I love a fresh start

I just love new beginnings.  As a teacher, I get two new starts each year - one in August and one in January.  They are chances to dream big; to hope and plan for better; to make changes and start over.  Every January me (and 3 million of my closest friends here in the United States) decide to make a change in health.  This year is no different in my home.  We are eating right and making healthy changes to our lifestyle. 

Today is day 1 of said health regiment, and I'm feeling good.  Ate exactly what I was supossed to eat today and am in my PJs at 8:30 blogging and working (in no particular order). 

Aside from the health changes, I have high hopes for other areas of my life I want to work on - hubs and I need to sit down this weekend and hammer out our family goals for the year, but my individual ones are:

• drink 60 ozs of water each day
• give up pop {I can hardly believe I just typed that}
• learn to cook and bake
• grow in my faith {actually pay attention in church rather than watching the cute babies in front of me}
• try my hand at running and complete one road race
• spend more time at home - not running here, there, and everywhere
• do all busy-work at school outside of student-time {I'm always checking email or jotting down a lesson I want to teach next week, or putting mail in student mail boxes, etc}  If it's something I can do without students there, I want to do it then.

That's quite the list - but managable I think.  :)

What are your resolutions for 2012?
