Countdown to 2011. This Fit Mom’s Resolutions. Kickstart the New Year & Join Me for Online Weekly Workouts

Happy New YOU everyone! 2011 is almost here.....What are your New Year's Resolutions?

What a roller coaster ride this year has been, just last year at this time.....after taking time off to start a family, I decided to re-enter the tv and fitness biz.  Trying to juggle 3 businesses, start 2 new ones, caring for the kids, taking care of the house...etc.....and the kids now 8 and 4 are needing more and more of my patience each day.

So that is my 1st resolution:

• To be more patient. More deep breaths and self induced time outs when the kids get to me.

More resolutions (I am ambitious, I know!?)

• To try a new fresh juice recipe once per week using different fruits and veggies (I'll share these with you and post the videos & blogs online - so you can try them too! Besure and join my email list and check back often for the videos & posts!)


• De-clutter. Toss anything we haven't used in a year and donate it to charity. I believe that if your space is cluttered, so is your mind.


• Not to be so hard on myself when I don't finish 150% of my "to do list." and...NOT to add more to my "to do list" when I do finish it!? I need to realize that I can only do my very best and need to be very proud of myself when I do it


• To get to bed by 10 pm every night and sleep until 6am. (this will be a real challenge. I seem to get the most done for my work when the kids are asleep and the chores are done.)


• To hug and kiss my kids and hubby more than I already do


• To walk and run my loyal dogs 3 times per week


• Film the remake of "Kiana's Flex Appeal" for Fox Sports Network,  write a Fit Mom Book and develop 2 new Video Blogs


• Lastly...To workout more, eat healthfully and drink lots of water..... Oh wait, I already do that one...YES! (a little Fit Mom humor)


• and...Bring weekly workouts to FitMomTV.com so millions of Moms worldwide can get on a regular workout schedule and train with me online!

As I was typing this blog, the kids asked me what resolutions were. I explained it to them and asked them to share theirs with you. Here they are:



My 8 year old's resolutions are:

• to remember when my Mommy says to do something


• not argue with Mommy, Daddy & my sister


• not be so bossy


• keep my room cleaner


• eat more healthy fruit


• remember to do my chores without Mommy asking me 5 times (okay I added the "without Mommy asking me 5 times part")

My 4 year old's resolutions are:

• to remember to feed my dog and give him water


• keep my room clean


• take my dishes over after dinner


• not argue with my sister


• pick up my toys after I play with them

Sugar Junkie Blog by Rebecca Hill. New Year's Resolutions

Okay, it’s time for New Year’s resolutions!

But before I go in to that, I want to apologize to my friend, Mamatha, for quoting her incorrectly in last week’s blog. In my desire to understand the things that have happened in my life recently, I projected. I wrote that Mamatha told Santa she wanted to learn “patience and understanding.” This morning I happened to look at her photo again, and saw that what she actually said was that she wanted to learn “patience and ACCEPTANCE.”

Understanding vs. Acceptance; there’s a big difference in those two words and I’ve been thinking about it for hours as Tom and I did 9 loads! of laundry today. UNDERSTANDING means that you’re still seeking to comprehend a situation so it makes sense on a logical level. ACCEPTANCE means being at peace with a situation, whether you understand it or not.

With all of the changes that have happened in my life, I really contemplated that today. And I’m going to borrow (okay, flat out steal) part of Mamatha’s “Santa wish” and turn it into my New Year’s resolution.

So, my New Year’s resolution is to learn to find acceptance even if I don’t understand a situation. Acceptance – that “what is” …is. That’s resolution #1.

Resolution #2 is EVEN HARDER! In 2011, I vow to learn to love the squat machine at Curves!

I asked some other women what their New Year’s resolutions were:

Careen from Atlanta said, “My resolution is to start exercising and eating better. I bought my husband and myself a 2-month membership on Groupon to a gym. For $35 we get 8 personal training sessions, a meeting with a nutritionist and access to the gym for 2 months. I figured that was a GREAT deal for $35. I think it's all about getting into a routine.”

Here in Los Angeles, Griffin said her New Year’s resolution is “to run a half marathon!! And volunteer more :)”  (Griffin has already done some volunteer teaching in Africa so cheers right back at you, Griffin!)

Cynthia said, “I resolve to take better complete care of myself - physically and psychologically.  I plan to consider "Me First".  Not in a selfish way, but in a way that will help those I come in contact with on a daily basis.  If I take better care of myself, I can be better to all those I care for and interact with (esp. my beloved David).  I plan to give myself good nutrition, loving encouragement, and time for myself.  I believe positive happiness is contagious.   (Just as negative feelings can run rampant too.)  Why not start, foster, and nurture the inside first and bubble over to the everything else?!”

And Suzanne said, “I don’t usually make resolutions - but I do take stock of the year behind and think of ways I want the next year to look - I keep the things that worked well for the year and think about shifting other things that didn’t seem to benefit my life. Last year I did something different with my friend Emily- we thought up 3 resolutions for each other which was fun too- one of hers for me was to do another gardening class- which I did and loved!”

I love that: assigning New Year’s Resolutions to each other! Kiana, can you kick off this conversation by “assigning” a New Year’s Resolution to all of us? Something obtainable but that would definitely benefit our lives? (And while you’re at it, what’s your New Year’s Resolution?)

Anyone else? We’d love you to share your New Year’s resolutions with us so we can be inspired, awed or amused. (I hear you laughing at my resolution but I really do think I can learn to love that darn squat machine! I think I can…I think I can…I think I can…I KNOW I can!)  ;-)

Happy New Year y’all! I hope 2011 is a good year for all of us!
