Welcome to Marilyn Vs. Martha my little blog about my quest to be the perfect blend of Domestic Goddess and Sex Goddess. A mix between Marilyn Monroe and Martha Stewart. A new year is upon us and with it the traditional making (and usually breaking) of New Year's Resolutions. In hopes of letting you get to know me a little better I thought I would share mine with you.
Hubby and I after my first 5k in Key West, FL
1) Run six 5ks in 2014: I have never been athletic, I never played a sport...I was a confirmed couch potato and fast food eater. About five months ago I decided I had enough of viewing myself as a non-athlete. My wonderful husband bought me a treadmill and I began to run very slowly. In the beginning I couldn't run a mile without huffing and puffing. It was hard but I completed by first 5k in Decemeber while vacationing with my family in Key West. This year my first resolution is to run six 5ks.
2) No More Yoga Pants: If you are a mom I am sure you know what I am talking about. Frequently we have closets full of clothes but find ourselves running around town in yoga pants with our hair in a ponytail. My resolution is to get up, get dressed, and do my hair and make up 5 times a week. Really don't we all feel better about ourselves when we do this so we can invest the little extra time to get ready in the morning
3) Invest More Time With Friends & Family: 2013 was a rough year, but one that really taught me about the things I want out of life. I want to tell the ones around me more frequently how much they mean to me and invest more time with those I care about. I told a coworker the other day that I was bummed that we weren't working the same schedule because things are more upbeat and happy when she is there. She gave me a hug and said that made her day....Moral of the story tell those in your life how much they mean to you.
What are your resolutions for the new year? Do you keep them or forget about them?
Happy 2014, and I hope this a wonderful new year for everyone!
