Resolutions.

To my dismay, I did not accomplish my resolutions from 2010. I think I only cooked 3 times the entire year, read about half the Old Testament, drank MORE pop, and...well you get the picture. But on the other hand, I accomplished goals I didn't even set! I read more and watched less television, I prayed more often, and snagged a better pay job that I really enjoy.

This year, I'm taking a more laid back approach because life is too short to feel guilty. I am a planner by nature so I had to set (and reset) some goals I would like to accomplish:

1. Read and meditate on Scripture every morning. Garth and I used to do this every morning over coffee, but life got busy and it became less and less a priority. I miss those times and we are restarting.

2. Live in each moment. I am one of those people always looking for the next big thing. The engagment, the marriage, the honeymoon, the first place, the anniversary, the first house, etc. I want to enjoy where I am at every moment without looking ahead or looking back.

3. Start meal planning and cooking 5 nights a week. This seems lofty since I couldn't even cook 3 nights a week last year, but I know the key to being healthy is making your own meals. Garth and I plan to do this together, and since our move will decrease my commute I will have the time to do it and learn to love it.

4. I want to be in the best shape of my life. I lost a significant amount of weight in 2009 but I never reached my goal weight and I plan to do that this year. I plan on getting back into working out and eating less processed food and more fruits and veggies.

5. Save. We became disciplined savers and bought our first house and now we are going to focus on investing for our future and saving for a trip for our five year anniversary. France or Mexico, anyone?

What are your resolutions or goals this year?
