New Years "Goals" Update

I'm a little late on this but here's my status...all and all I'm pretty proud of myself.  And while life has changed a bit in 6 months (aka...moving to a new city/state)...I think I can accomplish the remainder in the next 5 months! And notice that there are a lot of "changed to" updates to my list.  I'm a realist.  Life changes, so you adapt!

10. Loose the last 20 pounds by March 1st. 
So close yet so far :( I made it to the last 10 pounds and then I had my horrible hives that caused me to go on some major steriods.  I gained 10 pounds since then :(  Back to losing the final 20 I go (this time on my own...no meds, just excercise "gulp" and lack of will power).  First yoga class today!



9. Take 1 bubble bath a week (cheesy, but sometimes I need some relax time) 
CHANGED TO:
 read at least one chapter a day (any book you want)
Well I made it all the way to May on this until I moved...to a house with no real soaking tub :(  So I changed my goal to something else that relaxes me...reading!  Love it.  Very easy to do!


8.Take 1 yoga or Pilate's class a week (healthy mind and body is the concept I am going for in 2009)
Failing miserably.   Starting classes today.

7.I will finally go visit my friends WITH GEOFF in Texas in Spring (been trying to do that one since 2003)
CAHNGED TO:
 fall 2009 aka TCU homecoming weekend!
Tickets bought...ready to go

6.) Go back to California in spring for Colette's graduation (6.1) Will not be sad when I go back. Will be happy. Mom would have wanted it that way.
Done. 6.1 Done...pictures above :)  Missed graduation though, but made it to California and visited my grandmother.

5.) Get my teaching credential
CHANGED TO:
Get into grad school to get M.ED
George Washington starts classes end of August!!

4.) Once a month, get in the garden and plant something new. Post what I plant
Have been planting have not been posting.

3.)Volunteer once a month with any organization (Humane Society, homeless shelter, church etc)
CHANGED TO:
Donate once a month to any organization

2.)  Eat at least 5 meals at home a week. (this is going to be the HARDEST one by far)
Did so well....until I packed up the kitchen and moved up here.  Doing better since I bought a food/rice steamer.  Still have a ways to go!
 
 
Noticed I have one goal missing?  Well since I didn't real goal #10 I didn't plan that trip to Greece.  BUT my husband still wants to take it before he gets a job up here since who knows when he will be able to accrue that much vacation time again!  We'll see that happens.
