2010 goals

Now that my recaps are out of the way it is time to finally reveal my New Years Resolutions...or goals if you will. My attempts at resolutions in prior years have been a little half-assed so this year I am going to use my blog to keep myself accountable. I plan on posting once a month to update my progress, if you don't care just skip those post, I'm really doing it to keep track for myself! Not that any words on encouragement are not great appreciated!

In addition to making the goals I am going to list what steps I am taking to achieve them so that can be updated as the months go on.

Ready? Here we go...

1) Lose 20 pounds by the end of the year.
I have blogged about this before (and lost weight before) but I really want to change my lifestyle. No more fad dieting. I don't think that I look overweight and I have never been called overweight but I would like to weigh less and generally be more in shape...and hotter of course. This is the first time I am putting a number on what I want to lose so hopefully that will help.
Steps:
-Complete the 30 Day Shred (preferably within 30 days or a little bit longer)
-Make a nice salad for dinner at least once a week. Nice means protein and good toppings, not just a bowl of lettuce.

2)Take more pictures
This one will hopefully be the easiest to do and the hardest to track so I may end up changing it mid-year. Along with it I would like to keep my pictures more organized.
Steps:
-Ummm just take random pictures? And carry my camera more!


3)Get accepted to a Masters in Teaching program
You all know my applications are in so instead of steps I will let you know where I stand with each school as of now. (they are ranked 1, 2 and 3 based on my preference for going there)
School 1: Has my completed application, should be contacting me soon for an interview.
School 2: Is giving me some crap about letters of recommendation (they say that they can't take one because the person didn't say they "supervised" me) but since I requested 3 people send them and they only need 2 it should be all good (knock on wood.) They are going to get back to me and let me know if they have the final letter when "they are done opening the mail from over the break."
School 3: No word as of yet.


So there are my goals...here's hoping 2010 is a great year!
