New Spin on New Years Resolutions...

So here's what I am thinking a year is just to long to commit. We all start out so determined and then so many well intentioned plans fall by the wayside about early to mid February with feelings of defeat and sadness. So inspired by the idea of my good friends and fellow bloggers MM & AM's running a mile a day in December and the reality show 30 days. I am breaking my new years resolutions down by months. The idea is that I am just committing to shorter time and at the end of those 30 days I will have instead feelings of accomplishment, fulfillment and satisfaction. Also along the way I just might learn more about myself, grow in these areas and further strengthen my relationship with God and others. I will confess I thought of not doing much in the way of resolutions for 2010 and just survive the wild rid of becoming a parent but then I thought hey I am going to be a mom and its more important than ever to continue to become person I want to be for her, not perfect but never halting in my efforts to grow and challenge myself. So I am putting it out there for accountability and welcome any others to make their own 30 day plans for a better you in 2010!

January - Ryan and I are committing to eating out only one lunch and one dinner each week.

February- Ryan and I are committing to reading a scripture and praying together each night.

March- Limit myself to one soda a week.

April- This is having a baby month. I think I will leave this month at that.

May- Shopping fast, No extra-curricular shopping only groceries and the necessities, I admit I picked this month thinking with a newborn this will be easier to stick too.

June- No Sweets/Dessert.

July, August, Sept, - Start training to Run 5K at Race for Cure in October

October, November, Dec - Continue training to run the 10K at my work's Reindeer Run next Dec.
