I could use some upgrades. A Heather V2.0, if you will.
These aren’t so much new year’s resolutions (good thing since it’s almost February!). They are just some relatively smaller things that I’d like to improve about myself and my lifestyle and I figure if I put in on the internet, then maybe they are more likely to happen. Along with sharing the goals, I’ll share the current reality so that there’s some comparison there by which to measure things later.
Current Reality #1:
I hardly ever read. I buy books because I want to read them… I just don’t do it. Chapters is one of my favouite stores, and yet I’m not a reader!
Goal #1:
To read a book per month… and not just Levi’s Little Critter’s stories. An actual book book, like one of the dozens that I’ve bought and haven’t read yet.
Current Reality #2:
I’ve owned this Pilates DVD for approx 3 years now, and the only time I ever turned it on was last week to see how hard it was going to be and I sat and ate a bag of Mini Eggs while watching it. Not doing it, watching it.
Goal #2:
To actually DO the Pilates workout 3 times each week….. sans Mini Eggs.
Current Reality #3:
We tend to avoid doing the dishes. Usually, we’ll spend like 10 minutes rearranging the dishwasher to try to cram stuff in instead of just taking 5 minutes and washing them by hand. Sometimes days go by without washing a frying pan or pot. There was this one time last year that I actually threw out a $20 roasting pan instead of washing it. Seriously.
Goal #3:
To do the dishes right after a meal, and therefore cram and run the dishwasher less often.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, my friends. I’ll report back later on these, and add some new ones to the pile. Now that you know, world wide web, I pretty much have to follow through.
Stay tuned for images from two newborn sessions this week!
