Life Style Alterations

I realize I haven't blogged in quite some time. But I figured, what better time to pick it up again, than in a fresh new year?!

I'll first start off with my "life-style alterations" for 2012:
1. Take better care of my body and make more of an effort to being healthier.
I'm not talking crazy diets, but eating healthy foods and exercising. I know, I'm one of a million who resolve to "get in shape" this year, but it's more than that. It's about achieving a better lifestyle. I entered a "biggest loser" competition at work. My co-teacher and I are partners. I'm not really in it to win it, but I figured, if nothing else, paying into it will be motivation enough! Who wants to waste $25? I discussed my desire with Eric, and he jumped right on board! He also wants to be healthier and is making an effort to work out at as well this year. He mentioned how taking care of our bodies really isn't for us. It's for the people we love and for our future kids.

2.  Be more productive and less of a "noodlehead"
In our home, a "noodler" is someone who spends time "noodling" online. For me, it's facebook and my newest addiction, pinterest. For Eric, it's playing games and keeping up on the latest photography tips and trends. Rather than "noodling", I'd like to keep up with my scrapbooks, try new recipes, and read for pleasure. For Eric it's actually using his camera to perfect his photography skills. I recognize that come January 23rd, my free time will be pretty scarce, but until then, I'd like to at least finish scrapbooking the honeymoon!

Happy New Year! Here's to a great 2012!
