1. In 2012, I want to be in the best shape of my life. I want to run and dance and enjoy living! I want to run in several races (5Ks) with my girlfriends....and maybe my hubby, if I can talk him into it:) I'm already down nearly 20 pounds from this past summer and am enjoying dancing most evenings at my local gym. I also adore cardio kickboxing. I am determined to continue clean eating, as I have been doing for over a year now. Finally, finally....I am no longer struggling with insomnia or RLS. I am no longer suffering from the effects of my bout with mono nearly a year ago. I am stronger than I have been in 15 years and I am excited to see what a new, healthy me can do in 2012!
2. In 2012, I want our family to really experience life. Last year, I set a goal to live intentionally and we did that really well, I think. Thinking so much about everything was good for me, because I was really able to see where our relationships, finances, and lives in general could use help. But.....and that's a really big BUT....we failed to be spontaneous at all. This year, I want to learn to be more spontaneous, to learn what it means to grab a moment by the horns and run with it, even if my dishes are dirty and the laundry needs folding. I want to look for the unexpected in the ordinary moments of my days. I want to take my kids on a road trip and stop every time we want to and not worry about getting to the destination. I want to love living!
3. I want to start a prayer photo book for our family. I've saved all the Christmas cards we received with photos. I want to get around to all our church family, our friends and relatives and snap photos of everyone. I then want to put all the photos in a photo binder, including the prayer cards of missionaries we support. Everyday, we will pray for a family in our book. We will devote that day to praying specifically for the needs in that family. We will still pray through our church prayer list every day, and of course pray and praise as we usually do in our quiet time, but I thought this would be a good way to remember those that are dear to us.
I love Philippians 1:3-5 "I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you, always praying with joy for all of you in my every prayer, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now."
And of course, I have the regular homeschooling and organization goals that any homeschooling, stay-at-home momma has.
How about you?

Georgia!!!!! You're pregnant? Yay you!!!!! I would LOVE to hit the gym together- are you anywhere near the 40/42 area? It's Fitness for Women beside Dance Art.
Congrats on the weight loss Lyds. That's awesome!! I may think about joining you at Fitness for Women in the near future. Currently I'm training for my half marathon in February but after that I'm wanting to do more weight training and such. So awesome. Can't wait to see what all 2012 brings!

I'm actually not near the 40/42 area, i'm in Fuquay on the old family farm still ( same house i grew up in ) and i'm a member at 02 Fitness, but maybe we can find a dance class at an alternate location - i used to take classes in Raleigh all the time!
