it a priority to create goals that are focused around this word "commitment". I will commit to focus on my health.....Brad and I began P90 X the last week of December. We are now on Day 22 and I can honestly say that I am so glad that I have taken on this challenge. Believe me, it is challenging. You have to do a different work out each day, focusing on a different area and you work out for a minimum of 45 minutes. Brad and I are doing it together, which has helped so much. I am a strong believer in having an accountability partner. Some days I just don't wanna, but Brad has been there to encourage me and push me to give my best. I feel like a different person and I honestly feel like this work out has allowed me to be a better wife and mother. I know that sounds strange, but it is amazing how spending a little time on yourself each day can make the world of difference.
In 2011, I am focusing on my commitment to my children and my husband. I want to really work with Brayden at least 3 days a week on his reading. He is really enjoying it, and the time that he gets to spend alone with Mommy. Everyone needs that special one on one time, so I am committed to putting forth the effort to have that with both of my children and my husband as well. Exercising has become another way for Brad and I to connect and have that alone time, but I know that we need to focus on time alone without the children so that we can grow together, have fun, and remember who we are as a couple.
In 2011, I am focusing on my commitment to myself. I don't think that I honestly pay enough attention to myself or my own needs. I think that comes with the territory when you are a mom, but I can definitely see that I have lost that desire to get to know myself. There are so many things that I want to do this year. Take a dance class, read a new book each month, learn to sew, get in the best shape of my life, spend more time with my girlfriends, and focus on growing my relationship with God.
So far, I am off to a good start with my resolutions and I will continue to focus on the things that will allow me to be further committed to my health, myself, and my family. I am so thankful for all of the blessings that I have in my life and I am looking forward to an AWESOME 2011!
