Click here to read my first resolution blog of 2010.
I am not well on my way to achieving my 2010 goals, but all is not lost. I still have time, and I even remember what 2 out the 3 goals were when I wrote my resolution blog at the beginning of the year.
1. Pay Off Visa
This is the goal I think about most often, and the one I feel I'm still most likely to achieve even with limited success so far.Current Balance: $881.52Current Minimum Payment: $19 (11.7% APR)To Pay Off by January 1, 2011 Minimum Payment: $90 per month (that's up from $81 when I first decided to make this a goal)
2. Eat More Vegetables
This is the goal I forgot about... Kind of! My crappy diet is something I'm always thinking about but often ignore. I specifically chose to focus on eating more vegetables to simplify the goal of "eat better". Instead of focusing on switching every bad food I eat for a good food I want to attack the goal differently by incorporating one segment of a larger goal and inadvertantly achieving the bigger goal in the process.
Thinking about adding more vegetables to my diet is a lot less stress inducing than thinking about all the chocolate I shouldn't have eaten or can't eat anymore of. My progress on this goal is slim to none. I am trying to journal my food at least twice a week on Sparkpeople.com. I used to log my food everyday but I fell out of that habit a while ago and I'm trying to build it back into my routine. I will journal one day I feel I've done well, and one day I know is not going so well. That way I'll really know if my idea of a good day is all that good and see what kind of damage I've done on a bad day.
3. Fit into a smaller bridesmaid dress than last time.
I am not succeeding at this goal. I LOVE going to Project Fitness, I LooooOOovve the workouts. My trainer is excellent. I am just not consistently going. It's a shame. I can change it, but I need to focus hard on changing my routine and using work time for work. Then winding down at least 8 hours before getting up for the day and going to my noon Pfit class.Simple as that. Just have to make it happen.I have sacrificed sleep and/or a good breakfast to make it to class. The results are not good. The workouts are very intense and when I sacrifice sleep and fuel to get there I get sick and then feel like a whiner-drama queen. For this goal I will focus on getting a good nights sleep with at least 8 hours before heading to Project Fitness.
The Bottom Line:
Each paycheck I will pay $45 (or more) toward my visa.I will make vegetables the "star" when thinking about meals.I will focus to make sleep a priority.
