2010 Andrea’s Resolutions

// January 28th, 2010 // Uncategorized

I figured I better keep a list, this list can grow and expand as I seem to be adding new resolutions each week so far these are the goals for the year:

1. No shopping at Wal-Mart, I can use my Sam’s club card four more times before it expires but only if I have another person benefitting from the sales with me.

2. 5.75 rolls of paper towels will last me the year. No more paper waste; use reusable napkins, towels, cups and plates.

3. No disposable diapers or wipes. I have a package left, those can be backup for rare cases of bad rash or broken washing machine. I will only use disposable wipes if absolutely necessary otherwise I will bring my reusable ones.

4. Lose 40 lbs by Ainsley’s first birthday.

Start weight: 217 First Goal weight: 177 OVERALL GOAL: 140

5. Try to conceive baby #2 after the summer.

6. Meet my Twitter friend and comrade, Julie (JUJUBE, twitter.com/lmsdiapers) after we have lost our weight sometime this summer! So save money for this family vacation!

7. Start and maintain a compost pile (stop wasting veggies/fruit/coffee in plastic trash bags dump in pile)

8. Spread the word of Cloth Diapers and bring Eco-Friendly behavior to Oklahoma through, Little Squigglers store and blog

9. Continue spreading the word of the benefits of Breastfeeding & Natural Baby Products

10. Complete a mini triathelon in June with my brother Philip. (this is my most daunting, I really need to start training and I haven’t ahhrgghhh)

11. Use my ginormous yard and grow some food. I hate the heat, I literally melt but I will try to have a garden and grow some of our veggies and herbs this year.

If I forgot any let me know!
