1. Weight Loss:
- The annual challenge is upon us again. This time it's for real. At work, Daryl and some co-workers are on a mission to each lose 20 lbs by May 1st. Hopefully with the help of each other, they will all be able to attain their goals. For the record, Daryl might be the heaviest he has been...ever. Although I personally don't think he looks it. But he is 25 lbs heavier than he was 4 years ago when he was probably in the best shape of his life with his Ironman Triathlon training. For me, I still have the last 5 lbs of baby weight to shed in order to get back to pre-pregnancy weight. Of course an extra 7-8 lbs of weight loss on top of that would be ideal. So I should target to lose 10-12 lbs. I've decided that water will be my weapon of choice. I heard from a gal-pal that if you drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water, you can lose weight, stay hydrated, and just feel better without changing your lifestyle (diet and exercise) that drastically. E.g. 130 lbs = 65 oz of water each day. Very doable, don't you think? It's actually been a good jump start for me so far even though we are only in the 5th day of the new year.
- Need I say more. In the land of America, I just have too much stuff. I'm on a mission to donate all those items I've been hanging on to for years thinking someday I may need them (watch, just when I get rid of them, I WILL need them...oh well). Now that we have 2 kids in the house, all that extra stuff does not have a place anymore. Yes, our 3800 SF home was full to the brim before kids and now with all the baby/kid stuff, we definitely have no extra room. So, de-clutter it is.
Wish us luck on our new endeavors!

We have the same resolutions, but you will probably reach yours faster. We have to make room for 7 people in our 1480 sq. ft. house and we each need to loose about 35 lbs. I can out do you in the goal setting, but I'm sure you two will top us in your goal reaching.
