New Years Resolutions

Not much happened this weekend, except for Mom & Dad (and Penny!) coming to my house Saturday night for a yummy steak dinner cooked on my new grill! Note to self...don't grill in 30 degree weather.

So I guess I should start working on my New Years Resolutions. Yep, resolutionS not resolution. I treat this time of the year as a check-up and usually do a little check-in every 4 months or so. I like to look at all areas of my life and see what needs improvement. So here goes:

Health/Fitness/Wellness:

• 250 Workouts in 2009 (This is my goal every year and I actually meet it pretty often!)
• Run 3 5K's and 1 10K (I'm sure Tara & Hillary will help me out with this one!)
• Eat Healthy - Do my big "Get Back on Track" Diet twice a year (I'm starting it again on January 1st!)
• Get regular check-ups at the doctor and dentist (I tend to cancel, say I'm going to reschedule and then I forget)
• Give up sweets again for Lent
• Run a Trail Run
• Take more Tennis Lessons
• Play more golf this year (Dad will help with this one!)

Family/Relationships/Friends:

• Spend more time with family & friends
• Have more Girl's Nights & Double Dates
• Host more dinners at the house for friends (with my new grill!)
• Have a Date Night with Jeff every week
• Keep in touch more with family and friends...birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

Spritual:

• Attend regular church services on Sunday mornings, Bible studies on Tuesday nights, and Night's of Worship one Friday out of the month.
• Read the entire Bible (I'm already about 1/3rd of the way through)
• Vacation - Italy Trip!! Make the most of it and take as many pictures as possible to document this amazing trip!
• Blog more about Bible Study/Church Services that interest me
• Give 10% or more every week to offering
• STOP WORRYING SO MUCH! (This is a big one for me as most of you already know)

Professional:

• Get A's in my Graduate School classes
• Make a study schedule for each class and stick to it
• Apply for any career advancement opportunities that become available
• Get as much feedback from peers and supervisors as possible
• Learn more about each department/job in the office
• Help whenever and where ever I can in the office

Financial:

• Stick to budget - 35% Housing, 15% Debt (Credit Card, Student Loan, Car Payment), 15% Transportation, 10% Savings, 25% Other Living Expenses (The Fun Stuff)
• Save more money after car is paid off

Charity/Volunteer Work:

• 100 hours Volunteer work (This is a goal that I will fulfill within the Junior League, a volunteer organization I am a member of...www.juniorleaguenwa.org)
