Resolutions Revisited

Whoa this year went by quick, right?  Seems like just yesterday I was making big plans for fast running and going back to school.  Let's have a look-see back on the last year and how I did on all those goals/resolutions.

Resolution #1: Run faster.  Well, I PR'd in a half marathon by about 2 minutes.  So I guess this one was fulfilled.  However, all that fast running set me up for a bum knee and no fall racing.  So it doesn't really feel like I accomplished a lot in the area of running.  Maybe next year?

Resolution #2: Be more organized, get good grades.  I'm not so sure about the organization part, but I rocked the grades this year.  School has actually been such a good thing for me.  I know I run around like a crazy person and talk about how busy I am (I'm not really), but I think I need that kind of "stress" to keep me sane.

Resolution #3: Debt free, stop spending money.  We paid off Drew's car which was kind of a huge deal.  Now we put that money towards my newly acquired student loans so that by the time I get out of school *hopefully* we will be able to pay them off in one fell swoop and get to be debt free again.  As for the not spending money, I need to get back on that bandwagon.

Resolution #4: Vacations: Whoa.  I totally blew this one.  I listed like 4 mini-vacations we were going to take: Nashville, Kentucky, Skiing, and a float trip.  Nada.  Not one of those trips came to fruition.  Lame.

Resolution #5: Something about Eclipse: Okay, this one wasn't really a resolution... more like something I was looking forward to in the year 2010.  Don't freak out when I say this: I'm kind of over it.  Like... I don't really know when the next movie comes out and I don't really care either.  I guess vampires & werewolves are so last year.

Resolution #6: Start eating clean:  Although we definitely don't eat "clean" all the time, I think we've really cleaned up our eating this year.  We eat a lot less processed foods and eat a lot more whole, natural, real food.  I still bake way too many cookies, cakes, and whatnot, but overall I'd say we've made real progress.  Go us!

So there you have it... a somewhat productive year.  I really love that I recorded stuff on the blog... because usually by this time of the year I have absolutely no idea what resolutions I made the prior year.

How about you?  How'd you do in 2010?
