Things got you down?

This has been the most difficult winter for me since we have moved to the Pacific NW. I’m SO ready for spring and summer… to wear shorts… to need my sunglasses again… to ride bikes and go on hikes… to get some fresh air and not have to bundle up to be outside… doesn’t that sound nice?

Well… I’ve decided to bring spring in a little early…

Not only are we spring cleaning (and I mean… spring DUMPING – can’t believe how much stuff we have to get rid of)… but, I’m determined to get over these winter time blues and plow through to those sunshine months.

Here is my plan…

- I’m getting up earlier… I am SO not a morning person – but, when I am up early, I really enjoy the morning hours. I’d love to get up when my hubby leaves at 6:30 – but, I’m going to be more realistic and shoot for 7:30 (my kids sleep until 8:30 or so… I know – I’m lucky… but, it hasn’t always been this way).

- I’m eating better… I have a group of friends that is doing a simple ‘Biggest Loser’ type of thing and it is very motivating! I’ve got loads of baby weight to lose (can I call it that – since my baby just turned 4?!?)… but, lost 2 pounds last week – just enough to keep me going!
