Chapter 2015 - page 1

Well, here we are again, January 1st.  It is crazy to me how time flies.  How in 1 second I can be in the moment of January 1, 2014 and in the next second I am here in 2015.  So much happened in 2014.  It was a HARD year, but at the same time it was one of the most AMAZING years of my life. 

My Mom took us on a family cruise, the Ennis Lions won a State Championship in Football, I was promoted at work into a Divisional Director Position, We found a new Church Family, I started back with CrossFit (and then quit because of my foot), I started some cleaning and organization for my home (it looks better than it ever has, but still has a long way to go).

These are the things that just immediately pop into my head.  I'm looking forward to 2015!  I am expecting big things this year from myself.  I have declared this year to be the

YEAR OF THE HUSBAND

 
I've decided to focus my efforts on our relationship and making it stronger.  One of the great things about this is that by focusing on him, I will be taking care of myself also and meeting many of the other goals that I would like to accomplish.  While focusing on Jason, I will be improving my Spiritual Life as I learn to pray for Jason and the needs of our family; I will be improving my health as I learn to eat healthier and be more active; and I will be improving our home as I work on decreasing the clutter.
 
My birthday was yesterday.  Jason and the kids gave me a new FitBit.  I am really excited about this.  This will be my third one.  My previous two have died.  I had decided after the last one went kaput, that I was just going to do without but I'm excited about having a new one.  I charged it last night and put it one this morning.  I've got it all set up and I'm ready to start tracking again.  It's been a few months since I last tracked any data.  I'm a techie kind of person.  I LOVE gadgets and things that help me collect data.

It's been a really good day.  I've read quite a bit.  One of my favorite new blogs is A Slob Comes Clean.  I see so much of myself in her posts.  They are funny and many times I have caught myself laughing out loud at her posts.  She is very open and honest about her home and the process that she is going through to get her home in order.  It's why I like the blog.  Dana has been writing this blog since 2009.  I have gone back to the very beginning and have been reading her posts from the beginning.

I have also designated a box in the "game room" of our house that is to collect items that need to be given away/decluttered.  The "game room" is just a fancy name for a room in our home that should be a guest bedroom but since I don't have an extra bed, it is an eclectic room that has my desk (office), craft supplies, gift wrap and gift bags, storage for all unwanted/unloved items, x-box, TV and several chairs for people to sit on as they "game". 

Other things I accomplished today include tracking all the food I have eaten today (I went over my allotted calories by 1200+).  I also set out my breakfast for tomorrow and packed my lunch.

I have to work tomorrow, it's Payroll Friday!  Payroll has to be done, the fortunate thing is that I have chosen to work in Waxahachie tomorrow, so I will be close to home.  My focus is getting payroll done and cleaning out my inbox so that come Monday, I can call IT and hopefully get my email fixed.  I think I will also spend some time tomorrow setting some goals for work and getting some decluttering and organizing going on over there also.

Till the next time!
