To Do 2011


2010 brought many changes in my life - I began taking more time for myself. I have spent the last 17 years living for my children, working full time and going to school full time, while all of that was happening I let myself go I gained 75lbs and put everyone in front of myself. As a result I had high blood pressure and lord only knows what else. So I vowed that in 2010 I was going to take my life back and for the most part I have completely committed to this "resolution". there have been some slips and falls (the last 2 months included) but the core effort is still there and I have come so far from where I was this time last year. So this year I'm going to step up the healthy living a bit more and in addition to the exercising and healthy eating I am going to do my best to eat/ feed my family as organically and local as possible. Living in coastal carolina it's not to difficult to find local fresh fruits and veggies and I think I found a grass fed beef connection :) There are several things I would like to accomplish or work on this year so here goes the list:

  1. See above eat better
  2. Volunteer (already in the works - checking into volunteering at the NC aquarium & therapy horse group)
  3. Try 1 new cheese every month (strange I know but I have discovered I like fancy cheese)
  4. Tour a winery
  5. Let it start with me - don't let stress get to me and learn that I should lead by example in all I do
  6. Continue my effort towards a more sustainable lifestyle (DON'T LET THE RECYCLE BINS GET FULL ACTUALLY TAKE THEM TO THE CENTER WEEKLY!)
  7. Budget Budget Budget and Follow that budget
I just want to live a better more grown up life in the year to come and do my best to be more responsible personally and for my community and my world :)
