I know that we are already well into January and that everyone has been talking about their New Year's Resolutions. Well, I have decided that instead of resolutions, I am going to think of some solutions to a few of my issues that plague me in my life and in my home.
1. ORGANIZATION: What the crap does that even mean? Well for me, it means simply this... A Place For Everything and Everything in its Place.... I have sooooo much crafting stuff that I have decided to try to get it all put away neatly and somewhere where I can actually find it when I need it... Along with a list of what I have and how much of it... (I don't know about some of you, but when I go to the craft stores, I end up picking up items that I already have a ton of, but I can't quite remember where I stashed it...)
I have also decided that i am going to try to organize my life a little. Being a stay at home mom, leaves me with stuff to get done everyday, and somedays, I can't remember what I have or haven't done... So I am going to try to put together something to help me accomplish my daily goals and keep my life in order instead of living in chaos.
2. DIETING/WEIGHT LOSS/EXERCISE: Well, what can I say... I have become frumpy over the years and I honestly can no longer use my kids as an excuse for the "Mommy Belly" I have... (son is 6 and daughter is 9)... I have tried many things over the years to help lose the weight, but nothing has worked. So I gave in and went to the doctor and said "HELP ME"... Well, they did and because I haven't really been taking good enough care of my self, I have made my body go crazy and say ok you are now diabetic... Type 2, so the effects are reversable... So the doc has put me on a very strict (extremely LOW carb diet) I am allowed only 30 carbs per major meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and 15 carbs per snack... Later this week i will explain what carbs are and how they work in your body.... I am also suppose to exercise for 30 minutes a day... (I have to work slowly to get to these levels because if I start out with all of this at once, I will just quit, and then, i will never get healthy...
3. PROJECTS: Getting crafty is a fun and relaxing time for me... I am hoping that this year I will be able to get my craft on... I will start posting the items I am creating along with pictures. Hopefully I can get my buisness slowly working to start making some money on some of the things I create.
So I will keep you all up to date on my progress with all of this...
