2010 Resolution Recap!

Every year, I do this whole "check in with this year's resolutions" every New Years Eve/New Years Day to see how I did with the year's resolutions...and then post the coming year's resolutions a day or two later. I love New Years Resolutions, as cheesy as they are...even if I don't end up fulfilling them... I even check in with them around my bday (mid year) to see how I'm doing. Yup, I'm lame. Annnnd moving on... haha..

Okay, sooooo the things I resolved to do for 2010 along with updates....

Here's the post from last year....ya know...just to keep me accountable.. haha.. :)

1. Get my slowly-creeping-closer-to-30 (ew) ass in shape. 

This one should just stay on the list every year...haha.. I do SO WELL and then drop off the radar with it. I ran a 5K (my first one!) in early 2010! YAY! Then, I kinda dropped off til summer when I realized I needed to get in gear, so I busted.my.butt. in the gym until just after our trip to Hawaii. I even went to a personal trainer for a little bit...thanks to groupon! So, I think I did alright with this one. Would like to be more consistent, but I'm still pleased with myself. 

2. Finish.my.bedroom. Last year, I got a new bed that I just needed to paint and then I'd planned to revamp the whole room. 

Well, I definitely finished the room....in a new house! ha! I moved in with a roomie in March. :) My bed is painted, I have a yellow, white, and grey thing going on and I definitely dig it! :) This one gets a cheeeeeeeck! 

3. Keep up with the financially planning thing, saving, etc etc.. 

Ah, this is another one that will just stay on the list year after year. I did well, especially by moving in with the roomie and saving some cash. That said, I could definitely do better...*sigh* I put a little more into my 401K this year, so I'll consider this halfway done.

4. Last year and years prior, I maintain traveling or seeing as much of the country/world as fiscally and feasibly possible. I firmly believe life's about experiences as well as the people you share them with. :) I was very blessed to go to out of town quite a bit last year-Dallas with Eric, and some other places... and cant forget St. Lucia! Doubt I'll be taking as fabulous a vacay as St. Lucia this year, but am resolving to take some time off and go somewhere(s) for sure-even more weekend trips-hopefully with that guy I kinda dig. ;)

This year was a great year for trips...Eric and I went to Memphis in the spring, Colorado in the summer and to Maui in the fall! *closing eyes and thinking of Maui....* Also had a fabulous girls trip in the summer! :) I feel like I'm missing somewhere else, but needless to say, my travel resume is growing and that makes me very blessed and thankful. :)

5. Make sure the people I care about KNOW I care about them. 

I suppose I can't really assess this one on my own; you should ask my friends and family... *shrugs* But, I feel like I've been pretty good at this.. :) 

6. Continue personal development professionally. :) 

Well, I guess you can check this one off the list since I CHANGED JOBS this year! Bananas! I obviously didn't see the change coming as evidenced by the resolution..haha. I changed jobs in late April and while it was tough to leave my former job b/c I loved it AND the people there, the move was a good one.  I'm really happy with my new team, work friends and new role. My job is challenging...and that's really good. :) I mean, everyone's jobs have "those days" (*scowl* ha!) but overall, I feel like I can make an impact on the organization through my role there...and that's really cool. :) And I'm also so so so so happy that I'm still close with my friends from my former job, too. So, professional development gets a check!

7. Learn how to cook more (and better..haha)!

I think I get a definite check here. I mean, I made Christmas treats for people at work...and they ate them....and even complimented me on them- that's a huge victory, right?! :) I've also been Debbie Domestic with quite a few other things and I'm proud of myself.  *patting self on back...haha*:) 

So, living a new place, working somewhere new, traveling to Hawaii...

Having a year filled with health, love, positive changes...

It had its challenges, but what year doesn't... 

I'm happy with how 2010 shook out. :)

Wishing you happiness, health, love, and all good things for 2011! Happy New Year, friends! See you in 2011!  CHEERS! :)
