Resolutions Update

OK, so my last post (a while ago... ) was about my 8 New Years Resolutions that I made for myself and I hoped I could keep up. I've heard a few requests for both a new blog as well as an update on these... So, here ya go- all in one!


1. By May 2009, be credit card debt free. So, when I made this resolution, I dont think I knew how much I was in and this was also assuming my tax return would be about two or three times as much as it is. At least, I now have a plan for myself, a realistic one at that, to get out of credit card debt. By May, I can't make it. But, by the late part of the year, I should be good.
2. Improve my credit score. Self-explanatory from #1. (We're on our way...)
3.Decrease my dosage of sodas. When I wrote this, I was drinking 1 a day/7 a week. Right now, I'm at about 2-3 a week. Go me! (And no, it did not include caffeine. I work too much to not need my coffee.)
4.I have a gym membership. Slowly but surely I am getting back into the swing of things. I'm going about once a week. But I'm trying!
5. By March 2009 I will be able to run a mile non-stop. Yeah, um... If there are 2 that dont quite make it, it will be this and number 1 (the timeline of it anyway.) I've ran once since I made this and it was this past week. It was hell.
6. I will learn how to put my emotions into check. If I may say so, this is the one I've done the best on. I'm learning a lot about myself and saving relationships because of it.
7. No more ridiculous insecurities... Again, I'm doing it. It's a learning process and I am on top of the learning curve. Of course, I may slip every now and then, but in my opinion I'm doing much better than 2 months ago.
8. Spend more time with the girls. Especially lately, I have been doing this, AND I'M LOVING IT!

So... there ya go. For the most part, I'm doing what I promised myself. Especially the important ones.

How are yours going?
