Resolutions

I don't think I've ever made resolutions, or if I did, I never shared them with anyone.  Well, this year I made three of them.  Here they are:

1. Stop worrying about my weight and focus more on body fat percentage.  I admit, I weigh myself every single day, which can be a good thing and a bad thing.  Take for instance, this morning, I weighed 1.5lbs more than I did two days ago.  My mind immediately goes to: How did I do that?  Did I really eat that much?  But I worked out! Then, I immediately go to Dustin, who reassures me that it is only water weight...phew!  (even though I should know that by now!)  We used Dustin's personal training knowledge and he made a month program for us and a spreadsheet to track our weight/body percent.  I refuse to diet, so we'll see if goals can be achieved without dieting; I'm sure I'll hit a plateau at some point and have to give up my daily bowl of ice cream!

Our workout from Day 1 about killed me.

 2. Stop complaining SO much!  My mom always said: "Kristen isn't happy unless she's complaining".  Well, that's not true, but I do complain about EVERYTHING!  And I started the New Year off with a bang by complaining about how messy our house was and how I can't always do the work all by myself.  When, in fact, if I asked Dustin to nicely do something, I'm positive he would do it.  I am proud to say, I didn't complain at all yesterday!  : )  

3. Make some friends.  Dustin and I are completely different in this department.  We walked into Bashas (a grocery store) the other day, and the banker says: "Hey Dustin, how's it going man?".  Ummm, excuse me?  The banker knows you?  Dustin makes friends with everyone!  We were at Home Depot two days ago and if I weren't with him, he probably would have become friends with the stock boy, who struck up a conversation with him about Oregon. I, on the other hand, find socializing to be stressful.  I enjoy staying at home and doing my own thing on my own time.  When I meet people, I never invest the time or energy into continuing a friendship with them.  So, this is something I would like to work on.  I know Arizona would be a much more enjoyable place to live if we had some friends.

In other news, I'm working on a pinterest project that I'm really excited about.  Dustin was out in the garage sanding down the board for it last night.  I'll post pictures when done!
