On my birthday I posted a "to do" list... Here's me being accountable for myself and taking a look at how I'm doing.
1. Lose 27 lbs. by Christmas
1.5. I lost 10, which I think is a good start. I took a break from WW from Thanksgiving to New Years, now I'm back on, and feeling good.
2. Read more with Xander and Noah
2.5. Definitely doing this, especially at bed time - we love Boynton books!
3. Get involved at church
3.5. I'm one of the leaders for our bi-monthly playgroup
4. Remember my own bags when I go shopping
4.5. Was doing well bringing back the paper bags with handles, now doing really well with my stylish new envirosax
5. Take a biology class
5.5. Not yet... I didn't realize how much commitment this would be, especially since most classes include a lab. Maybe this summer.
6. Drink more water
6.5. Pretty good, especially if I put a slice of lemon or lime in.
7. Unpack
7.5. Definitely done!
8. Keep a cleaner house
8.5. Yes, I think I have done much better at embracing my 'Domestic Goddess' position.
9. Get dressed (almost) every morning
9.5. We leave the house at least 3 days during the week, so overall better.
10. Run the dishwasher only every other day
10.5. Probably run it 4 times a week. yay!
11. Be nicer to Dan when he gets home from work
11.5. Dan says I'm better, but I think I could continue to work on this
12. Nap less
12.5. Doing, but using that time to sit mindlessly in front of the computer, now I need to be productive during that time.
13. Go for walks
13.5. Forgot about this one, maybe we'll go for one today
14. Pray more
14.5. Yes, but there's always room for more!
15. Eat more whole foods
16. Buy fewer processed foods
15.5-16.5. These have have tough with WW, it's much easier to count points with frozen dinners, but I definitely have added for fresh fruits and veggies in to my diet. Call it a draw.
17. Update the babysite frequently
17.5 Doing, but obviously not blogging very much, which is silly, cause it's very therapeautic...
18. Get Life Insurance
18.5 Done!
19. Have digital photos printed
19.5 Not so much... better stick that one on my bulletin board
20. Be consistent about putting sunscreen on Xander and Noah
20.5 Well this is not as relevant right now, but I did pretty good through short sleeve weather.
21. Do a charity fundraiser
21.5 Been thinking about this lately, need to find a good cancer one, as cancer has affected several close people this year.
22. Learn to drive stick shift
22.5 Tried once, it's so hard to find time!
23. Watch less TV
23.5 I think I'm watching less, but have been letting the boys watch more than I think is okay...
24. Dance more
24.5 This is easy, Noah, Xander and I love to dance, especially in the car, they got mama's rhythm, poor kids
25. Make myself a dress
25.5 Hmmm, this was an ambitious one... guess I'll start sketching26. Enjoy my children every day
26.5 They definitely make me laugh everyday :)
27. Be more thankful
27.5 I'm saying thank-you more, and I think it's accompolishing this
So, I think I'm doing alright. Definitely some more to work on, but it's nice to see some things are done or at least progressing. I promise to blog more often, because it certainly helps clear my head!

Hey, did you get your envirosax for Xmas? I am working on our taxes and noticed a Lisowski on the purchase list ( my SIL must have mailed those out so I didn't see it before) Do you like them? :)
2 birds/goals one stone.. Team In Training... lose those pesky lbs and do the charity funraiser for cancer research! http://www.teamintraining.org/firsttimehere/tellmemore/?OTC-TMM&attr=tnt20
And have a huge salad w/ your dinner.. surely that's not a lot of points w/ WW... ??

Yes, I did get the envirosax for Christmas, I asked for them, of course, with a link to your site :) They're awesome! My friend was very jealous of how nice they fold up. (If others are now dying to find out about these, there's a link in the original post)
I'm pretty sure I'm not triathelete material, but I think I will do Relay for Life, and I can 'train' for that by taking walks. Salads are pretty low points, although not with delicious avocados :)
Great to see you blogging again, and with such a great list of accomplishments. I will work on my when I get back from vacation.
I'm pretty sure you had an offer to watch the boys while you learned to drive stick very recently and you turned it down!
