So lets take a look....
1) Travel to at least one new domestic city and one new international city.
Well i got this done! In February i went with a friend to New Orleans for the first time and then during the summer with my boyfriend. In May and June I went to Ft, Lauderdale, Miami, Key West, Nassau, and Cococay. I also had a chance in August to go to a few small towns in Texas I had never been to!
2)Be more organized
I tell you what... Moving will get you organized if you let it. I took the new stage in my life and moving to start a clean slate and only take the things i REALLY needed. its nice not having all that extra this and that.
3)Achieve my fitness goal of 15-20% Body fat
Well.... this is a big FAIL, which is ok. I had to reassess what was important to me and why i was doing the things i was doing. Do i want to be healthy? YES! Do i want to be fit? YES! However, with the change in my life with a new person in it, moving, studying for a license exam and a million other things, the gym was not my number one priority. At this point i still make an effort to take care of myself but do i need to be bikini model fit to be happy? NO! I think i got to a point where fitness and dieting were becoming a little overboard for me. I loved the way i looked, i was happy with myself, but now that i'm at a different place. I'd rather enjoy my time after work with my boyfriend in our new apartment and creating memories with him then spending 2-3 hours at the gym every night. We like to run or go for walks together or workout at our apartment, but the vanity and obsession with being super duper skinny is not practical or worth it. Being healthy and happy is more important.
4) Have no credit card debt
Well this is almost doneski. we bought all new things for our place and with the help of selling our old things we just about paid for it all but had just a little bit that will be paid off by the end of the year.
5)Continue to grow my savings
Done :)
6) Visit friends i don't see often.
Well i got to go to Dallas in May for the Warrior Dash and I got to see Toneisha, Braden, Brandon and Kristin up there and Morgan came up as well. Good times! I would like to make a trip to San Antonio and possibly Florida next year!
7) Complete the warrior dash
8) try something/place totally new each month
If you read my blog you know that this has been done
9) Use coupons more often
I have been using coupons each week and have been on the mailing list of several coupon sites and deal sites which have been very helpful
10) Increase my mental recipes
Each week we try something new so this has been great. It helps that my boyfriend cooks alot so its not all up to me
11) Not hold onto stuff i don't use
Well back to my organization comment. I sold everything and started new so you can say that if anything was done this definitely was!
12) Learn how to use a sewing machine
havent even touched this one yet....
13)Become more involved with philantrophy
I did help in a feeding the homeless event with my stepmother and i donated my prom dresses to an organization that helps under privledges girls!
14) get my interior design license
Well i studied a ton and still waiting on my results.... cross your fingers!
15) begin to study for my personal training certification
This still intrigues me but I have so much on my plate that this isnt a priority anymore.
I think that 11/15 (assuming i passed the NCIDQ) isnt bad. Its 12/15 if you assume i pay the Credit Card off by the end of the year. I'm happy with that! :)
