2010, Day 1

With 2009 now officially behind us, its time for some self-evaluation and overall improvements for the new year. I suppose given the forum, numero uno should be to keep up with the blog! Well, it is January and I haven't posted since August....yes, I think I can certainly improve on that consistency!

Numero dos: in short, dress better. I've decided that if I want to be treated as a professional and to be respected and promoted as such, then I need to make sure that I always dress as such. It's so easy to dress a little too comfortable, too often. So, I am making a very conscious effort to buy and wear clothes with this in mind. Sloppy clothes and casual shoes aren't going to get me anywhere, so they are a thing of the past!

Numero tres: continue to exercise on a regular basis and work to achieve and maintain my goal weight of $#* (I can't reveal all my secrets!). Well, there is my quintessential "lose weight" new year's resolution. The good thing is I'm not starting from scratch on this one. Greg & I have done pretty well at going to the gym 3 times a week. Hopefully we can maintain that, but I also need to go on my own and do a hard workout every time.

Those are the big three, but a few other things are in the back of mind as well. I know it's just because of my love for Project Runway, but I want to learn how to sew. Will I be making my own clothes or quilting anytime soon, no, but I want to know the basics. I'm certain this will be on the list every year for the rest of my life, but I am going to try to shop less and pay off the credit cards. I have a serious addiction to sale shopping which I know the drop of a ball in Times Square is no match for. Nevertheless, I'll try to make an improvement. Maybe I should throw away all my store coupons, I'm beginning to think they cost me much more than they actually $ave....
