Musings

Still working on that whole staying healthy thing (although chocolate is still my downfall). Today and yesterday went for hour long walks on the dog beach. I love it and it's so much better than the treadmill. I was thinking about why this was the case and I think there's 3 reasons - (1) I can see my goal (2) Walking with the Hubby and my Mum (3) It's the dog beach and there's always something to see/be distracted by.

Hopefully I can keep this up because it's enjoyable. I've lost 2kg so far (4.4 pounds) that's a little less than what my niece weighs! I wish I could always remember how good exercise makes me feel it'd make it that much easier to get motivated. It's also easier having people to share it with as well because in some way they do force me to get off my butt and get moving.

In other happy news - we've been trying to get pregnant! I know naughty us and I've always been changing my mind about timing but what the heck. It's never the right time to have a baby. So far 2 negative tests but I'm late so we'll just have to wait and see. If we are pregnant I'll let Hubby have his 'super sperm complex'! If it doesn't happen we now have to hold off because if I get pregnant this month the baby would be due during Hubby's final exams. So that's a sneaky little update. I'm so annoyed with this whole wait and see thing though, either hurry up and be 'that time of the month' or I want to see a + sign on a test! It would be pretty crazy if I was though seeing as it was our first time trying with me straight off the pill. I just can't not get my hopes up damn it!

1st Day of 2011

Today has been fantastic other than waking up way too early! After midnight we played more Guitar Hero (I was forced to be vocals & it was heavy metal...) and then watched some Avatar on an awesome projector HD screen. So that was a great start surrounded by great friends and then after that bed time. When we came home I went into cleaning mode and re-sorted our kitchen. I'm happier with it now because my Kitchen-Aid is easier to access and in turn hopefully easier to use. I'd love to start using it more especially when I see people blogging about theirs.

More recently we went and saw our gorgeous niece. We couldn't cuddle her but our SiL did roll her out of neonates so we could get a proper look at her. She looks exactly like her brother did except she's got really brown hair. Apparently it's slightly blonde on the ends but I couldn't tell but it's definitely dark and not at all ginger as first thought. Her dad's birthday is on Wednesday so they're hoping she'll be out of the hospital by then. She needs to breastfeed for 24 hours straight with nothing going wrong before they can move her up to be with my SiL and then hopefully home time! We also got to see our nephew he was just leaving from his visit and I managed to score a goodbye smooch as well YAY!

So back to what this post is about - New Years and New Starts. I've come up with a few easy and broad resolutions.
  1. Feel pretty every day and dress up a bit more.
  2. Get healthy! Use the cross-trainer we have in the garage!
  3. Catching up with my friends more
  4. Date nights with Hubby (at least once a month) 
I hope everyone else had a great 2010 and if not things can only get better from here for us all.
