Resolution Updates

Here are my February – 2010 new year’s resolution updates. My apologies for not posting my mid- month resolution status.  I have been watching the Winter Olympics since the Opening Ceremony on February 12, 2010.

So let’s get right to the updates because these monthly reports are helping me to keep accountable, focused and on-track for reaching my New Year’s resolutions.

1. Positive Attitude – Well we had another good snow fall and it stayed on the ground for about 3 days.  We have had record cold temperatures as most of the country has experienced this winter.

2. Manage my time better - I am progressing slowly with this jigsaw puzzle called social networking and internet marketing and I’m making progress daily.  It is quite a challenge challenging to balance this thing called life and work.

3. Like the movie – Pay it Forward - I helped a friend out by house and cat sitting when they went away for Super Bowl Weekend to celebrate it with other friends.  The cat was well behaved and we both enjoyed the peace and quiet.  The dogs also enjoyed their road trip.

4. For the little successes – I’m continuing with changing my diet and practice yoga daily.  I have lost a total of 7 pounds this year.  This has encouraged me to continue with making better and healthier food choices.  

5. Laugh more – I was able to laugh more this month by watching the Wanda Sykes in I’ma Be Me movie.  It was so funny and she is a good comic.

6. Be aware of the changes you make each day, keep moving forward. I’m reporting and sharing my diet and exercise progress with a good friend of mine and maintaining my personal journal.

7. Get out of my comfort zone. As I get further into this Internet marketing it is helping me expand my self in areas that I have not in the past. coming up with ideas to blog about is quite a challenge at times, as you may have noticed.  Leave me a comment with any suggestions you may have.

8. Be realistic about your resolutions – I still believe that I have made very real and reachable goals while also be prepared for the unexpected – like more snow and freezing temperatures.

9. Be invested 100% in yourself – I am committed in 2010.  I will dedicate myself and stay focused and do what I need to do to get back into shape in my body, mind and soul. Even to the point of resisting Brownies, I did not eat any only smelled them when they were cooking.  That is will power.

10. Lose weight at a steady and healthy rate until I reach my goal weight. In January and February so far a total of ?? 4 pounds and feel it is a very good start for me.

I practiced meditation and yoga for 38 of the 54 days or 68% of the days  in January & February.  An increase of 13% since lst month.

I continue to keep a health journal to track my food and exercise progress.  Writing it down makes yo much more accountable and on track to meeting your goals.
