*Update* As I begin to begin using this once again, I feel it is necessary to review the goals I did and did not make through 2011. This Journal is as much about completing my resolutions as they are meeting my weight loss goals. So that I see them and remind myself that I am indeed insane, I'm posting them up at the very top of the journal. Consider this a call for cheerleading! I am in need of someone (or several someones) who can cheerlead me through these resolutions!

As for 2010, I would like to celebrate first and foremost that I started down the path of weight loss, and ended the year with just over 30 pounds lost! I will continue with this project.

Onto the Resolutions:

Health: --DID NOT succeed in any of these goals at all, especially after September of 2011.

I want to lose 80lbs and weigh under 200 by December 31st. DIDN'T EVEN COME CLOSE
I resolve to go to the gym at least twice a week and once during the weekend.--
My goal is to go to the gym at least four times a week.
I want to be more stringent on brushing my teeth after lunch!
I'm limiting myself to 1 fast food meal during the week.
I want to cook at least two dinners a week.
Friday lunch and Saturdays are my not-so-stringent days - (if I'm good on Saturday though, I can be not-so-stringent on Sunday)
I have to remember that going out to eat doesn't mean I have to be bad!
I will absolutely stay on my diet track Monday through Thursday!
I will treat myself to spa sessions on an as needed basis.
I will learn to write all this down!! And keep it organized!!

Education/Cultural:

I want to go to at least 2 lectures or seminars this year.
I want to read more: I'm going to strive for 20 books this year.
I will complete Les Miserables this year (there are exactly 365 chapters in the book.)
I will go to at least 2 performances of fine arts this year.
I will complete the Rosetta Stone Spanish Course I recieved for Christmas two years ago!

Organization: NOPE.

I will strive to keep my house clean!!
I will do laundry more than once a week!
My car-It will be clean!

Financial: I'm on track for this.

I will continue to have great credit.
I will become as debt free as possible (and put extra payments on my mortgage!).
I will put money away for my retirement.

Employment: Little did I know that my job nearly drove me insane. Thankfully I stayed employed until I found a new job that is less stressful, closer to home, and with a track to continue forward with my career.

Stay employed this year! (Okay, so it sounds awful, but I've changed jobs twice in two years, both because contracts ended and funding dried up. Now that I'm in a non-contract job, it should be no problem, but still... its on my list.)
Keep my current salary range! (I really should hope it goes up, but I don't want to set my hopes up too high!)
