Epic Fail!

I went back to look at my New Years resolutions from this year only to realize that the entire list can be stamped with a giant EPIC FAIL!  Here is the run down.
  • Lose weight! I make this resolution every year and I have been pretty good about it the last couple of years. This year I gained a bunch. I chalking it up to being stressed and too busy to work out. I am resolving to make time for myself to do it this year.
    • This is the only one that I really have an excuse for, being pregnant makes it pretty hard to lose weight.  Next year for sure! 
  • Find a hobby for myself
    • I have not found a hobby yet.  I want one!  I am hoping that I can find a hobby that Terence and I can do together starting next year.  Some kind of athletic hobby or something.
  • Spend more quality time with my boys- a lot of the time when we get home from work we are tired and just want to sit down and watch some TV or something. I am realizing that my boys are growing up so fast and I don't want to miss it. I am resolving to spend a lot less time watching TV and a lot more time playing cars, or trains, or whatever it takes with my boys.
    • I don't feel like I did any better with this one this year.  Now they are a year older and another year gone. That makes me sad.  I'm hoping that being home with them and a new baby will give me some more quality time.
  • Continue writing my blog- I have loved the experience of keeping a (almost) daily journal. I have been going back over the last couple of weeks and reading previous blogs and I love it. There are so many little details that I don't remember that I have written down. My goal is another 365 blogs for 2011.
    • as you can see from my left hand menu I have not done anywhere near that number this year.  I regret it!  I know there are things that I have missed because I did not write them down. 
  • Drink more water- I drink way too much diet coke (wait is there such a thing?)
    • I have consumed less diet coke this year but not more water.  The diet coke has been replaced by my current guilty pleasure, Diet Dr. Pepper.
  • Get 8 hours of sleep a night/get Corey sleeping in his own bed all night every night.
    • Fail and fail!  Corey still sleeps in our bed almost every night and I am not going to bed early enough.  Which makes getting up in the morning equally as difficult.
  • Try playing the violin again- maybe that could be my hobby I do for myself.
    • I think my violin might still be at my Opa's house.  I still want to do this but I have not done it this year.
Maybe I will do better next year.  Or maybe I will just be less ambitious!
