New Year Resolutions

The year for me, got a kick start of unexpected events, but things are looking brighter for the most part.  I hope everyone had a pleasant New Years.  Mine didn't go as planned, but then again, things are looking up.  Be thankful for your health, take your vitamins, and don't multi task too much...watch your step.  I'm constantly reminded of that now. 

Part of my New Years Resolutions is to exercise more, and when I mean exercise, I mean walking.  I'm not a gym person.  I once went to one, and enjoyed it, but with my working schedule, kids, and my commute, I don't know if I could dedicate my time and money on a gym membership.  I've found the best gym I've been to can be found in a good pair of walking shoes.  I can take them wherever and whenever I want, and I don't have to be in a room with sweaty, snooty, strangers..  I can walk in the fresh air, by the ocean, or with the weirdos downtown..

Today, I decided to take a break and walk downtown.  There weren't too many weirdos around.  The parking situation at work gave me the incentive of walking--I knew there would be a possibility that I wouldn't find a parking space if I drove my car.  It was a cold outside, but the walk downtown was a good decision.  I walk fast, and my legs were not the bit used to it this morning.  That has got to change.  I'm sure if I started doing this everyday, I'd be back to my ole' walking day self.  I was much more limber then too.  So, instead of taking breaks in front of the "evil machine" (computer), I will be off outside, come wind or rain...  I will walk at least 20 minutes each day.  Won't you join me?

Another resolution...  I'm going to eat more veggies this year.  I don't eat that much meat, but sometimes instead eating, I've found myself snacking on basically...junk.  Bring on the broccoli and carrots, and the veggie burgers..  I'm so there.  Let me be the true COELHA (rabbit) that I was born to be.  I may be a little more gassy, but, oh well.. 

I found a preschool for my youngest today.  He starts part-time next week.  This should be interesting.  Hopefully things will work out.  Preschool care is not cheap...  I've been lucky for a number of years, but now that my mother is unable to care for him fully right now, it's the thing to do.  I'm starting him part time, and may be full time for a bit, and back to may be two days week once my mom is back dancing in heels.  We shall see..  She will be leaving for vacation later this year, anyway, so I best have back up day care prepared when that happens.. 

Then again, you can never be prepared for life's ups and downs...  Life is pretty unpredictable.  The older I get, the more I'm aware of it, and I'm not getting any younger!
