Triathlons & Gym Time

Today was a weird, but great day for us. I had to go to the Trotter Family YMCA for Kids Triathlon Training. It was about an hour drive and I made it through crazy Houston (BIG accomplishment for someone who got their license at 19 & hates to drive).

Addison's Bento Lunch today.

We left home a little early to meet with my mom beforehand. THANKS MOM!!! She took Addison to the mall while I was in training & it was such a big help to me. Addison came back with two super cute pj's from the Disney Store & I'm sure she loved spending some time with Gigi.

Roadtrip today!

Thankfully, the training was short & sweet. It kind of convinced me that I need to try a triathlon in the future. Maybe I'll add this to one of my goals.

Speaking of goals I finally decided to start working on one of mine. Its already halfway though January so I better get to it! (:

Apartment Gym

 I woke up at 5:30 this morning with my friend Heather (lives 2 hours away) and we worked out "together". It was helpful having someone up at the exact same time and doing the same workout. I guess knowing someone else was suffering with me made it more doable.

We ran 2 miles this morning & did various cardio exercises. Working out always makes me feel so much better. I don't know why I always put it off. I had a GREAT day even sitting through a training and I really think it was because I started my day off right. 

I was even brave enough to go back to the gym tonight & made it through 2 more miles. I am pretty proud of myself. Please say a prayer that I stick with it.

Well, I won't blog much about working out because I think it gets kind of boring, but I did want to share that I have started one of my goals.

2013

Well, I have gotten so far behind on my blog and have been dreading on catching up, so I decided I won't. I'll just start fresh again & hopefully stay somewhat on top of things. Let's see how this goes! (:

Addison on NYE. She made it to 11:30 & barely missed the New Year.

I cannot believe that it is already 2013. Time just keeps speeding up as I get older, but this is a year I have been looking forward to for quite a while now. There is a lot I would like to get accomplished before the year ends & thought I'd share my 2013 goals with you.

2013 Goals:
 1. Blog Consistently! We have a big year coming up for my family & I and I would like to be able to look back at how far we've come. Also, since I have only scrap-booked about 3 pages of Addison's life, I think blogging is another great way to keep track of our memories.

2. Move. Cameran is graduating in May & a week later starts his new job. We will be moving somewhere in the Katy/Cypress area. I am sad to say goodbye to friends, my job, and just this area I've grown to love, but I am SO excited to start this next chapter of our lives.

3. Find a Church. I'd like for us to regularly attend church & become involved members. We haven't been the best about looking around for a church, but this year I'd love to accomplish this.

4. Get Back into School (NOT online). BIG GOAL for me & I'd like to make this happen even if it just means I'm enrolled for Spring 2014.

5. Add Working Out into my Daily Routine. I'd like to make it just part of my daily life. I need to get into shape & live a healthier lifestyle.

6. More Date Nights with Cameran. As much as we love hanging out just the three of us, we definitely need to set aside time for just the two of us.

7. Finally Set a Date! or just Elope :)  

Even though its 12 days late these are my 2013 goals! What are your goals for this year?
