Welcome to 2014

I ended up getting sick a few days before Christmas.  A few days after Christmas I spiked a fever over 104 that lasted for 3 days.  I finally ended up at Urgent Care on Monday.  Diagnosis?  Abnormal pneumonia.  They loaded me up with 2 different medications AND an inhaler.  As of right now, I'm doing much better.  Not 100% but, I don't feel nearly as bad as I did a week ago.  

The worst thing about being so sick is that it forced me to lay on the couch and do nothing.  I'm not good at doing nothing.  After the birth of all 3 of my girls and after 2 surgeries I did not lay around and "do nothing."  My body does not like being inactive.  My joints have started to ache, and my muscles are weak.  I have started aching in places I haven't ached in years.  But, getting my lungs cleared up is the most important thing right now.  Plus, any physical exertion causes me to go into a coughing fit.  Not something that people at the gym appreciate.  

It's January and everybody is thinking about their resolutions.  Have you thought about yours?  Here's my list.  I don't go crazy with my resolutions.  Nothing too crazy and nothing to difficult to achieve.  

Resolutions

1. Make 2014 the family's healthiest year
2. Save money
3. Get organized
4. Get the family's eating in check
5. Blog more regularly
6. Use social media more often

January Goals

1. Set up a regular weekly exercise routine for the whole family 
2. Cut out processed foods 
3. Yoga 2 times a week
4. Some type of physical activity 7 days a week

I don't think I have made any goals that are too wild or un-achievable.  In the next week or so I will be posting a few product reviews and hopefully some new recipes.  

What are some of your resolutions?

Resolutions and Looking Back at 2012

 [I swear this post does not want to be written!  I draft all my posts on paper before my fingers hit the keyboard.  I have drafted this post 4 times and LOST all 4.]

5 days until New Years
5 days until 2013

This year has been 25x crazier than past years.  My surgery, a new blog, starting school, vacations, camping trips, among other things made for one hectic years.  But it's been a fun, exciting year at the same time.  

This is the time that most people make New Years Resolutions and goals.   I made my goal list a few months ago.  I have spent the last week trying to figure out some resolutions.  There honestly aren't many I can make.  I already eat very healthy.  I exercise.  I'm in school.  All the typical ones have been covered.  There was only one that I could come up with.  

Here it is:

In 2013 I will cut down my soda intake.  I will stop drinking 1 or 2 a day and only have 1 or 2 a week.

My goals for 2013 and grander and more amazing I must admit.  But, I'm not going to let you in on my goals.  They are reachable but, I have a long way to go before I'll reach them so, I'd rather keep them to myself.  Honestly though, what is the difference between a resolution and a goal?  Do you know?
