So long 2013

I've been doing a lot of reflecting today as this year draws to a close. I'm really looking forward to what this next year could hold. No doubt God will continue to guide and bless our family.

As I mentioned the other day, I'm not into resolutions this year, but instead, life changes. I found this step chart and I have found it very helpful in trying to organize my upcoming health adventure.

So far I've got the first two steps down.
1. Set goal-lose 10% body weight
2. Make a plan-eat more cleanly, focus on portion control, lean on my accountability partner, exercise 15-30 minutes 5 days a week

Steps 3-5 will come as I begin this new journey of health.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
As I prepare myself for this challenging and exciting time in my life, I'll spend today savoring these precious moments before I return to work on Thursday. This is the first New Year's Eve that I've ever spent by myself. With my hubby at work and a baby that hits the crib by 7:30, tonight will be pretty mellow. I will however follow through with our traditional Harry Potter marathon.
 
I'm trying a new Sesame Seed Chicken recipe today. I've been wanting Chinese food, which did not happen yesterday, and since I've vowed not to get out of my pajamas today, I'll be trying an at home recipe. Wish me luck!
 
Tomorrow we'll celebrate the New Year by having brunch with our close friends and their little one. It will be a wonderful way to start making memories in 2014.
 
God bless and Happy New Year!!!

    Hey! So excited about your new journey, keep us up to date. I have a goal, too, ending in November 2014 :) We'll have to keep each other encouraged!

    I saw all of your sesame chicken Pins, and stole one. They all looked so yummy! I can't wait to try it out this weekend.

    Have a great (mellow) NYE. Things will be chill at our place, too, and there aren't any complaints here about that :) Love you!

      Thanks! Will do! The one I made tonight was delicious! I did add minced garlic.

      I'd love to check out your blog but it says invite only :) Have a wonderful night and a great New Year!
