A New Year and Some New Resolutions

1. Quit Smoking
2. Lose 75 pounds
3. Work out 30 minutes 5 times a week
4. Get 1,500,000 steps
5. Get 5,000 flights of steps climbed

Now let's go in depth.

1. Should be easy. I quit once. I'm making a goal. If I don't smoke all year then I get to spend $2,500 on a new gift for myself at the end of the year. That's what I spent this year alone on smoking.

2. Losing 75 pounds would be a pound and a half a week. That's totally do able. Also it's considered a "safe" amount to lose.

3. This shouldn't be hard. I need to find me time and stop putting everyone else first.

4. I love my fit bit and it logs steps and this amount would be 4,166 steps a day. Likely I'll go over this since I strive for 5,000 or more a day.

5. This averages a little over 13 flights of steps a day. Again I'll be tracking with my fit bit.

What are your resolutions?



Happy New Years!!!

2011 a review in pictures... maybe some words too!

January 2011:
My Grandmother passed away from her third round with breast cancer that quickly turned into sarcoma and spread to her brain. My heart hurts and I miss her so much!

Shortly there after (the next day) my little sister had to put her dog down because she had cancer.

Then a week later we dumped my Grandmother's ashes over a bridge in DC (that was her wish.) Stupidly we did the wrong bridge. :( Sorry Grandma.

Still in January we had a huge snow storm that shut the city down, after 6 hours in the car I never got out of DC. I was 5 miles from the office so I turned around and got a hotel room.

February:

We went on a work field trip to different sites. (I work in the affordable housing industry at a law firm)
