Update: Finished the New Years Race in Downtown LA on my birthday this year
Update: (see#1) two birds with one stone lol
3. Kenya
Update: savings plan for flight ticket is in full effect
4. Full marathon
Update: registering for Anthem Marathon in Richmond, VA, November 16
5. Pay-off credit card and keep it manageable
Update: paid it off the other day
6. Save $1000
Update: committed to & executed a saving plan
7. Buy Violin
8. Strength condition 2x/week
Update: attending a boot camp 2x/week
9. Fast for 40 days
Update: I decided to join the rest of the world in Lent, sort of, or at least I wanted to use these 40 days to knock out my 40 day fast. I chose to stop cursing and wake up at 6am every week day. I need to do better with both of these. I don't curse much but I curse more than I realized. Waking up in the morning is SO hard for me, I do not know why. I am a morning person but the getting up part is taxing.
10. Have daily devotion
Update: One of the reasons I need this list visible daily so I can account for everything
11. 100,000 Tweets
Update: I have not been tweeting really for about 3 months so I think I should 86 this and pick a new item for the list
12. Read 2 books/month
Update: I need to read faster, I am basically at 1/month right now. But something is better than nothing.
13. Grocery Shop Weekly
Update: I have been doing a good job of keeping my fridge stocked with fresh produce for my daily smoothie at the least
14. Allowing my hair to grow
Update: perfect example of my lack of patience and always ready to find a way out (cut my hair when its awkward and I don't like it) instead of finding a way through (experiment with new styles as I transition to different lengths)
15. Louis Tote
Update: In the midst of saving for Kenya and for life, I will have to work this in later in the year, hopefully
16. Memorize a scripture/week
Update: this is probably hand-in-hand with daily devotion so...
17. Commit to my blog (post weekly, maintain it aesthetically, etc)
Update: hello new blog :) see first post
18. Maintain 135lbs
Update: I was 142 late last week, but with my boot camp and consistently healthy meal choices and getting back to running, I will prevail shortly :)
19. Recommit to a clean diet
Update: going well between grocery shopping & passionate commitment. also, working out regularly makes me very picky about my eating bc I don't want to be uncomfy or sluggish for running and strength training.
20. Keep a food journal
Update: I fell off for about 1.5 weeks. But I have been eating well consciously so I am still reaching the goal.
21. Figure out & execute plan to perfect my Spanish
Update: I haven't thought about this much
22. Take my parents and sibling to a nice dinner
Update: I need to plan for this, probably in the summer
23. Acknowledge friends and family via thank you cards and thoughtful notes
Update: I have this great stationary I need to use more often, I bought it for this. I also need to go to the post office and ask why the cards get returned each time I try to send them out. I think when that happened I got discouraged. Again, my patience and staying the course need work.
24. 2013 Christmas Cards
Update: I need to collect addresses
25. 64oz of water daily
Update: thanks to my trusty water bottle I do this with ease. it is over 32 oz, I make sure to drink at least two bottle/day. I usually exceed this. I could not remember to go to the faucet/filter a bajillion times each day to drink water.
26. Get on my knees and pray daily
Update: I have actually been doing well with this, I have missed a few days but I am definitely doing it way more than I have ever done. I just think it is important to really humble myself before God at least once/day. I pray throughout my day about everything but I really wanted to commit to this time. I really need God every hour and I want to actively show that I know that.
27. Stop cursing
Update: work in progress
28. Brazillian, monthly
Update: just had one a cpl weeks ago and I scheduled my next one which should be in 2 weeks, I believe
29. Cook with tofu
Update: I need to just sit down and find a recipe that tickles my fancy
30. Go to a game at Lane Stadium
Update: As a HOKIE and a football fan, I need to be better at getting to Lane Stadium. I miss that place. I need to plan a trip with some of my friends.
Great list, Bih!! I need to polish mine up and post it to my blog as well!!!
