Happy New Year!!

Well, it's officially 2012!  K & I spent the last few hours of 2011 with his family drinking wine and playing cards in our pajamas.  It was a very relaxing & fun evening!
Instead of making a resolution this year, I am going to set goals for myself.  In 2010, I made a resolution to lose weight.  It took me about a year and a half, but I lost 100 lbs!  I felt so amazing, both physically and mentally.

Before

After

I felt amazing the day I walked down the aisle to marry the love of my life.  But since getting married, I have been in a bit of a funk.  Now don't get me wrong, I couldn't be happier anywhere else, but I have made a lot of changes in the last few months....  I moved over an hour away from my family & best friend, started a new job and am just trying to get adjusted to the married life.  My jeans are tighter, and I am afraid to step on the scale, because I know I have put on weight.
With that said, here are my goals for 2012...

• Find healthy recipes that K & I will both enjoy.  Make weekly menus using the recipes I find & use them to make my weekly grocery list.  This will not only help us eat healthy, but it will save us money by only buying the items I need for that week's menu.  
• Use my NordicTrack Incline Trainer (I just ordered!)  for at least 30 minutes 5 days a week.  
• Learn how to use coupons to get the most for my money!  I'm not talking extreme couponing, but I would like to save money by clipping coupons and looking at ads to get the lowest price.  I love saving money!  :-)

A year ago, I never imagined I would be where I am now.  I am truly blessed & can't wait to see what 2012 has in store!  Happy New Year!
