but....everyone needs some self improvement, so here we go....
1) Start riding my BIKE again...Finally! It's been too long. I'm currently a flabby weakling. That needs to change.
2) Complete a century ride with my dad in May, and do our local Tour of the Unknown Coast ride, also in May....though whether this will be 63 or 100 miles I am not going to say. That 100 miles is TOUGH. And frankly time spent training for that one is time away from my family. So...we'll just aim for the above for now.
3) No internet/blog/facebook time during my work days. There's just not enough time in my life for these things during the week. Especially if I need to get on my bike more. I really should give it up all together, but I do enjoy these things and with us choosing not to watch TV, it is my little entertainment outlet, so, during the week, bye bye.
4) Be the best mom, wife, and friend I know how to be.
That's it. I think all the above will make me happier overall and give me more time for family, for health...mental and physical, and therfore be better mama :-) Becuase that is what it truly is all about right now....

Good luck Katie! We too have been cutting tv and internet time around here! I too would like to get working out again but it is hard to find the time!!
I know Ashley, isn't it!!! And then I find the time and feel guilty bc. I'm not spending time with Forrest. Because my work schedule is pretty heavy, I have that never ending guilt about it....I guess that should be another resolution, to do away with guilt!!!!
I was going to say that these all sound like good ideas and I have been planning to give up more computer, kinda goes with the "live in the moment".
But, I also want to say: YES, do away with GUILT!!! While you can! I'm so very bad about that, but if you can get a handle on it now, your life with possibly more kids will be easier. And when you feel guilty about working out and taking time away, think about the many gifts you are giving to your children....you're healthy, a good example for their health, more energy for you to play with them when you around, and the list goes on and on and on!!! Nike has it right, Just Do It (although it is easy t say and hard to do, I know that too).
Best of luck to both of you.
