Goals/Resolutions of 2012

WAKE UP!  Or is it just me that is super exhausted from Christmas?  We did a lot of traveling in the past 3 days.  The sad part is, it never felt like Christmas.  Florida was hot so it made me think it was July 4th weekend. But I am sure we will make up for it by celebrating again this weekend with my family. 

I was thinking about my goals for 2012 and I am pretty pleased with what I came up with.  But first we must look at 2011.

Run 500 Miles

Run a Half Marathon
Pay Off Debt and Stay Debt Free
Open A Roth IRA

Complete 5 Things from my 30 Things List
Learn More about Baking (ie make awesome cupcakes)
Hone in on my goal pant size

**************************************************************

I didnt hit 500 miles.  I ran into some foot issues, time issues, and motivation issues this year.  With my elliptical miles, I logged 476.  But I dont think I can count the elliptical. 

I ran TWO half marathons!

I stayed debt free for a good chunk of the year, but thanks to moving and the holidays, I have a new goal to set for 2012  :(

I dont know why I always make the same "open an IRA" resolution.  

I think I did a good amount of reading this year.  My favorite book this year was The Help for sure. 

5 things from my list: I went on a girls trip, went on a picnic, saw NYC, moved ahead in my career, and I am learning to be handy

I have definitely learned a lot about baking this year. 

hahah my pant size is far, far away.

What is in store for 2012?  I am going to make this an easy year. 

Be healthy.  I am not going to say "lose xxx pounds."  I think I have found the flaws in dieting (at least for me).  I let a number rule my life.  I get mad when I dont see much change.  This year I am going to change my mindset and focus more on how I FEEL and how much clothes fit.  

Pay off debt/save save save.  I want/will buy a house this year.  I cant stand renting anymore.  Not only does renting suck, but according to some insider sources, the market is about to get a little worse and I should expect to see more pop up.  Win for home buyers.  

Become more involved in running.  I want to be more active in the physical and the social side of running. I am not sure where to start, but with a little research I see this happening soon

and the hardest one.....

Give up my beloved french fries.  I will lose sleep over this.  Matt said I should challenge myself and give up something I love the most.  I obviously love sweets the most, but I am also learning to bake.  He chose french fries.  UGH!  In return, he is going to give up drinking pop.  I cant say this one is going to be easy (because I LOVE fries, but worth trying)
