A New Year. A New Blog. (January 2008)

I'm starting this year with a lot of goals and trying to build a more positive outlook on life as a whole. To do this, I plan to use this blog as a chronicle of what I want to do, what I have done and what I could do better so that I may track my progress. I have, until now, been blogging here.

So, without further adieu, I present to you some lists to start out the year.

My New Year's Resolutions

1. Develop healthier eating habits. Consume foods that have gone through as little processing as possible to keep harmful chemicals out of my body.
2. Cook at home (eating out can be done but has to be paid for out of my weekly cash allowance).
3. Declutter and clean the house. We have over seven years worth of clutter and trash, the majority of which must go.
4. Exercise daily for at least 30 minutes a day.
5. Stop drinking soda.

January Goals and Progress Thus Far

1. Get back on FlyLady.
• Signed up for the mailing list on Sunday, January 6.
• Have done some work on my Control Journal.
  
2. Cook at home or eat out (from weekly cash budget only) the entire month. Reward for this will be a trip to the NC Zoo in early February.
• This goal started Saturday, January 5.
• Began cooking on the weekends for the week ahead. This includes making our own lunches, snacks and desserts and making some parts of weekly dinners that take more time than I have on a weeknight.
• Back to planning two-week menus and shopping for groceries after every payday.
