Set myself up to fail?

Nope! That's why I don't make New Year's Resolutions.
I do however HOPE that I can achieve such and such and do better in this and that.
But if I don't allow myself for mistakes I sure can beat up on myself!

With that being said. Daddy is back to his gung ho workout schedule. He would like to improve on his weight lifting days but on his running days (3-4 times a week), he is running at LEAST 8 miles. I would love to be able to run ONE mile again. sigh...

I found a new workout buddy. Her name is Dawn and she is helping me stay inspired to go to the gym in the mornings. Well at least hoping I would GET inspired. We met when we ran the Dirty Dash. We do weights Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. I haven't been doing much of any cardio though. But....hold on to your hats...I text Dawn Saturday morning to see if she wanted to go for a WALK with me. She said ok and I had just woke her up. THEN I looked outside because I thought I had heard snowplows for the first time this winter. Yep! It snowed. I asked her if she had looked outside yet. She said she had but we both still wanted to go. She has been fighting the same kind of foot problems and discouragement I have. Sooo....off we went for our walk. Since it wasn't going to be for very long and it was a walk, neither one of us took our Garmin watches. But we did end up running a little bit and it felt GOOD!! Of course we did some downhill but we also fit some killer uphills in too. Not long ones but for us they were a mile stone. The total distance was about 3 miles with almost one mile running.

I also went to my first 2012 cycling class this morning at 5:00 AM!!! I didn't even know my alarm had numbers before 5:00 am.

So far this year (part being Christmas break), Doran and I installed a new bathroom cabinet, sink, light fixture, mirror and painted the walls. We would like to get new flooring but that will have to wait.

I made cushion covers for a recliner and dejunked one bathroom and our bedroom closet.
I have turned all my remaining hangers with clothes on them around backwards. If they haven't been used and turned around by July 1, they too will find a new home.

This week I am working on my kitchen cabinets. This may take a couple of weeks.

If anyone is good or even NOT good but likes to hang pictures and such up, come on over. I so want to hang my stuff up but I don't know where to put things. ugh!!

Look! I posted!!

Oh! And I signed up for the Story at Home Conference in March. I guess I better get myself back in the blogging mood.

Until next time....
