Beginning again!!!!!!

Well we left town for a month and everything fell apart! Or at least I did...but this whole thing hasn't been for naught. I am making progress in lots of areas, just not as quickly as I was hoping for. Turns out perfection never happened in the blink of an eye or the duration of a two week goal. Here's some things I am doing right:

-Waking up better than I used to and almost always remembering to pray, read my scriptures and about half of the time even writing in my scripture journal (working up to everyday). 

- Working out most days of the week. Getting out some of my stress and anxiety with running (with Nate as my motivator) a couple times each week. 

- Eating healthy most of the time (though we still eat pizza a lot). Getting a good amount of fruits and veggies and usually not binge eating goodies (unless I'm at my mother in laws house). 

- I feel happy with where I'm at with my relationship with my kids. Man, I may stink at life but they remind me everyday that it's worth it because of them. I'm so proud of my kiddos! 

New goals:

1) Still working on bedtime. New time is be in bed by 9:30, asleep by 10. 

2) Then wake up at 5 (yikes!) to write before kids wake up. No writing while the kids are awake! I need to make sure I'm present more with them (more for my own sanity than theirs. No more dreading the day!)

3) Make the sabbath a delight. Be on time to church! No writing, no technology unless for family history (gosh I need to start doing that again!) and consciously striving for ways to serve. Listen to a talk while getting ready. Go for a walk. Video chat with family. Good stuff like that :) oh, and prepare better for the sacrament. That's a biggy! 

Anyone else still doing this? I hope so! It's so hard though!
