2010 Lifestyle Adaptations

With such a “Debbie Downer” post yesterday…thought I would publically (and therefore also hopefully adding accountability) announce my 2010 goals and action plan for meaningful living.

1. Fitness- college, holidays and excuses have gotten me out of shape and more cushy than I’d like to admit. I am making a commitment to fitness. I’d like to restart Bikram Yoga…however, due to a 8-5 work schedule, budget and dogs that need to see the light of day…it will probably have to be a weekend thing. So long walks and slowly, pick up running again. This also means saying goodbye to my Camels. Doctors appointment for Chantix.

2. Food- in general, less of it. This one clearly goes hand in hand with the fitness. Adam and I will be going back on a low carb, high veggie, high H2O diet. This will mean that we will have to cut out Little Caesar’s nights, Chinese Movie Nights, popcorn, cookie making and pretty much all of our fatty habits(we are both fat kids at heart). He and I have both done it before and we rise victorious again! I foresee a reset in my calorie calculator app on my iPhone.

3. Devil’s Water- putting it all away. Plain and simple. Time to find enriching ways to spend time…not destructive.

4. Intellectual- plans to invest in some graphic design classes. I’m tired of conception without creation. I have the $$ (thanks to graduation!) for a Mac. I want this one. New job offered to pay for some training. I just graduated but need to continue my skill set, so someday I can strike it rich (or at least strike it totally off of mom’s tab). More frequent blogs…to continue my online presence and keep me in the mix. Also, must play around with Google Wave. Reading! I have already, but must get back into books.

5. Spirituality- this one is a little more personal. I have been slowly searching of something to speak to my soul. I believe I am close but want to continue seeking.

Reflecting on the year was a downer. Looking at accomplishable goals makes me enthused and energized. New Year’s will go out with a bang up in the mountains…lots of friends, laughter, food, drink and fun. Then it’s business time literally and figuratively!
