Happy New Year!

"What's two thousand and eleven?"
A new year. A new beginning. A fresh start.
None of these answers satisfied a 3 year old. I tried explaining that its the year. How she was born in 2007, etc etc etc. Still wasn't getting it. So I told her she'll learn about it in school.

Carlee and I rung in the new year going to dinner then home and had chocolate cake and apple cider. When I was opening the apple cider, Carlee asked wide eyed, "I can have wine!?" Nice try.
We were both in bed early and woke up early on New Year's day to watch the Rose Parade.

For the new year, I don't have any new year's resolustions per se. Of course the standard "lose weight" resolution still applies, but I've been on that kick for over a year now. Its a part of my life now. It is day 4 of the new year and I will be going to the gym for the 4th day in a row. Go me!

My new goal for the year is to complete my first 5k run in May. 5k might not seem like much to some people but it will definitely be an accomplishment for me. Maybe I can work towards a half marathon in August. Baby steps though.

My main goal for the new year is really to continue the momentum I've been going on. When I think of where I was this time a year ago, I can't believe it. My world has made a 180 and I am truly happy. Of course there are things I'd still like out of life and this year I plan to strive to be even happier.

I want to continue to focus on my daughter, friends, and family as well as myself. 
2010 was a good year. It was a transition year. I'm ready to hit the ground running in 2011.

Happy New Year!
May 2011 be good to you!
