Operation 2012 is off to a good start. I ate better yesterday, exercised this morning with 3 times as many people as are usually at the gym (I know it is the resolution thing that makes it crowded). Family.....spent time, a few personal minutes with Nelson, Megan, Hayden and Gary. The other focus areas are being worked on between the musical and being able to say No I need time for myself.
It's another day to succeed!

Operation 2012
Happy New Year, 2012!
No resolutions for me I am under taking Operation 2012.........like resolutions, but it sounds more important so maybe I'll succeed more and fail less.
Operation 2012 will have focus areas with sub goals in each area....maybe!??!
Family Focus - more personal, one on one time with each child and my Hubby.
Spiritual Focus - I found a 48 week program for knowing and following Jesus Christ. I began implementation today.
Personal Focus - I decided that this was necessary after re-reading President Uchtdorf's talk from the RS meeting; Forget Me Not
Community Focus - More service...listen to the spirit, pray for opportunities and Do IT!
Physical Focus- the usual, eat healthy, exercise, drink more water. For January I am cutting out the bread...this will be hard for me but I can do it.
Creative Focus - Find a class or work on a project a week ( after the musical is over).
I need to clear my head so as to think clearer and do better planning....but as for now
Operation 2012 is underway!

Wednesday Weigh In....... a Day Early
I just can't wait and I know it has been a while since I did a weight post........But I just had to brag. I reached my end of September goal and lost the stupid 15 pounds I have been fighting over for the last 4 months. And when I say lost, I mean I haven't been doing the up 2 and down 1 and dance around the goal weight for a week now so I know it is gone...sorry to who ever finds the lost 15 lbs.
DRUM ROLL....SO IN THREE YEARS I HAVE LOST 80 LBS AND KEPT IT OFF. Yes, it has been a slow go but, I haven't gained any of it back so that good.
Interestingly enough is the fact that I have noticed that I am eating smaller amounts at meals and not snacking on crap...except for white cheddar Cheetos every once in a while.......I guess I am really learning new habits.
The other interesting thing is that my clothing that was big but okay to wear isn't even okay to wear now.........what a great and potentially expensive problem to have!
Now for the last 30 lbs. I would like to loose. I haven't decided on the goal date but I am considering of doing it all by my birthday in March as a gift to me. Everyone tells me that it is harder the less you have to loose. I know that this last 15 was a chore.
Yeah for me!

September Goals
Yes, it is the 6th and I am just setting my monthly goals. But I never feel like September begins until after Labor Day...and speaking of Labor Day, I hate it when we have to labor.....back to goals.
I mentioned the two big paint projects, actually there was one huge one and a tiny one and the tiny one is done as for the big one I am not so down with "Venezuelan Sea" now I have lived with it in a large patch for a week. I like it but it doesn't make me happy like the other colors of paint I have painted through out my house. It will be a great accent color for something....$45.00 mistake, It could have been worse. I am now leaning toward a great bright green color...surprise, not.....called Agave, you know like the cactus. It is much more me and makes me happy. I had a patch of it on the walls for a while and really liked it just not where I was testing it out.
Goals
1. Finish the big paint project. Which leads to several smaller projects: A-Reorganize & store the beauty supplies. B-Clean out the Mud Room. C-Get rid of the extra furniture in the downstairs family room. D-DI run.
2. Keep working on the diet or should I say health and fitness thing and loose 25 more pounds....I know not all of it in this month but maybe 5 to 10 permanent loss pounds by the end of the month. Meg and I walk 3 miles 5 days a week. I am slow walker but I keep doing it, yeah for me. As for the Diet- I weigh a whole lot less than it says on my drivers license, yeah! I think the last time I weighed this much was between the birth of Meg and Nelson, that would be 22 to 26 years ago....much too long. The interesting thing with weight loss is that you may weigh less but your proportions change, or the remaining fat rearranges itself. I have two clothing Items that I have kept around as goal clothing, lets just say the items fit weird and I don't think that even with the last 25 pounds I want to loose that they will fit any better....just interesting. This is something we are trying to remind skinny minnie Laurie about, she is frustrated by her clothing size; she weighs a lot less that she ever has, but she is still wearing her former skinny size and not a size or two smaller.
3. Find a new life path...I know I have been talking about this for several months now, but I really need to get going on it. Any suggestions will be considered.
4. Get ready for the Holidays...yes, this thought is a dirty word, but I would really like to be one of those people who is done by the first week of December with the decorating, shopping, wrapping, baking, cards, etc....
Fall is a favorite so maybe that alone will be enough to spur me on.

