New Years Resolutions Update

So far I am definitely persisting through the hard times. 

Not sticking to my budgets, but I have found an iPhone app that miiiiight help...to be continued on that.

I was doing good running in the beginning of the year, but have kinda sucked with that from March-now. Hoping to get into that again with a few races coming up!

I am totally drinking more water. I have this sweet water bottle that I got from the Ryder Cup, and I love it! It helps me drink more water when I love my waterbottle :) Oh, and Crystal Light Peach  Iced Tea helps!

Trying new things.....welllll....I want to learn how to sew, does that count? Also, I am doing some yoga this summer with a friend :)

Starting to enjoy my life a little more again....
