- Go at least one month without any junk food. (I'm working on being healthier and I hope that this will help curb my appetite for those things)
- Run a triathlon (I'm also working on being more fit. I wanted to do this last year but didn't get to)
- Run a 5k in under 38 minutes (my 5k last year was run in 44 minutes... I was out of shape and had shin splints)
- Read the Book of Mormon in its entirety. (I suck at reading my scriptures but KNOW that I need to in order to become the better person I want to be)
- Keep up with the house work for one month (It seriously makes me sick to have a dirty house)*Edited: I will actively clean the house for an hour per day. Thanks for the idea Roxanne!
- Learn a new skill (Maybe knitting, or something else, I don't know yet what exactly I will learn)
- Drop 2 pant sizes (Who doesn't want to do that??)
- And finally again thanks to Roxanne I will also work on having a date night every week.

Thoughts for 2011
I never make New Years Resolutions. Ever. Because I don't like to set a goal and then not do it. The thought of falling through on something I said I'd do is just too much for me. But this year will be different. This year I have a few goals that I want to accomplish and I believe they are within reason and not too far fetched for me. So here you have it, my goals for the year 2011:

Those are great goals!
Here's mine:
1. Read the Standard Works all the way through. I am also working on being better about scriptures. I have read the Book of Mormon through several times, but I have never read through my whole quad. So, that's the plan for this year. I am using the schedule from www.readthescriptures.com. Have you heard of it? You can sign up for a reading schedule and they e-mail you the section you are to read for the day. You can read it online, or listen to it, and you can even customize if you want to read something in a specific amount of time. It's pretty cool, and I am on my computer every day so when I get the e-mail it reminds me to do what's important first.
2. Actively clean the house for at least an hour a day. I pick up and stuff, but honestly my house is always the last thing that gets attention. I'm not sure if you know, but I am the RS Pres in our ward, and it is a full time job! My house has really suffered since I got this calling, and I am trying to get control. I figure if I can schedule an hour a day where I am really focused on cleaning, not getting distracted, etc. then things will get better. I hope. :)
3. Project 52: Date Night. We are going to have a date night every week (mostly at home after the girls are in bed). I found the idea at www.simplymodernmom.com. She did it last year, but I just found her blog last month so I am jumping on it for this year!
I LOVE those goals Roxanne! I think I may amend my goals. I love the hour a day of actively cleaning. That's a better goal. And I love the date night thing. We need to be better at that ourselves. Thanks for sharing those websites. I will defiantly give them a look!
What a great list! I know you'll be able to reach every goal you have set out for! Can't wait to read your blog posts this upcoming year.
