My goals for 2011...
1.) Learn how to sew - CHECK - I still have lots to learn, but the fact that I have sewn items to give out as gifts and am not totally embarrassed by them is a plus in my book. I actually have been more crafty overall this past year (thanks somewhat to Pinterest)
2.) Become more familiar with using my DSLR/take a lot of pictures - Ehhhh. This isn't a total failure, but I definitely had higher hopes for this one. I do take my camera everywhere and capture a TON of photos, but I would like to get better at using the Manual mode and capture more artistic photos. I foresee this making the list for 2012!
3.) Get settled in our new home - CHECK - I think we are fairly settled now. I would love to be able to decorate the house better but I have a few roadblocks I am dealing with (no money, decorating is not my strong point, we are in a rental and can't paint, etc.). Since I think we are staying put for a bit longer maybe I will work on decorating now that we are settled.
4.) Accept the fact that I will be 30 this year and that it is not a horrible thing - CHECK - I am 30 and am comfortable with it!
5.) Continue with my efforts to make time for friends/family - CHECK - I am always striving to spend time with friends and family. I put so much into my relationships and am so happy with the results I get in return. I did have to let go of a friendship that was not worth my time/effort, but I have come to peace with it and have moved on.
6.) Continue working out - CHECK - I love running. I currently have an injury I am dealing with, but I am hoping to get a few 5/10Ks under my belt before achieving my ultimate goal of a half marathon.
7.) Expand my horizons with cooking - Weeeeelllll. - CHECK and NON-CHECK - I have been cooking A LOT more, but usually just stick with what I know. I am slowly getting better at it.
8.) Attain healthier eating habits - CHECK - Joining We!ght W@tchers has taught me a lot about making healthier food choices. I have lost a little under 30 pounds (I hope to reach 30 by the end of the year) and feel so much better.
Not a bad list. Overall I would say I did pretty well. Stay tuned for a new list of goals for 2012!
Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
