Although I do not make New Year's resolutions, I have decided to make some goals for 2012. They're pretty simple and one's I think I can actually see through to 2013.
- To log my food on a daily basis.
- To increase my physical activity.
- To continue eating as healthily as I can.
- To keep blogging at least 2 entries per week.
This year I will be celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary. Back in 2002 when I got married, my mother was very sick and died less than a year after my wedding. My wedding was really her brain-child and I let her call all the shots because it was really her last shining moment. I even let her make my wedding gown, with no input from me. It was a lovely dress but it wasn't what I would have chosen for myself. I honestly didn't care because my mother being present at my wedding was all I cared about at the time.
I was also probably close to my heaviest weight so I didn't really have a lot of dress option choices. So for my 10th year of being married, I'd like to renew my vows in a dress of my choosing. I have chosen this gown and really need to work on my body to wear it! I currently wear a size 16 and would love to get down to at least a size 10 before attempting to wear something like this.
This dress is so pretty it makes me wanna cry like a baby:)
Don't get me wrong. I love the dress my mom made for me, but I was too heavy to wear something like this then and this is what I would have chosen it I could have. My first dress was a size 24 and it will be a forever heirloom. I had it made into my son's baptismal gown and I am hopeful that he will continue to use it for his children.
So I guess I have made a HUGE goal for myself. Maybe I will see it to fruition and maybe I won't. If I can't wear that dress this year, there is always next year and we can renew our vows in our 11th year. I'm easy to please, so no real pressure there. I really just want an excuse to have a big party and get the wedding ring I've always wanted because we were so broke when we got married the first time.
I love this. I think it's soooo pretty.
I'm undecided about getting it with sapphires, emeralds, or rubies.
Well I guess I am full of s**t. I do I make resolutions for myself! I also know that I get a lot of my strength from the blogging community, because after only 2 and a half short months, I have become a blogging addict. My fifth goal for 2012...try to be as honest as I can with myself and everyone else. Good luck to all with your goals and resolutions for the New Year:)
PS: Just in case you're wondering...the title of this blog entry was my first dance at my wedding in 2002:)
