My 10 in 2010

If you read other blogs you may have seen other bloggers post their 10 in 2010 resolutions. I like the sound of it and thought that 10 would be reasonable as long as I kept them simple goals. My overall goal is to continue living a healthier, happier life.

1. 10,000 steps a day. I can’t believe how hard this is.

2. Eat breakfast every day. I am good 60% of the time but there is still room for improvement and I do feel better when I eat breakfast.

3. Run a 5k. I am thinking of doing the Gasparilla 5k in February but I need to find the courage to do it still.

4. Make one day a week a vegetarian day. It is a cheaper way for us to eat and I want to stretch myself with learning how to make healthy hearty vegetarian meals that my husband will love. Yes I asked him before posting this and he said he is fine with it. He already loves Eggplant Parmesan and vegetable lasagna.

5. Eat dinner 5 nights a week at a table. How come it is so much easier to sit in front of the TV? This is a habit that needs to be broken. I may have to start with doing 2 dinners a week at the table. But by next December I will be at 5. I can only say 5 because on school nights I eat at a desk.

6. Yoga 2x a week. Yoga really helps me manage my stress and I really need to do more.

7. Celebrate my wins by giving myself rewards for finishing a semester of school. I am still figuring out what rewards I want – I have a list of wants- a book, pedicure, massage…so I just have figure it out.

8. Read 5 books for fun. Since getting back into school I have rediscovered my love for reading. I should say books that aren’t work or school related but that are on topics that I find interesting.

9. Travel somewhere I have never been. I am hoping Carlsbad CA in April and maybe Hawaii for Christmas. Maybe even a weekend trip to Winter Park or somewhere else in Florida.

10. Do things for other people. Bruce and I are planning on doing the Disney give a day, get a day. But I want to also look for other ways that I can serve.

What are your resolutions for the new year/ new decade?
