Keeping Resolutions?

Tuesday, March 24, 2009

Hmm... so it is almost the end of March, and as I was looking at past posts I saw the one about Stephen and I's New Years Resolutions. Let's see how we're doing...

These were mine, I'll rate them fail or success.

1. Hmm... i know everyone makes this one, but i'm going to really really try to eat better this year, and work out. Starting my first job and sitting at a desk all day really makes you gain weight... I think I'm going to try to buy a Wii to have more fun and to work out as well.

  • Ha, Fail! This one has totally gone out the window. I've tried, I really have but it's not working out as well as I would have wanted. I also have not bought a Wii, as I made a new resolution to save more money. Though, Stephen has left his x-box at my apartment for a little while, so I can always workout my rockstar skills.

2. I'm also going to try to cook more meals at home. I want to try to learn at least 15 good recipes that I can cycle out so I won't get bored. (My Magic Bullet and Crock Pot Christmas presents should help me out!)

  • I would say 1/2 fail, 1/2 success. This has kinda worked... Though I usually end up making Sesame Chicken or totino's pizza's :( Not exactly good for you. I will keep trying!

3. I want to start studying again for either Law School or to get my MBA. Not sure exactly when this will take place, but I at least want to get a head start.

  • On the road to success? I actually decided which one I want to study for, my MBA and I bought a really good book this weekend to start studying for it! I'm going to study all through the summer and take the GMAT in the fall. Then I'll apply in december-ish and hopefully hear back in the spring, and really hopefully be going back to school in fall of 2010.

4. Clean my room more

  • Success! Well, I wasn't very good at this for the past couple months because I've been so busy with going back and forth to New Braunfels, BUT this past weekend I cleaned my room better than ever and so far I've been able to keep it like that!

5. Spend more time with my Family.

  • Sucesss. With my sister Lindsey being sick, I've been going to New Braunfels almost every other weekend which, though it is exhausting, has been nice to spend more time with my family. Also, my brother and dad are coming up this weekend so that my brother can compete in the high school state bowling championships, lol.

Wow, not entirely a loss, I would say I kept 3.5 out of 5! This has been such a hard and difficult year so far, that I'm proud of myself for even keeping that many. I'm going to keep working toward these goals and see how i'm doing in another 3 months. I'm also going to add to my goals...

1. Save more money (Try to analyze what i'm spending my money on, and be better at not!)

2. Try to wake up earlier so I can not feel so rushed in the morning

I'll ask Stephen to rate his and I'll post his responses later :)
