Positive changes being enforced for the new year.

We all make new years resolutions right? How many of us keep them?
Well i am determined to make mine a part of my everyday life, and so far so good.

I wanted to get Adey on a schedule so that she will sleep through the night and have a healthy, active daily schedule too! I decided to implement some of the babywise method. The first few days were pretty rough on us buuuuut, Im proud to say, shes taking to it like a champ. She eats three meals a day, naps 2-3 times a day (but wait here's the kicker) she goes down for those naps by herself. I lay her in her crib awake and she goes to sleep on her own with little to no fuss! I love babywise. Its worked wonders for us. She also does the same thing at bed time. Most nights she does sleep a solid 8- 8 1/2 hrs so far. Seems to me with this schedule she is happier, better rested and eating great! So pray that it keeps going well.

My other determination for the year that i have started out strong with so far is LOSING WEIGHT! Man! i know everyone sets this one... and i probably have every year too but i am really doing it this year. I am fed up with being unhealthy and unhappy with the way i am. No one is going to change it but me right! So here i go. My mother in law and I have committed to a 6 week program called slim in 6. It promises to reshape your body in 6 weeks. Well we are on week 2 and we have both lost 4 lbs each! So it must be doing something good for us. I would appreciate any prayers and encouragement to keep me going. I'm not just dieting, I'm not just working out, I'm implementing a complete life style change. Adelynne needs a mommy, Steve needs a wife. If i don't keep myself healthy and doing everything in the natural to make sure i am at my best to be the best mom and wife i can be than I'm not doing any of us any good. Sooo here it goes, I'm all in!

The work out goes through three phases. We finished the first phase which was a 25 min work out for 6 days. Now we have started the 3rd week or our 2nd phase which is a 47 min work out 6 days a week. phew.. its tough! But we are determined. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
