Resolutions Shmesolutions!

Ya'll know I don't like "resolutions" so I didn't make any this year.  I did make my 10 in '10 list though.  Let's see how it's going!

The List:
1. Clean my home studio! (and keep it cleaned)
2. Create at least one new and healthly meal each week
3. Work out, work out, work out!
4. Give more than I receive. Some form of hands-on charity. Not just giving of the $$ this year.
5. Solidify some plans for my family
6. Settle into a budget and savings plan
7. Learn something new
8. Start and complete PROJECT: 365
9. Turn 30 with a smile
10. Focus on the Lord, through consistently going to church, sharing Him with J and others and reading my Bible.


The Progress:
1. Ha! Haven't even touched it.  I did, however, spend hours yesterday cleaning the rest of the house.  I scrubbed floors, I dusted, I mopped, I vacuumed, I did it all...except the studio.

2. I am kicking butt and taking names.  I have created so many new and healthy meals already that I better slow down or else I will run out of recipes before the summer.  As we speak I type I have yeast rolls rising on the counter and a healthy chicken noodle soup simmering in the crockpot.  Awww yeah!

3.  Errrrday!  That is right!  I am down 2.6lbs from BEFORE the holidays and God knows I didn't weigh in during or directly after that two week long fat fest.

4.  I hope I am doing this.  I am blessed so I feel like I am always receiving.  I am looking for ways to volunteer.  I have contacted a great lady at Project Linus and plan to start making some blankets for the little babies. 

5.  I'm praying about it.  That is all a girl can do at the moment.

6. Again, praying about it.  We have also only ate out once this week.  Well, I have only ate out once this week.  On Thursday I splurged on small Diet Coke and a Fresco Steak Soft Taco from Taco Bell.  Can a girl get some credit?!  I said a SMALL Diet Coke.  Woot! Go Lisa! Go Lisa!  Normally I consume a large and drink every sip.  It's not on my 10 in '10 but I am also trying to cut back on my ridiculous amount of Diet Coke.

7.  If recipes count, then check.  If not, then I have another 11.5 months to go.

8.  Started!  10 days down, 355 to go! Word.....

9.  Ahhh, 10 months to go.

10. This is going well.  I am trying to be the light.  I am trying to honestly think "what would Jesus do."  I have been focusing on being loving, encouraging, supportive, and uplifting to J throughout everything, everyday.  We do need to go to church.  Somedays I wish church wasn't 45 minutes away.  It makes it tough.  

Thanks for checking in and catching up with me.  It's been a good 10 days!  It is January 10th, right?  Wouldn't it be funny if it was only the 9th? I'm such a dork.  Off to check the date....

10 in '10

I am not one for resolutions because, well, they rarely get kept for the entire year and I don't like them.  I was thrilled when I saw Shanna doing a 10 in '10 list so I had to follow suit.  I have thought about and prayed about what I would like to work on in 2010.  Here is my list!

1. Clean my home studio! (and keep it cleaned)
2. Create at least one new and healthly meal each week
3. Work out, work out, work out!
4. Give more than I receive.  Some form of hands-on charity.  Not just giving of the $$ this year.
5. Solidify some plans for my family
6. Settle into a budget and savings plan
7. Learn something new
8. Start and complete PROJECT: 365
9. Turn 30 with a smile
10. Focus on the Lord, through consistently going to church, sharing Him with J and others and reading my Bible.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
