Looking back and ahead

I know it is late for a New Year's post, but better late than never right...?   Anyways, when I was reviewing my New Year's resolutions that I made for last year, I realized that I had not even done one of them at all consistently, or really at all. I  rationalized that was due to having Tristan and all the changes that came with having a new baby and even though I followed thru on none of my goals, it was one of the happiest years in my life, granted it could have been better I guess if I had kept some of my goals.  But the point of this is that this year, I am determined to be better at keeping my New Year's resolutions.

 For New Year's we went to St. George for the holiday and my bro-in-law gave a talk on setting goals (full disclosure we didn't actually make it to church to hear the talk because ryan forgot his church pants but we heard that it was really good and that he talked about doing one spiritual goal, one physical goal and one social goal). So, i have decided to do that.


My spiritual goal is to get to the temple at least once a quarter. I know its not a lot, but it will be an improvement over last year.

My social goal is that me and Ryan are going to have one real date a month.


 My physical goal is to get back in shape, at least to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, and to do that by having a specific work out and eating goal every month.  So, for January, my goal was to do an hour work out video mon.-fri.,  (p90X) and not eat after 8:30 pm.  So far, I have  done pretty good, I only missed one work out, but made up for it on sat.,  weekends I haven't been as strict about not eating after 8:30, but have done it pretty consistently during the week. I haven't really lost any weight so I think I might have to do something more drastic with my eating, but if I try to eat less I have less self control about eating sweets... so that doesn't really work well for me. What has worked for everyone, any suggestions?
