2011 Update!

I set some goals for myself this year, here they are again:

1. Give up pop.

2. Try one new recipe a week!
3. Learn to knit.
4. Take a family vacation! I'm praying it will be Disney, but we'll be happy with Wisconsin dells.
5. Blog more regularly!
6. Finish my year long Bible reading plan.

And now here's my update for each:

1.  Give up pop. Well....not so great.  I went 28 days without pop!  Which really is a HUGE accomplishment for me!!!  However the weekend we moved I just couldn't do it...I NEEDED a diet coke.  So I caved.  Now we are not drinking pop M-F and only letting ourselves have it on the weekend.  My dr. said it's a good idea to give it up over the course of a year to have the best results.  So I'm happy with our progress.  We don't drink NEARLY the amount of pop that we used to. 

2.  Try 1 new recipe a week.  Yeah...not so great.  I tried a recipe to season ground pork to sausage.  It was really good, except a little too salty.  I also tried a new chicken pot pie recipe.  So I technically have tried 2 new recipes.  Only 50 to go!!  I'm a little behind but now that we are settled in our new place & we are on the road to being healthy I'm ready to get going on this one!

3.  Learn to knit.  DONE!

4.  Family vacation....originally it was going to be Florida or Wisconsin Dells.  That has completely changed now!  We are going to CALIFORNIA!!!!!  A good family friend (who's more like a sister) is getting married on the beach in San Diego in May so we are all going!!!  I was the only one who was going to go originally but we decided to do our family vacation there!!!  I am SO excited!  We'll be booking everything within the next week or two.  We are going to spend a couple days in Los Angeles and then head down to San Diego!  Universal Studios, Legoland & Disney are all on the agenda!!!! 

5.  Blog more regularly!  I'm hoping to get better! We are getting a laptop next week which will help.  I can blog & watch tv at the same time.  Also, I have decided to do Project365.  Basically you make a point of taking a picture everyday and I am going to try & blog it everyday too.  Might end up being more of a weekly recap in pictures, we'll see.  Either way it will help me blog more often!

6.  Finish my year long Bible reading plan.  I am behind...quite a bit actually.  However I am getting back on track and should be caught up by the end of this month.  I have read nearly 20% of the Bible so far, and that is an accomplishment I am really proud of!!!


I am hoping by next months update I will be doing much better on all of my goals!!!
