More Resolutions

With New Year's several days behind us and the majority of life returning to normal, Angie and I have been able to finally sit down and relax. I will be heading back to work tomorrow, which I am a little worried about since I was out all last week, first up in MD to spend New Year's with family and then back in Mt. P to get the house further recovered from the work that we had done in early December. Angie and I have agreed on one resolution so far, and I am hoping that the only reason others aren't unanimous is because they haven't been discussed yet. The unanimous one was our health, as I had previously mentioned. It has only been several days and two things are abundantly clear: eating healthily is easier for me then it is for Angie (so far) and all the healthy proteins make one quite, err, gassy. It hasn't been disastrous yet no open flame incidents but we both have wondered whether using the fireplace is a good idea or not. I know Angie wants to do this, and we have made it pretty easy by having lots of healthy snacks around for us (trail mix for her and I am popping wasabi peas like it was job), but she still has the french-fry cravings that have been a long-standing tradition for her. Angie has decided I make a great stay-at-home husband these last few days and is a little leery about having the up at 5, gone at 6, home at 4:30, in bed by 9 husband back, but I am sure we will not miss a beat come Monday. Several other changes (resolutions) should help us with that, especially the activity together plan. We are both (hopefully?) looking forward to doing some sort of activity together in the evening when she gets home from work. So far we have been dog walking together, starting since after Christmas last year. We may bike-ride on occasion too, and other options are there, but mainly we both want to do some sort of physical activity together every night. I am hoping that typing this up will be good way for me to reinforce it and to have record of what I intended to do, so we can keep up with it and not let it slide. So many resolutions are either to major, to minor or totally unplanned and as a result get put off or ignored. While the planning prior to was a little shoddy, I hope that post-resolution planning will make it stick.
Well this sums up my first and second resolutions, plus a little insight to my thoughts on resolutions in general. Read my sisters blog from start to current would be a good resolution for all of you people.
