1. Run my second marathon - I am already signed up for the Bayshore Marathon in Traverse City set for Saturday, May 26, 2012. I am using the 18-week training schedule Novice II from Hal Higdon's book Marathon and found on his website www.halhigdon.com. Actually weekly training per the schedule begins the week of Jan 29th - but I will be building up mileage in preparation. Looking forward to conquering this distance once again!
2. Eat an apple a day - the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables will be helpful in training for my marathon - so what can be easier than setting a simple goal to at least eat one apple a day? That's my goal and hopefully it will help me focus on eating healthier all day!
3. Read one book per week - I'm going to try and keep track of each and every book I read just to see how many books I actually do read this year. I will also add the books of the Bible to this reading list - good for me and my spirit!
4. Give up pop for 2012 - I almost made it through all of 2011, but gave in after almost 7 months. I'm committed in 2012 - no pop!
5. Plan weekly meals - good for my wallet, waist, and time management. Looking forward to cooking with the kids and planning healthy meals!
6. Go see Dave Ramsey Live - signed up for May 5th in Grand Rapids. Although I've been applying his methods on our finances for years now, I've never seen him live and am looking forward to it! I hope to eventually help others become debt-free too! If you want me to sit down and help, let me know!
7. And, last, I am going to keep the kitchen clean every day! My goal is to have the counter cleaned off, dishes done, and everything cleaned up by the time I go to bed every night or first thing in the morning. One day at a time!
That's it for now - I'll be back with updates on my goals, as well as ideas for running, saving, budgeting, and eating all year!
