New Year, New Me

I know it's early for New Year Resolutions, but I'm not big on resolutions. I never keep them. I am doing this for me and my family. To be healthy for my husband and kids. So today I re-start Weight Watchers. I will check in on Fridays and keep track of how I'm doing. Given that my kids give me the opportunity to log on and weigh in. The first time I did Weight Watcher's was after my son was born, and I lost 20lbs and was very excited with the difference.

So my start weight is 242, and though I don't have my measurements I will get them soon. My plan is to try and walk with the kids, and play Wii Active. I'm also hoping for Wii Zumba and/or Zumba 2 for Christmas. When I was a member of 24 Hour Fitness I loved the Zumba classes. They are a super fun way of staying active and working out. They even offered an Aqua Zumba class which was the best. twice the workout because of being immersed in water.

Aside from my weight loss adventures starting, I am also going to try really hard to get some stuff up in my Etsy shop. I really want to get that going and the stuff I make is simple enough that once the baby is on a regular napping schedule I can probably get a lot done. Right now the plan is to start with nursing covers and carseat covers. I design my own fabric through Spoonflower and may use some of that for my product. It may cost more, but it will be unique. I've also seen these really cute crayon and paper portfolio's for kids. They are so adorable and convenient. They have pockets, and handles, great for kids for church or long car rides.

It'd be nice to see the store do well so we can use the extra cash for the kids college and pay off bills. Plus I enjoy crafting! Guess I'll have to wait and see how things go with both new endeavors!
