Resolution #1:
I am not going to use the credit cards anymore. It's cash or debit from here on out. I do love my points I get from my Amazon.com card, but I don't really control my spending too well when I use it; so I am giving it up.
Resolution #2:
I will exercise 30 minutes each day six days a week. (As of Jan. 4 in the AM, this has not happened once) Maybe it will happen today! Who knows!
Resolution #3:
I am giving up my diet Pepsi (and diet Coke). I have just been pondering my usage of the substance during the last couple months. I have decided it can't be very good for you... I mean just look at the color. Does it look good for you?
Resolution #4:
I will get up at 6 AM every day but Saturday. I need time to do some of those important things I find myself not having time to do (i.e. showering, praying, studying scriptures, maybe even getting that 30 minutes of exercise in?). This one is also not happening, but I figure it is going to be a gradual process. I am going to work up to it and say that by June I should probably be getting up at 6 AM.
What do you think?

Triathlete?
I swam 20 laps tonight at the gym in about an hour. That's a whopping 500 meters or 0.277777778 miles!!! I am so proud of me. And it was nice because the kids got to go to the gym to (and get out of the house for once this winter) and play in the playroom. Everyone wins!
I really would like to start training for a triathlon to take place this summer. My brother thinks I am crazy, but we have already established that I am; so let's not beat the dead horse, shall we? I have "wanted" to do a triathlon for several years now, but between babies, moving (yes, I know that was 2 years ago) and my aforementioned craziness, I have not done it. I just think it would be so cool to say, "I am a triathlete" or "I have done a triathlon."
I believe this could be one of my life goals. Some day I need to write down all such goals; I have a bunch of them.
So anyways, I really enjoy swimming and biking. I hate running, so that will be the last part I train for. But the benefits are great. There's this chick at the gym who does triathlons. She's gorgeous; granted, she is Brazilian, so she has that in her favor. But I was talking to her one day and she was like, "I know I am crazy, but I really want to do an Ironman someday." AN IRONMAN??? Those are like impossibly long triathlons. She's my idol currently.
On a side note, there is this adorable young man who I would love to set one of my gals up with. Send me a note if you're interested. Here is what little I know about him (I haven't gotten his name yet): He looks to be about 21 or 22, I run into him often while swimming, he has done some triathlons, he's completely bald but it fits him (think of the bald guys you see on the Olympic swim team), he is in the Air Force ROTC at BYU and graduates next year (I think), and he really wants to go to Afghanistan when he graduates. Doesn't he sound dreamy? Brittany, I'll have to get a height check on him, he may be a keeper. One thing I don't know about him is if he is married or not... it hasn't come up in the conversations we have had (they've mostly been about swimming and triathons); however, I haven't noticed a ring.
