Goals: Update on 2010 and set up of 2011
Between Jan and March – Lose 10lbs
Turns out prayers and lighting of candles in church don’t work as well as eating less and exercising. Needless to say this did not go well, but I did manage to lose 13 lbs and keep it off all year (I haven’t weighed myself after the holidays….but let’s stay positive here!)
Try something new every quarter: Make earrings and try to finish my scarf
Okay – the scarf is still not finished ….but there is still hope in 2011. However, I did very well with the jewelry makin’. I earned over $350 just selling it to co-workers and friends. Yay!
Read a classic
Total failure….however, James Patterson rocks!!
Exercise twice a week for 4 weeks straight
Please read ‘lighting of candles and prayer’ route on goal #1
Make a new friend
I am so picky with the people I allow in my life that this one did not turn out as I planned, but I am keeping it as a 2011 goal. Do you have any friends you might want to recommend?
Write a short story and submit to a magazine
Chickened out on this one…..kluck! kluck!
Take a class at the local Community College
Wow! I just realized how much I suck at keeping my goals! The answer to this one is ‘No’ because I was too busy watching all the show’s I DVR’d (good excuse right?!).
Be a better listener
Finally! This one I actually did do. I mean, don’t get me wrong—I still interrupt when I shouldn’t and I still tell my niece to ‘Shut Up’ when I know she’s trying to bull shit me…but I have improved. Yay for me!!
Read my bible and journal once a week
I am ashamed to say I did not complete this one. However, I did take our pastors words to heart and tried to put them into action whenever possible. I guess this one is between me and the big boss in the heaven.
Do or say something nice to someone, once a day
Yes and No. I did do this one, not once a day because I realized I am NOT that nice, but when I did – it was genuine.
