I'm going to try to keep a running tab on my resolutions at least once a month, so here goes:

Fitness - In the 3 monts I've been working out, I've lost 20 lbs.  I've enjoyed wieght-lifting and spinning.  I've been talking to my trainer about taking it to the next level and I had to choose between training for a tri-athalon or for an amateur body-building competition.  I've decided to persue bodybuilding first and see how it goes.  The first competition is in December.

Finance - Through being really careful and lot's of belt-tightening by tracking every single purshase, we've saved $4000.  Hubby wants to break ground on a pool this spring, but I don't know.  The weather in the midwest limits pool use to 3 or 4 months a year.  I'd rather have a sun-room with a jacuzzi.  But with the teens, a pool would be a good way to keep them and their friends at home....

Family - Things are going well and now that all five of the girls are all 8 and over, Hubby and I are talking about adopting a boy.  It would be nice to have a little one in the house again and experience life with a boy in the house.  It's just talk so far....  We are also may consider fostering instead.

Fecal Connectivity - Well, I've finally come to some conclusions on the state of my spiritual journey.  (This is THE most exciting part!!!)  I've enrolled in the Maharashi University in Fairfield Iowa to start my Master's degree and then complete a PHD!  http://www.mum.edu" title="http://www.mum.edu" target="_blank"http://www.mum.edu It was founded by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.  As far as I know, this is the only university in the states that requires daily transcendental meditation.  And it's only about 70 miles away!!!  I start this fall and I cannot wait!!!  I commute is a bit long, a little over an hour, but the family is very supportive.  I will be working on Vedic Science degrees.  Here's a copy of the course description: 

"In these courses students cover all of the major themes of Maharishi Vedic Science, including the philosophy of action, higher states of consciousness, and collective consciousness. Students study the most recent books written by Maharishi, as well as his first book, the Science of Being and Art of Living. Students develop writing and speaking skills as they apply Maharishi Vedic Science to health, education, management, and rehabilitation."
