Resolutions

With the new year, always come resolutions. Fitness, financial, fortitude...what it really boils down to is discipline. Chris and I decided that one of the goals we'd like to achieve this year is to teach the girls discipline. It will be great to instill this quality in them while they're young, instead of them having to fight all of their learned habits when they're in their 30's, like we are.
We asked them what they thought were the most important things that they should accomplish in a day, they made a list, and determined that everyday they would do their list before they could watch tv or play games. This way, we're not the "list police"...they chose the list. I don't need to make sure they do it because THEY make sure they do it!
Well, I made a list too. I don't always get to cross everything off the list (but don't worry, I don't watch tv or play games!), but I am learning that being disciplined and making the things on my list a priority help me feel better about my day and accomplish more. Now to transfer this feeling of control and discipline to my fitness! Baby steps...but I'm learning that I CAN do it!

Helpful Hint

Ok, I don't know if you've ever had this problem or not...after 13 years of having and using the same towels, mine just started smelling...you know...towel stink...sitting in the basket-wet-too long. I was on the verge or trashing them all when I found the detergent cocktail to reverse the effects! In addition to my normal detergent, I was using Febreze laundry odor eliminator. This was not enough to do the trick. I decided to add a scoop of OxyClean to this concoction and shazam! I don't have to run out and buy new towels now! (Not that I don't want to! I just don't HAVE to right this minute). It's not cheap to add all these things to the wash, but the alternative is even more expensive! Hope this helps :)

Happy New Year!

What a great way to welcome the new year...with friends! The Militellos, Hartmanns and Abrahams...
