Pondering Resolutions....

With the New Year approaching, I have been pondering what sort of resolutions I want to adhere to.  The usual suspects come up: better with finances, better with health, better with time management....

It's time to get very serious with budgeting both finances and time.  I really hope my husband gets more involved with our budgeting and finances.  It's important that we both know what is going on and we are both on the same page.  Maybe now that he is graduating he will have more time to get involved in this area?  Also I want to manage my time better.  I go go go but I need to be more effective in balancing multiple things.

Then of course there is health.  I need and want to get healthier.  I know how to be healthy but sugar and white carbs call my name - oh the unjustice!  What my mind and heart is telling me though is that I need to be more vegan in my eating style (Keegan and I (and my sis the famous Aunt Kiki!) are lacto-ovo vegetarians - we will consume dairy and eggs).  I don't think I will ever be fully vegan but I want to eat that way the majority of the time.  But it also goes beyond that.  I also want to eat more whole foods, grains, fruits, vegetables, etc. and not as much processed food. I have some awesome books and other resources along this line and so I need to start reading them more and utilizing all the information.  How motivating and reinforcing it can be if I actually read and watch the resources I have access too! 

I should watch the documentary Forks Over Knives again on Netflix (instant stream) this week - it is a must see!  I also have the Kind Life Diet book by Alicia Silverstone and almost the whole Skinny Bitch collection.

This is just weighing heavy on me lately. 


Excited to get some resolutions on paper soon and start action plans!
