I don't think I ever got around to making resolutions for 2010, and let's be honest, I only had one...survive! Well, I did. And I accomplished so much more than I could have dreamed!
2010 Accomplishments:
1) Lost all of the baby/IVF/Previous employer's weight - I weigh less now than the number that's on my driver's license, which I know I weighed more than when I got married. It's possible that I weigh less now than when I met Striker. In fact I'm pretty sure of it. I haven't worn a pants size this small since high school graduation. How'd I do it? Eat right and be Alex and Tony's mom...50 pounds of baby to carry around and play with all day is a pretty good workout.
2) Exclusively breastfed twins - I had zero expectations of nursing past 6 months and started out just wanting to see how long I could last. I was fortunate enough to be able to quit pumping and just feed my babies when they needed to be fed. Some people would think I'm crazy, crunchy, or whatever. I say that it's free, healthy, and easy. It was a choice that we made as a family and the one that worked the best for the four of us. It CAN be done even if it's not the easiest or most convenient option. I'm proud that we did it and do not have any regrets.
3) Enjoyed the great outdoors - Have BOB, will travel! Farmers Market, MANY parks, the streets of Chino or Eastvale, Disneyland, our hunt for MLB Mickeys, and many more, oh the miles BOB and I walked together while showing Alex and Tony how much fun it is outside.
4) Huge weight was lifted off my shoulders, and in turn, from Striker's. We're better parents and better spouses because of it.
FIG, no need to JAM. Sorry, it's one big brag fest, but 2010 just might have been the year when everything just sort of fell into place. I'm looking forward to all that 2011 brings...even the big 3-0!
