Yesterday, I started my first day at working out again at my company's gym. It felt great to be back doing weights and hitting the treadmill. I plan to keep this workout routine daily at the gym, running or walking at least 2 miles or more each day. It's been like 8 months since I was able to have "free" time to squeeze it in. Now that we have a new or 4th analyst on the team at work, it's great to not having constant pressure to finish too much work.
I'm not big on New Year's resolutions, but since it's just the beginning of a new 2013 year, I do believe it's a good idea to have realistic achievable goals/visions and plans/road map well thought out so that we know what we've accomplished. So, here are my goals:
I'm not big on New Year's resolutions, but since it's just the beginning of a new 2013 year, I do believe it's a good idea to have realistic achievable goals/visions and plans/road map well thought out so that we know what we've accomplished. So, here are my goals:
- Maintain good health. Aside from keeping up with my monthly Doctor visits and taking my vitamins/Xalkori pills twice per day, I've added working out and going to my weekly acupuncturist as part of my wellness goal.
- Keeping up with the kids learning and participating in activities so that they are well adjusted, be academically on target/challenged and well, inspires/fosters them to continuously be curious, learning and happy.
- Just live happily and with gratitude.
To achieve the second goal, the kids are already busy with starting back the following activities.
- Kumon for Ethan and Ellen
- Preschool for the girls, 5 days morning, 9-12 PM classes
- Swimming classes for all 3
- Dancing classes for girls
- Ellen and perhaps Emma will also be a ballet class so that by June, they will be performing at a recital to showcase their talent and hard work.
- Piano classes for Ethan and perhaps Ellen
- Soccer for Ethan
- Ethan's also already enrolled our local Evergreen Little League for Spring. Practice starts end of Feb and games start March. This will run through the end of the school year. Soccer should be ending when his baseball/tee ball begins.
- Weekly family movie nights/play dates and making time to hang out with friends and family. So, friends/family, keep inviting us to dinner/play dates/ Birthday parties, so that we can all catch up.
- Of course become cancer free/NED (No evidence of disease), if not continued stability is great too
- My hubby to quit smoking. I've order an E-cigarette kit so that he can hopefully kick it for good. My carpool buddy, tried the e-cigarette for 1-2 months and now he doesn't even crave a cigarette at all. That's pretty amazing. So, hopefully it works and a goal I hope my hubby accomplishes.
- Travelling more. I'd like to at least travel, to at least travel to Vietnam some day. Exploring the world and places would be ultimately be ideal (yeah, if we win a jackpot).
- Read good books, watch good movies, eat lots of good food.
