    Just thought I would see what everyone's resolutions are... I have a few.. 1- to become more organized-- at work, at home and with wedding planning. 2- get into a workout routine (but this year I PROMISE to really do it!!) Tongue out

    Has anyone else thought about New Year's Resolutions??

    Mine:

    1) Increase my running speed and stick to a stringent training schedule for my spring half marathon.

    2) Run more outdoor races in general

    3) Get better about calling friends/family (I loathe the phone)

    I also wanted to add to attempt to write more notecards to friends.  I find this is a lost art form and man oh man, when I see beautiful stationary, I get all giddy inside.

    @CaptainsGirl: Use the training program Couch to 5K.  (Just google it)  9 months is MORE than enough time to train for a 5K...I've trained for a half marathon in less than that ;o)

    @hotchild, thanks! I have heard of the couch to 5k program, and I definitely think that's the approach i'll take. I want to start early so I surely won't stop and walk at ALL. I seriously HATE running, but I'm determined to conquer this!

    A couple of mine are:

    1) Comfortably run at least 5 miles 3-4 times a week

    2) Spend more time talking to friends as opposed to just texting or IM-ing or FB-ing

    3) Spend more time with my mother

    omg too many things going on in 2010....

    1) Lose the post-wedding weight and find a happy medium with food and working out.

    2) A's in all my classes...

    3) Find a balance in life--new career, doing good in classes, whatever it may be. Moving foward somehow, if that makes sense.

    4) We want hardwood floors this year, also =D. lol...

    GalacticPony's New Year's Resolutions!

    1) Lose 10 lbs (gosh, I feel so guilty writing this on down. Its so cliché haha)

    2) Gain more self-confidence and be kinder to myself (this is a big one. I am too harsh and frequent in my self-criticism, as my bf and friends point out constantly, so I need to work on loving myself more. Oprah would be proud)

    3) Find a PAYING job I truly am passionate about

    4) Learn how to bake (breads, cakes etc. I'm definitely more of a cook, and anything involving yeast and flour is F O R E I G N to me, by golly)

    5) Learn Italian (I've always wanted to learn mwahaha)

    Yep! Good luck to you guys on your own resolutions!

    Get a new job...I really can't stand mine.

    And, get in better shape. I'd like to be able to run a 5k too.Start doing Yoga again (for some reason this year

    I let something I love so much just slip away).

    Really, the most important one is being less hard on myself. And feeling thankful. I really am very lucky.

    Happy New Year Everyone!

    3. Take better care of myself by exercising on a regular schedule (yet to be worked out).

    This isn't really a resolution, but gosh darnit I better get into grad school!

    Here are mine!

    1. Start taking martial arts classes in January (One of my biggest dreams in life is to become a black belt- isn't that weird?!)

    2. Continue eating well- just because the wedding is over doesn't mean I can start eating like crap again ;-)

    3. Save money. I'm a spender, so this one is tough.

    My resolution is to turn FH's job situation over to God.  (I had posted about this earlier, but the gist is we find out sometime between now and Mid-March whether FH gets to stay here or whether he will have to go somewhere else for the rest of his training, and there are MAJOR job issues with me moving)  I will also try to turn the rest of my life over to God- I did this with my love life for my 2007 new years resoluton, and met FH in late January.

    Our resolution as a couple is to get to bed earlier- we are going to try to get to bed earlier- more time to cuddle, have sex, and talk.

    Hotchild- Is this the Couch to 5K program you recommend? There are a few of them out there... 

    http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

    I want to work on increasing my distance and improving my time (right now I run about 2 miles but at a pretty slow pace). You girls have inspired me! :)

    GreekGirl- while I am not a runner, a friend did the couch potato to 5k and now runs marathons!  (he also lost a ton of weight)
