I hope everyone had a safe and happy new year. I rang in the year with a movie marathon with my husband and the pets and we went promptly to bed at midnight. Now that the craziness of the holidays is over with I am back and ready for a new year. I always make a list of resolutions. We I don’t call them resolutions. They are my big overall to do list. I always start my day with a to do list and this is just the one I start the year with. Some are lofty goals and some are ones I know will be easier to obtain. I will check in as the year goes on to and let you know how it each one goes.
Resolutions for 2010
• Travel three places that I have never been.
• Run two 5k races by my birthday (October) and a 10k on Thanksgiving at the Turkey Trot.
• Build a vegetable and herb garden in the Spring.
• Do one home improvement project job on the house every month.
• Continue on my weight loss journey in a healthy way.
• Continue attending one yoga and one dance class a week.
• Continue weight training at the gym three days a week.
• Work on getting our grocery bill to be less than $100 a week. (How we spend so much at the grocery store is beyond me for just two people.)
• Buy a set of bikes for the hubby and me and start biking.
• Spend more weekend days at the beach.
• Put more money aside for fun trips.
• Try camping.
• Try one new dish a week.
• Attempt to dress cuter. (This means actually taking the time to care about my appearance and not just waking up and leaving for work.)
Until Next Time,
Christine

I really like the idea of this as a to-do list. Somehow that makes it seem more manageable than a resolution list. It's all semantics though right?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Christine! You inspire me as well. I can't wait to keep hearing from you in the new year :D
I like the one about planting a garden. Did you happen to see Iron Chef on Sunday night where they got to pick the vegetables from the White House Garden? It was spectacular. I would love to be able to just go outside and pick food and make it.
ReplyDeleteAs for your food bill. I have a family of 5 so saving on groceries for me is HUGE! Do you have an Aldi near you? They have a line of Fit and Active Foods that are really good. I save about 1/2 what I would spend at a regular store. Also, do you have a Trader Joe's near you? They have great frozen stuff that's cheap. Like, frozen fruits for smoothies, frozen chicken breasts, frozen vegetables that would last you two a long time.
Best of luck on your 2010 goals!
