This is something that I have not blogged about recently. Mostly because I fell off the wagaon and hit the bottom...hard! I gave up on my weight loss goals for the holidays. And in the process gained 5 pounds. This puts me above the dreaded weight that I never thought I would get to. So now I have a saying in my head that I repeat over and over again. A new year a new me! We are 17 days into this new year and it is hard to work on the new me. I am so set in my ways of eating bad and drinking soda. I can go a week with out drinking one, then the weekend comes, we will order a pizza, and bam I am drinking a dam soda again.

I am going to conquer this. How hard can it be to not drink soda. Am I that lazy that I can not come up with something else to drink? I think not. I am going to update at least once weekly if not more. I am going to be real and sometimes not so pretty. I have to get it out there. I think this will help me! Here goes.

Todays weight 200 pounds :(

I am going to set some mini goals. Once I accomplish these I will set more. The first one is to stop drinking soda. This includes diet soda. Second one is to be more active. I am going to try and get 30 minutes of activity in every day. This one may kill me. Third one is to be more positive about myself. I am a great person and deserve to feel that way.

Wish me luck. So far today I have had coffee with equal and non dairy creamer, kix cereal with 2% milk, stephanina's pizza and salad, and a diet dr pepper. Dinner is going to be a bit hard to be healthy but I am taking baby steps. Here is to a soda free night and week!! A new year a new me!!

So there is not much going on in the world of waxes. The first of the year is going by fast just like 2010 did. This year is going to bring some much needed change but it is not here yet. I have 11 more weeks of massage therapy school. I am so excited to be done and able to build a small side business. I am going to massage at my home as well as go to people's homes. If you know anyone who needs a massage just let me know. I am going to take a few months off from school and then I plan on taking a few classes again. Yes I am on my way to becoming a life long student. I love learning and want to acheive big things for my family and myself!
Jaxon continues to do great in school. Just got his report card and he got all A's again. I am so incredibly proud that this smart interesting child is my son. I love him so much. Rena has recently started speech therapy. She is super excited about it and works really hard at learning new things. I am looking forward to seeing her improve and grow. Layne is as always awesome at school. Sometimes I think she is smarter than me already! She is going to grow up to be an intelligent women. We are so proud of all our children and really could not ask for a better group.
I am blessed to have a happy healthy family. the next few months are going to be filled with school and work but there is llight at the end of this long tunnel.

Christmas and New Year 2010

Our white Christmas

Grandpa reading the Bible

Christmas was very special this year. Tim and I gpt to take some muc needed time off from work and school and get to enjoy each other and our family. We have a tradition to get together Christmas Eve and eat drink and of course open our Christmas p,j.'s. This year we had family at our house. We had a great ttime and loved out pajamas.

Christmas morning was spent at my mom and dad's house. We had great food and got wonderful things fdrom everyone. The on to Christmas afternoon. This is the best part! We got to have all the kiddos together. All kids lined up on the couch and waited patiently to open presents one at a time. We went on order from youngest to oldest. They came down from the couch and everyone watched them open one gift. They were all so well behaved and had an awesome time opening everything from mom, dad and santa. We all had a wonderful time and got grea gifts. I love Christmas and really can not wait until we get to do it again net year!!

New year was spent quietly at home. My children were at their fathers this year and Layne had a lock in at her church. So Tim and I were on our own. We stayed in and played games and just enjoyed spending time together. It was fantastic!!

We did not make any resolutions but we did make plans and ideas for the coming year. We plan to accomplish a lot in 2011. Just a sampling of a few of the things that are in my plans: I am going to finish school and start a massage business of my own. I am going to eat healthy and incorporate fitness in to my daily schedule. There are many more things I want to get done and I will continue to update!!! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you luck in the new year.
