Resolutions for 2010

January 8th, 2010 Posted in Misc., Reading Room

I never came and wrote out my complete resolutions, so to make sure I follow them this year I thought I would post:

  1. Get married (probably the most important).
  2. Back to better health and nutrition (green smoothies/juices, more of a vegetarian/pescatarian diet).
  3. Back to the gym… exercise at least 3 times a week (losing 20 pounds is ideal here since I have a wedding dress to squeeze into).
  4. Learn where my food comes from and eat more local/organic (join the CSA).
  5. Continue to drop the plastic and paper bags in the store and use my Baggu bags.
  6. Get to bed before midnight so I can get up earlier.
  7. Read one book a month (did well with this one last year).
  8. Make one new recipe from my cookbooks each week.
  9. Knit myself a sweater (have always wanted to and never have).

Of course the only resolution from last year I did well with was the reading. I far surpassed my goal of one book per month and read nearly 24 books! Take a look:

  1. Eat, Pray, Love / Elizabeth Gilbert
  2. His Dark Materials Omnibus / Philip Pullman
  3. Wicked / Gregory Maguire
  4. Son of a Witch / Gregory Maguire
  5. Angels & Demons / Dan Brown
  6. The Last Lecture / Randy Pausch
  7. Sex and the City / Candace Bushnell
  8. Twilight / Stephenie Meyer
  9. New Moon / Stephenie Meyer
  10. Eclipse / Stephenie Meyer
  11. Breaking Dawn / Stephenie Meyer
  12. Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog / John Gorgan
  13. Three Cups of Tea / Greg Mortenson
  14. The Secret Life of Bees / Sue Monk Kidd
  15. The Friday Night Knitting Club / Kate Jacobs
  16. Knit Two / Kate Jacobs
  17. Knit the Season / Kate Jacobs
  18. A Thousand Splendid Suns / Khaled Hosseini
  19. The Kite Runner / Khaled Hosseini
  20. Q&A / Vikas Swarup
  21. Dead Until Dawn (Sookie Stackhouse 1) / Charlaine Harris
  22. Living Dead in Dallas (Sookie Stackhouse 2) / Charlaine Harris
  23. Green Smoothies Diet / Robyn Openshaw (only half)
  24. Julie & Julia / Julie Powell (only half)

So now I have to work on my reading list for this year, and so far I have only come up with 11:

  1. Julie & Julia / Julie Powell (only half – finished right after the new year)
  2. My Sister’s Keeper / Jodi Picoult (already started)
  3. Green for Life / Victoria Boutenko
