Happy January 2!

I think one of my main resolutions for this year, and all the years to come, is to celebrate every day with the excitement and hope we have for January 1. 

I saw a post on Facebook today about how yesterday's food fuels today's workout and tomorrow's body. As boring as it will probably be for you guys, I've decided to use the blog as my own personal paleo challenge log, so I'll be documenting whether I ate clean or had cheats and what my workouts are. I did pretty good yesterday with the New Year's Day party food. I avoided all of the cheese! Well, except the little bit on the broccoli casserole, but I put effort into picking the less cheesy parts. I definitely had more than the necessary amount of champagne, but hey, I did way better than I have the last  6 weeks! Instead of beating myself up every day and bugging Vic about "how fat do I look today?" I'm going to think about the good choices. I think it was on the Against All Grain blog or one of the others that I follow that mentioned how each clean decision is like money in the bank to be spent on cheats. Just like in real life, I need to work on saving money!

Speaking of saving money, have I mentioned before that we're doing the 52 week money saving challenge? You just transfer $1, $2, $3 and so on for each week of the year, adding up to something like $1400 at the end of the year! With hoping to make an easy transition to Colorado in 21 months, I figure every dollar saved will help out. The good/bad news about Ryker being so dang loud and impatient these days is that we can't go out to eat without being embarrassed. That should end up saving us lots! 

I'm also resolving to focus less attention on TV and more on being outside. We're not those crazy people that ignore the baby to play World of Warcraft or anything, but we do enjoy our Modern Family, Parenthood, movies, blah blah blah and a million other shows. Vic and I talked about turning the TV off and playing some good tunes while we play board games and cards more often. Also, we're always trying to be outside with the pups more!

I'm so excited to start today, fresh and new, with a hike here in Evergreen. Of course, it's gorgeous this morning. I hope you're all having a lovely morning and enjoying the new year and don't focus too much on the pressure of starting the new year off right. Just make today the best possible day and start over tomorrow!
