Exercise 3 times a week

Pay off 3 bills

Reach my goal weight finally!

Finish 2 tubes of lip balm-Stop picking my lips

Temple once a month

Well I'm happy to say that I am still plugging away...

• I now have 10 1/2 books left to read
• 14 1/2 knitted hats left (I forgot how to finish the hat)- Needless to say its still in the works, but it will be done!
• Still reading the Old Testament. I'm now officially into it 128 pages!
• Blogging away! Just trying to decide different things to write about is the hard part....I find it weird that my Muffin Top posting has officially as of today been the most read of my blogs...So I guess I should post more about my muffin!!! NOT
• Graduate college! Well I'm one more month closer, but I'm SO  ready for it to be over!
• Run a marathon...Not quite ready yet, but I did start running again after not putting my running shoes on for a few months.  Ran over 2 miles on the first day back...Not too bad
• 2-5K...Officially signed up for The Color Run on Feb 25...VERY EXCITED!
• 1-10K...Not yet, but will do for sure
• Exercise 3 times a week...I have to admit, this was very hard for me to get started again.  I finally started a couple weeks ago exercising on and off, but last week I TOTALLY kicked it into gear.  So far I am doing much better!  And believe it or not, I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!!!
• Pay off 3 bills...Well again this is a work in progress, but it will happen
• Reach my goal weight finally.  Again a work in progress.  Lost a pound and a half :/  Just have to keep working at it.  I know its a slow process.  It already has been, but sometimes I feel like giving up!!!
• Finish 2 tube of lip balm and stop picking my lips...This is a horrible habit I have had for years...When I am stressed I pick at my lips, so I have kept a tube of lip balm near me at all times.  If I find myself picking at my lips I will grab the lip balm and put it on.  I am doing pretty good at it so far.  When I have picked my lips, I realize I am doing it and grab for the lip balm...Again, a work in progress!
• Temple once a month...Got there last night!  Last day of the month, but made it...

So as of today... and checking my progress one month into the new year, I think I am doing pretty good.  Some of these resolutions/goals have been harder than what I thought, but I seriously did challenge myself with some of these.

Stay tuned...