What happened?
- So where did the summer go? I blinked and it is gone...unfortunately so is the time to accomplish my summer goals.....for the most part they were just wishes. I guess I need to be a better goal setter and follower.
- Today is the first JV Football game of the season. It will be fun to see Hayden actually play football. It will also be warm which is nice for now.
- School has started and wow, with only one in public school things are nice. It has been this way for the last two years, but for some reason I am really feeling it this time...I guess it is because Hayden can drive and doesn't need my help as much anymore. He seems to have a great class schedule for the first half of his jr year. He is doing the usual; English, Math, & History, along with Team Conditioning, Seminary, Musical and 2 choir classes.....I guess it isn't really the usual since he has honors and concurrent college enrollment classes......yes he is a smart one. He is also playing football, the leading male in the musical, v.p. of Phoenix Mens Choir, and has been asked to be on several committees and clubs........oh to be so busy and popular!?!?!?!
- 91 days and about 5 hours to go until Elder Call returns home to Utah....that is Thanksgiving Day at 7:00pm form LAX.
- Captain A is 7 1/2 months old. He is trying to crawl, and climb. He was so cute at Sunday dinner; we sat him up to the table with us and he tried to join in the conversation in his own jiberjabber way....so Call like to be adding his two cents to the conversation.
- So what happened ? LIFE! it keeps moving forward and you just have to hang on and hope that you are participating and getting it all done. Another season is about to arrive and it's okay, I will make more goals and plans and maybe this time I will get them done.

New Beginnings
Happy New Year! That is how I feel about a new school year starting. The Facebook status' from all the kids going back to school were kind of grim, but I am so glad to get back to "normal".....I know where did summer go, I can't believe how time files, etc...
But come on school schedule is the regular in most households.
I love the schedule school puts the whole family on. I hope I can keep as good a schedule once I no longer have school to depend on.
Since it is a new beginning what are my new goals? A couple of weeks ago I thought about this but didn't really plan for much....
After yesterdays Temple Dedication I plan to attend the temple more often and have even put it on my schedule just like any other appointment.
I have a few things around the house I would like to get done by Christmas - Loft and Basement projects....
Speaking of projects - we decided that hitting the TV in the family room to make it work was getting old....sometimes even the hitting wasn't working and then you have to wait for 30 min with it on before a picture would appear...so Saturday afternoon we purchased a new TV. The new TV is large and thus it necessitates a mini room remodel.....but the mess that goes with this min remodel is anything but mini....Gary and the boys got it all hooked up and the other electronics with it, now I have to decide what I am going to do with the rest of the stuff....it is covering the floor in three rooms.
I told Gary to think babies and toddlers when moving things and setting up.....little fingers like to explore and tug and change things...He was good to put everything just out of reach, now I need to do the same when I return things to the shelves.
Back to goals and planning:
I need to do something more learning based- I will have to look into what is available at the community school. I know they often offer a "Photo shop" class and I have signed up for it a few times , but then i have had to drop it due to my bad planning....maybe this year.
I have a few more hours this fall since I don't need to go to Football games Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays....only Thursdays and the other days if I want to, not as a parent participant.
I also want to make a few things for the baby.....
Oh what to do....to many choices and all of them good.

Resolution Planning
2009,will it be another year to fail?
Okay, so it is just days to the New Year, what will my new resolutions be? I usually don't like making resolutions for the New Year because the resolutions just remind me of my past failures at personal goal setting.
Growing up we always were goal setters and achievers ..... I now am a goal think abouter. I have a really hard time setting a goal,making a plan and sticking too it .... Something about and Elephant and obtainable is ringing in my ears...but hey, I want the whole thing now and not just an elephant hair.
So where to begin.....what do I want to accomplish this year? My mom always reminds me that the year will pass, so I might as well accomplish something.
When I asked the fam what I should resolve to do they looked at me with blank stares.....then commented that they thought I had already made enough plans for the New Year.....hellooooo these are plans, a resolution is a personal goal, accomplishment or a change you are working on.... personally.
So, should I resolve to exercise....I have failed at this numerous times, how about diet....another failure. When I wrote to Nelson this morning the idea came to me to work on ....... (this is going to sound church centerfold....which I'm not)... I felt like I needed to work on being Steadfast and Immovable in Christ, just like the VT message for January...... easy, but hard and so very churchy..... churchy isn't bad but ........ I will keep on working on resolution ideas.....
