11 Goals From 2011

A few days ago when I was going through my night stand, I came across the little piece of paper from 2011 where I had written 11 goals for the year. It was kind of fun to re-read them and see which ones I did, and which ones I didn't do. 

Here's My 11 Goals From 2011:

1. Learn iMovie and make two movies. Well, I sort of started making one movie, but didn't get very far. However, I did learn a little bit more about using iMovie. I learned how to edit simple home videos and upload them to the blog. Just for fun, here's one of them. It's B trying to do 30 Day Shred with me. 

2. Replace judgmental thoughts with positive thoughts. Kind of hard to measure this one, but I tried!

3. PR at the Boston Marathon. Nope. I did train harder and get in better shape than I've ever been, but race day wasn't my day, or I guess I should say race week wasn't my week. You can read about the Boston Rundown here. 

4. Become certified in exercise instruction and start teaching. I did get certified through AFAA, but decided to put off teaching until my kids are older. B was not a fan of the gym daycare, especially at the time I got my certification. 

5. Have a full and meaningful Fast every Fast Sunday (once a month). I did much better with this. Fasting has always been hard for me because I like food, and I get grumpy when I'm hungry. I feel like I'm getting much better at it though. 

6. Learn more about sports so I can enjoy them with Scott. Um, I'll be honest, I could have done better. :)  We did go to a couple Spurs games, and a couple hockey games, and I even took B to watch a couple of Scott's intramural basketball games at his work. Those were all fun, but as far as enjoying sports at home, not so much. I'd rather be doing almost anything else than watching sports at home. I'll keep trying to at least be informed about the basics though. :)  

7. De-clutter. I did do a lot of this. I sold some stuff we didn't need on craigslist, and made several small trips to Good Will throughout the year. However, this job will probably never feel done, especially while we're living in an apartment where every inch of space is like gold. 

8. Work on my marathon scrapbook. I ditched the marathon scrapbook and started this blog instead. :) 

9. Publish our 2010 family blog. Yep! (I have a family blog, and I use blurb.com to make it into our family journal/scrapbook each year.) I need to get moving on 2011's book now! 

10. Invite new church members over for dinner or dessert. I might have done this once or twice, but I could have done better! 

11. Do pilates twice a week. I made this goal back when running was pretty much my only form of exercise, and this was me trying to incorporate some cross training into my workout schedule. I did pilates twice a week up until the Boston Marathon and actually learned to like pilates and cross training! After the marathon I backed off on running and fell in love with all sorts of different types of cross training. 

 What was one of your resolutions from 2011? 

I love reading other people's resolutions. It's motivating, and inspiring. 

I'll post my 2012 resolutions soon, so you can all help me to be accountable for them. I just need to finish deciding what they are first!
