Checking on my 2011 New Year's Resolutions
I wrote a blog post on January 1st welcoming the new year and also stating my New Year’s resolutions. Let’s see how I am doing. The Hello 2011 blog post stated:
1. Working out (let’s be honest, not so good. I did join two intramural soccer teams) and that was a workout multiple times a week. I tried to wii fit, but once I got a job that declined significantly. But the year is not over yet. I am still hopeful to work out!
2. Read my Bible more consistently. This is still a struggle for me. It is not like I do not enjoy reading it. When I did not have a job, I was reading all the time and everyday. Once employed, it seemed a lot harder, which is silly. I just need to make more time with the Lord. I have stayed strong with reading the Devotions for Women on the Go by: Stephen Arterburn and Pam Farrel. I really enjoy reading it and it is very easy to read while I am brushing my teeth at night. It is a great reminder to get it out!
3. To save money! Sean and I have done a great job at this. We were crazy, or at least I was in the beginning of the year trying not to spend anything. We have been a little less crazy, but still have been very conscious about what we buy and if we REALLY need it. It sucks sometimes, when I wanted to buy something I really liked and it was even on sale! We do allow ourselves to buy things once a month and that has been nice. We did trade our iPhones in, Sean eventually got his back and I still do not have mine. I found out that I did not use mine as much as I thought I did. Sean on the other hand, died when he gave up his and we saved so he could get one a couple months later. Oh boys and their toys. We also cancelled our cable, which I was so excited! I only watch shows that are accessible online, Sean was bummed because he missed out on his sports.
Has anyone kept their 2011 New Year's Resolutions? Please share!
