Y3W: Keeping Those Resolutions!

One Month Down! 

well almost...

January is coming to a close and this is when resolutions start to break. 

I made a couple of new years resolutions...

1. Lose weight (isn't it almost on everyone's list of resolutions?)

2. Along with the above - get healthy - I've made appointments with my dentist, optometrist, and a chiropractor.

3. Start running and working out.

Yes, one through three are pretty much all the same.

4. Get organized around the house.

I've been doing pretty well with resolutions one through three, next Monday will be a month on my new diet and workout routine so we'll see what the results for January are then. I've been doing the couch to 5k program and the 30 day shred DVD. I gave up soda, until yesterday I had craving for a diet Dr. Pepper and caved. Drinking soda won't be a regular for me though, maybe a once a month treat. 

I went to the chiropractor last week, had x-rays and all the testing done to find why I continuously have lower back problems. Results were not to surprising. I have crooked hips, which I've been told before, but it's essentially causing my spine to zig zag and the surrounding nerves to tense up. So he suggests I go for adjustments 3 times a week for 3-4 weeks to begin and do all the testing again to see the results and where we need to go from there. Dentist and optometrist appointments are next week. 

As for getting organized - were slowly getting there, tackling one project at a time. As I said the other day, we've sorted through all our clothes, boxed them up or sent them to be donated. I've began to scan and clear up all the paperwork around the house and trying to go as paperless as we can in 2011. Hopefully this weekend we'll be able to tackle our garage and storage room downstairs, sorting what we want to keep, possibly sell in a garage sale, etc.
