My New Year’s resolutions for 2010 were:

1. Be more social, both in real life, and through blogs. Check! I have made so many amazing friends this year through the blog and through school.  It’s wonderful to know so many amazing people!!

2. Run 2 half-marathons in 2010 Partial Fail. I ran 2 races last year, but due to mysterious ankle pain I wasn’t able to get to half-marathon distance.  I am incredibly proud of myself for finishing 2 5k races, and I really feel like I’ve caught the racing bug!

3.  Eat better. Check! I can confidently say that I have eaten the best this year than ever before.  I’ve cooked a lot more from scratch, and found some incredible recipes to try.

4. Travel. Check! Adam and I went to the Dominican Republic in March, and hit up Chicago for the Healthy Living Summit in August.

I feel pretty great about my goals for 2010, and I’m even more excited for 2011!  My resolutions are more like a ‘to-do’ list, but I think I can get them all done:

1. Engage with people more.  Piggy-backing on 2010’s goal of be more social, I want to further cement the relationships I formed or rekindled by commenting, tweeting, emailing and meeting face-to-face more often.
2. Make it a habit to wash my face.  This one seems simple, but I am not very good at doing it.  My skin is pretty temperamental, and I touch my face a lot.  I think that making it a habit to wash my face every night will help keep my skin clear and soft.
3. Take more pictures.  I want to learn more about our DSLR and how to get the best shots, so that I can capture our lives better.  I want to be able to look back in 50 years and not be sad because all of my pictures are blurry and mediocre
4. Run at least 2 races.  Maybe one 10k.
5. Travel.  We already have plans with family to travel at Christmas, and depending on the location of this year’s Healthy Living Summit, go there, or do a trip to somewhere fun for a graduation/anniversary/Adam’s birthday trip.
6. Cook more meals from scratch.  I have a bookcase full of cookbooks, so I’m thinking about doing a cookbook challenge like Tina did/is doing.
7. Do more diy/sewing projects.  We just bought a new console for our tv, and it may need refinishing.  I would also like to make curtains for my office, and a new duvet cover for our bed.

Certainly more goals/resolutions than last year, but I think they’re achievable and maintainable.

I’d love to hear about your goals for 2011.  Taking on a home improvement project? tackling a long-distance race? losing weight or getting into shape? Tell me all about it!
