Starting Over for 2012

kailysimpson

I have been using MFP since May of last year but I totally did a crappy job, was inconsistent, and basically gave up around Thanksgiving, because let's not kid ourselves, right?? But I decided that on January 1 I would start over.... fresh. So I even made a new username and am literally starting over. I made a list of goals for 2012 and I plan on sticking to them. This is 90% mental and I've been gearing myself up for it for weeks now and I'm ready. In 2 weeks when I get my lump sum for my student loans, I am going to invest about $200 in a decent jogging stroller so that I can put my 3 year old and the 2 year old who I babysit in a stroller so that I can walk/jog - "I'm busy" isn't going to be an excuse anymore, and I'm going to walk everywhere. I live in the middle of the city, literally less than half a mile from my kid's school, my husband's job, the mall, grocery store, etc. My kids and my husband are going to grumble, but that's tough! I do for them 100% of the time, it's time for them to give back to me - and I'm going to demand it for a change. :-) Anyhow, I am Kaily, I am 27 years old, wife and mother to 3 boys who are 3, 6, and 8. I am a full time student at the University of Illinois Springfield studying to be an English teacher, and I have my own home daycare business. 2012 is going to be much better than 2011 if it kills me!!!!! Add me!!
