Resolutions Check!

Ok.  So I know this is the last day to do this to meet my goal!  :)

1.)  Good Thoughts Jar I actually have more than 5 notes in my good thoughts jar.  So far...1/11.  :)

2.)  Photo Challenge  So I kinda did half of this.  I have a picture on my instagram of Indoor Play when Ryan and I babysat a Brother's son one evening.  But I didn't actually get a second picture.  :/  1.5/11

3.)  Writing Challenge  Ok.  So this one is kinda on hold because I haven't picked a month yet, so let's change this around 1.5/10.

4.)  Fitness Challenge every quarter  So I started the Abs challenge this month and due to illness (and pure sleepiness) I stopped about 2/3 of the way through the month.  Maybe in February or March.  Let's update that total again...1.5/9

5.)  Yoga Challenge  I have not been doing this one very well.  At the most I've done yoga about three times in one week.  I'm hoping to try and up this in the upcoming month.  I'll give myself about a half a point on this one.  2/9

6.)  Healthy Recipe once a month  As you all know, I am a baker!  So naturally, I picked a baked good to be a healthy recipe.  I was skeptical as it is a muffin that has both zucchini and carrots in it, but it was actually very good!  Ryan even enjoyed it.  These are a must do again! 3/9

7.) Completed craft project once a month  I started on a project, but I'm no where near completing it.  I can't give myself a point for that one.
  
8.)  Cards  Check!  I sent out 5 cards this month.  :)  I'm enjoying hand writing letters to people so far.  4/9

9.)  Bible plan daily  I've been doing great.  I'm closer to finishing the One Year Bible plan.  Recently, I've started the Made to Crave reading plan.  I've enjoyed the plan so far.  It's focus is on fitness and healthy living and how we can shift focus from food/weight/exercising to God and everything will fall into place. 5/9

10.) Donate monthly  My first donation was made to the Phi Sigma Pi Epsilon Xi Chapter for Bluegrass Regional Conference.  I'm hoping that they receive a 5-star conference award (the highest award for a regional conference in the fraternity).  I know it was a small donation, but hopefully it'll be spent making the conference awesome!  6/9

11.)  Blog at least twice a month  This makes number 2!  ;)  7/9


78% is pretty good I would say!  Sorry this post is pretty short and to the point.  I'm ready for a nap! ;)

First Post of 2014

Happy New Year!  I hope all of you reading this had a wonderful new year!  Ryan and I had a nice quiet New Year's Eve celebration that consisted of walking around Opry Mills, eating at Johnny Rockets, watching American Hustle, and watching the New York ball drop with my parents.  :) 

Anyway, I wanted to share something with all of you.  Ryan and I read through my "Good Thoughts Jar" for 2013 since I'm starting it again for 2014 (have you read my last post about my resolutions?).  Anyway, it was so cool to read through them.  I highly recommend everyone doing it!  Sometimes you forget some of the blessings that have happened throughout the year.  Luckily I wrote down several small happy moments that I was able to relive when I read it. 

That's all that I have for right now.  I just wanted to point that out.  I also did a little blog template updating.  I went with the winter theme because it's super cold here in Johnson City.  I also added a new blog to the blog roll -->.  It's my bro, Alex's, blog about his experiences living in the Philippines.  He arrived there safely right before the New Year (Philippine time).  Anyway, that's pretty much it.   I'm considering a new blog title.  I'm not sure what to change it to.  I need some inspiration.
