After 2 1/2 years of trying my husband and I finally became pregnant in May/09. Unfortunately we lost the pregnancy at 11 weeks.
Hopefully this will happen for us in 2010!!

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I joined Zip.ca and listed lots of movies. Anytime a friend recommended a movie I made sure to zip it. I also bought movie passes through work and made sure that I saw the movies that I really wanted to at the theatre. Read how I did it…
It made me
feel free
How I did it: My boyfriend at the time and I were in a huge fight; he got pissed and started to leave and I decided to leave with him. We grabbed some cd's and just got in the car. We drove for about 8/9 hours nad ended up in the most beautiful little town. Slept a few hours in a hotel and started back home that day. Read how I did it…
It made me
less stressed
How I did it: I started a blog years ago on LiveJournal. I didn't know much about graphic design and so I was pretty intimidated to start my own from scratch. LJ or Blogger are great ways to start a blog and get involved in the blogging communities. Read how I did it…

This is not going so well. It is the middle of February and I have only read 2 books so far.
I really need to stop spending so much time on the computer and watching movies if I want to accomplish this goal.

I started a Learn To Run class 4 weeks ago and so far so good.
I run 3x a week and I would like to incorporate some daily sit-ups and push-ups plus one other day of activity.
