OMG! I start every year in the same place 5lbs heavier then I was in November and 15 lbs heavier than I should be ....according to Wii Fit ;) I am however committed this year to getting year to getting my body to a place that makes me happy. We are headed to Vancouver this summer for a wedding and it is my goal to be down to 120 lbs by then. I hope that writing this blog will help me to stick to my plan. There it is now out in cyber space!
Now fitness plan started and financial plan underway. Mark and I have sat down to make a strict budget in order to make this Vancouver trip happen. We have a wedding to attend there and after much discussion and chatter, we figured that REALLY?! if we have to go for a wedding, we might as well make a family vacation out of it. Nanny being the amazing Nanny she is stepped up to offer to pay for the kids flights and she will fly with us too! She has arranged for us to stay some of the time with friends of hers which will save us a ton of cash and without which we wouldn't even be able to go! We are so grateful and now it falls on us to get our S-H-I-T together and save, save, save so we can get there! I hate worrying about money all the time and sadly it embarrasses me that we have to be so careful.We are both still paying of student loans and not a day goes by that I don't think about those loans and how they hang over me unpaid still almost 10 years after graduation. We pay over $700/month in student loan payments!!! It is crazy! What a wonderful day it will be when they are paid off. I know I am lucky to be able to stay home with the kids, because at least Mark IS making enough to support that.....But I still search for jobs every now and then and constantly weigh the options of joining myself so we can finally relax a little about our spending.....sigh....nighty nighty Back to our regular jobs tomorrow. Day 2 of Fitness/Financial plan complete
