S/O New Year
What are you guys looking forward to the most in the New Year?
Here are the goals that I put on my blog...
1- Continue to work out and lose weight, I really need to get healthy and fit not only for my self but for my future family.
2- Get our house completely organized, this means closest too! Haha
3- Finish painting and decorating our house, we have been in there for 2 years already and I feel like we can?t put projects on the back burner anymore.
4- Get my crafting organized, set up my website and hopefully start selling some goods, I put that off with the wedding, but now I have some more free time.
5- Get better at budgeting, pay down debt, and building that little next egg! (we have been doing pretty good, thanks to Jaye but I think we still have room for improvement)
6- Make a menu every week and here is the key component and STICK TO IT!
But I would also like to add the I am really looking forward to starting to TTC and all the joys and sorrows that will bring I am sure. I can't wait for CJ and I to star building our own little family. 
Re: S/O New Year
I always say lose weight but hasn?t happened but hopefully this next year I will. Also we are set on paying off our bills, so excited about that. I am switching Doctors so I want to start my TTC adventure again. And Travel of course but that may not be as much as we did this year since we are paying off bills. That's all I think for now.

I know what you mean about losing weight, I say it every year and every year I just end up gaining(total lack of motivation onmy part) which totally sucks because it just makes my goal weight that much further away. We are going to join a gym and are joining the one my BIL&SIL go to so that even if CJ can't go I have someone to go with... if it were for me to go by myself I probably wouldn't. Heres to 2011 may we both get our skinny on!

i love goal setting! alex and i make a inspiration/goal board every year a la the secert style. we did ours last night actually...heres what i wrote on mine:
the obvious - lose weight and become lean
deepen my yoga practice and meditate more often
train and run a half marathon
get my real estate license
love more and judge less
I am kind of the same way, I have gotten better at it with CJ crazy work hours this year. LOL when i was single i went to the movie by myself and all these couples we so confused to see me sitting by my self and no one would take the seat directly next to me because they thought someone was coming to meet me! haha
I love riding our bikes, it switchs it up and you get a nice scenery while you are out. I hope I can drop these lbs! haha
all three of us should hit the gym together lol. nestie motivation!!!
which gym will you be joining?!? i love mountainside and we were members when we lived in chandler but there isnt a ms by us in central phx...im sooo close to joining the one in surprise LOL
We are going to join Fitness 1 it is by the 303 and Greenway and super duper close to our house, like a brisk walk or bike ride away from our house.
Where you been? Missed ya. And we totally should but I should say another problem is paying for it, lol. My friend pays like 40 bucks a month and doesnt go, so I dont want that to be me. Plus, we all live far from each other. But that would be cool.
I also should Love more and judge less

i was out on vaca last wk and since alex and i dont pay for the interwebs and our neighbor was oot...hahahahaha! its nice to 'be back' lol
since you live in the chandler area - have you looked into the tumbleweed rec center?!? they offer a full gym, indoor track, a huge variety of group fitness classes, and a kid/teen center too - i would have my little sis go with me lol. for chandler residents its like $30 a month for unlimited use - ALL THE CLASSES!!! and no start up fee, processing fee, new member fee sh!t like the gyms. or if you want to just try one class/day pass its like $3 or $5.
one of my co-workers live in surprise and goes to that gym. ive heard so many great things about it! good luck!!
Yea that is what I hear from my SIL, she loves it and she says she really likes some of the classes and thwe instructors so that is good.
Thank you 
good luck to you as well!
No I havent but I wont be a Chandler resident soon. I am moving to a Phoenix address soon, end of Jan. So that sucks. but I thought about joining Pure Fitness, that is where my friend goes and they are pretty cheap.
