I have decided that I am old. As mentioned below, January is my focus on health month. Erik and I have been doing really well - motivating each other, putting up charts and stuff....however, it is 10:37 pm, I have just finished 55 minutes of P90 and Biggest Loser Workout and:
- I don't think I can make it up the stairs
- I was lucky to get out of bed this morning from last night's workout
- My knees have decided to stop functioning without pain (In fact, when its really quiet in the house and I walk down the stairs, I can seriously hear them creaking!)
Those of you under 30 years old - beware: its true that its harder to lose weight when you are older. Your body betrays you! I miss my 20's.

Is it January again?
Happy new year to all!! Of course, as the new year rolls around we are all engaged in new years resolutions: what we are going to do this year to make our lives more successful, rewarding, etc., etc. And of course, by January 15th, we can't remember what we were going to do this year to make our lives more successful, rewarding, etc., etc. Well this year is different. I know - I think I say that every year, but I mean it: This year, 2010, is different!!!
Petra was telling me the other day about an article she read called "The Happiness Project". Check here for details: http://thecollinsclique.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-happiness-project-2010.html.
This article takes the new years resolution idea and makes it more obtainable and more realistic. So world, here are my 12 ideas for my happiness project:
January - health
February -organization
March - relationship with hubby
April - finances
May - family history
June - education
August - cooking
September - kids
October - scripture study
November - thankfulness
December - true Christmas
My health happiness has already started! Erik got me the Wii Fit Plus for Christmas and I love it! Yes, I was slightly not happy when I originally opened it up - what was he trying to tell me??? But again I have to admit I was wrong, he was right - it was a fab gift. The kids love it and we have a ton of fun doing it as a family. E and I are also doing the Power 90 program for the next 90 days. Actually, Erik is doing Power 90X, I will stick with the lowly non-X. Rylie has become my workout buddy and does punches and kicking and jumping jacks while I'm Power 90-ing.
Through January my health goals in general are to:
1. Exercise more - 6 days a week.
2. Eat healthy foods.
3. Teach my kids about eating healthy.
More updates to come!
