Resolutions and nonresolutions

Rusty has been a very good boy this year. For a long time now he has been making efforts to exercise and eat right, but he decided that 2010 was THE YEAR. He joined an online support group called Transformation.com. They have a whole system to help you eat and exercise and make life changes. I have to say that he is doing awesome- even when I tempt him with mint oreo cookies :) ha, ha, ha.

Typically every January the kids and I take magazines and make a vision board/goal sheet to put in the front of our homeschool notebooks. Usually I have no problem choosing a few things to tackle in the new year, but this year I have drawn a complete blank. I lack any resolution. It sounds lame, but I'm the kind of person that doesn't make a commitment unless I feel relatively confident that I can keep it, and honestly I have no idea what the year will bring so I'm choosing to abstain from commitments.

I'm hoping when we get "settled" somewhere I will be able to regain my desire for self improvement and get back on track, but for now I decided I will simply support the more motivated member of our relationship in fulfilling his resolution. So I've taken Rusty's cookbook and planned meals and menus to meet his diet plan. We've had all sorts of new meals in the last 2 weeks. Also I'm not whining when Rusty stays at work late to "work out." See what a nice wife I am :) And I've only tempted him with cookies once.

Rusty said I shouldn't post his pre-pictures yet until he has some awesome post pictures to show his progress. So instead I'll post pictures of our cupboards and fridge- yes you read right. For some reason Rusty took pre and post pictures of our kitchen stuffs to prove that we bought all the "good" stuff. He said it was one of the group assignment, but I think he wanted to feel better about the huge grocery bill.
