A Very Boring New Year's Resolution Update!

It’s time for me to evaluate my progress on my New Year’s Resolutions! Let me warn you. The resolutions sound weird and random standing on their own so if you haven't read the original post on New Year's Resolutions already (Kari's New Year's Resolutions), you may want to go back and take a peek!

No Gluten: I would give myself a C. Better than I have been but I haven’t made it to “No Gluten” status! Baby steps!

Drink More Water: A!! I recently read an article that diet soda drinkers are 44% more likely to suffer a stroke, heart attack or heart disease. I read that article a week ago Friday and stopped my Diet Pepsi habit the following day. Just like that! So far so good!

Make a Dinner Menu: A! I have been making a menu almost every single week! Feels good!

Exercise: B. I had to take a slight diversion. Doctor #3 told me that perhaps I should consider biking or swimming instead of walking/running. So although I have fought it for a few years, I bought a stationary bike. Back on the road again!

Drink Coffee: A!! I drink a big mug of coffee on the way to work every morning! Lovin' it!

Bring My Lunch To Work: B. I have been pretty good but could be better!

Use My State Park Sticker: F. :( I haven’t been to a State Park yet…

Volunteer Less: C. Still volunteering but I did turn down an additional opportunity to volunteer!

Better Balance Between Work and Home: D. Long, long days but I have been able to use my flexible work arrangement a couple of times. My dreams are consumed with work. :(

Spend More Time With Friends: C. I can do better!

I’m looking back now thinking, “Was I crazy to put down 10 New Year’s Resolutions?”  Yes, I think I WAS!!  I must have been caught up in the moment!

All good things though so I’m going to keep on trying!!

Thought Number 2: I think this is the last New Year's Resolution update!!  BORING!!!!

For those of you who have your own New Year's Resolutions, I hope this finds you successful and beating the odds! :) Or simply being odd. Whatever makes you happiest!

Keep on smiling!
