Big Little Moment #22-2012 Goals

I can't believe how fast time flies!  It's 2012 already and that means....I'll be leaving my twenties behind.  Yes, I'll be turning 30!  Haha, I never thought this day will come.  But I'm super excited now.  There's a lot of change coming up in my 30th year.  So much so that I feel like I'm starting all over again.  It's scary at times because I really don't know what lies ahead of me.  One thing is for sure, I have to have faith in the plan God has set forth for me.  So here goes, my goals for 2012.

Health

• Lose 15 pounds at get back to my pre pregnancy weight.
• Eat a better diet.  I feel like my pregnancy cravings never went away even after giving birth.  I love junk food.  I want to eat more natural foods, veggies, and fruits.

• Take more vitamins.
