Resolution Revolution part 2

Resolution revolution is in full swing!! If any of you missed it this year I am going to try and do more for me!! Not to be selfish, but to remember that I am important too. I don't have to spend all my time, energy, or money on the kids!

So far so good!! I recently got my hair cut..... I know that doesn't sound like much, but I usually only get it cut once or twice a year! Not only did I get it cut, but yesterday I got it cut even shorter!! Kelly wasn't crazy about the idea, but he is trying to be supportive!

I have also been playing with hair colors!! I started out with one of those temporary colors that wash out...I liked it at first...then as it faded it left my hair all streaky! So last week Kelly and I went shopping together to pick out a permanent one!! He even helped me color it last night!!

I really like it!

Hopefully in the next week I'm going to get back on Weight Watchers!! I'm going to incorporate it into our family's lifestyle. So often we all eat crap because it's easier! No more!! I am working more fruits and vegetables back into our palates. So far the kids are kinda surprised at what they like! Anyone have suggestions on how to increase veggie intake for kids?? I'm all ears.....

So far so good! I just hope I can keep it up! I have noticed little things, like I have more energy and have been in a better mood. Hubs and I are getting along better. We have been having regular date nights and that helps too! Until I got sick recently I was getting more housework done..... All in all it's a decent year so far!

Resolution Renovation

I decided to take a different approach to making a resolution...and yes I said A resolution. Now I can't take credit for all of this myself....I got some helpful advice from some wonderful people like Jillian Michaels,  Bob Harper and a couple other TV personalities.

I have decided that this year is going to be about me! I am going to take more time for myself. I thought this was a good resolution that I could build on, one general goal that I can expand on during the upcoming year!!

So I started off small...kinda... I got my hair cut. This may not sound like much, but it had been over a year. I was actually thinking of cutting it myself. But I didn't! So Saturday afternoon while my girls and I were at the mall, I stopped in to get it done. I already new what I was going to do and they were able to take me right away!! It was like a huge weight was lifted!! I love it so much (Pictures to come!!) I am even thinking about taking it a little shorter! And don't get me wrong I loved my long hair, but I need a change. This week I'm hoping to play with the color!!

I know getting my hair cut doesn't sound like a big deal, but it's hard for me to find the time for little things like this. I know it doesn't take long, but I don't always have a lot of extra time/money for the little things sometimes!

Instead of just saying I'm going on a diet or going to exercise more. I'm going to expand on my All About Me philosophy!!  One of my first goals is making sure I drink plenty of water everyday. I feel so much better when I do. Once I get that down...I will expand...slowly...more fruits and veggies.....time on treadmill....etc.

This is the Year of Melissa.....and it's going to be a great one!!
