Please support me in my quest to become a more well-rounded person with a fulfilling and enriched way of living. This years 2010 resolution is designed to pursue just that cause. Many New Years resolutions die out as soon as the christmas tree gets tossed into the trash heap. This year, I propose to take on a series of 12 30 day challenges, all with the intention of creating a richer, healthier existence for myself. While some goals seem less ambitious than others, these are the pursuits I am interested in completing within this coming year. The ultimate goal being that I carry these challenges into my everyday life throughout 2010 and beyond. Follow along as I blog about my quest. Lets see how far I make it!!!

Proposed Challenges:

JANUARY: Dedicate self to finding full time work (portfolio work and networking)
FEBRUARY: No Soda
MARCH: Exercise
APRIL: Start a new blog I've been thinking about thanks to Peter Ross
MAY: Floss
JUNE: Love Life
JULY: No TV
AUGUST: Meditate
SEPTEMBER: Eat within 100 Miles
OCTOBER: Money Management/debt repayment/savings
NOVEMBER: Read
DECEMBER: Sing

Happy March 1st!!!

So I finished no soda month with a bang!  I never even had a sip of it on accident!  As I said before I will try to continue this practice for the rest of the year.  I will keep you updated!
And Forward MARCH!!!
I started exercise month (one day early) with a bang!  Basically I rolled around in four feet of fresh powder at a high altitude for 4 hours or so.  Just kidding...I was snowboarding.  It was terrible.  I am not used to riding in powder, and I was pretty exhausted by the end of the day.  I would say that counts towards a day of exercise.
Here are the parameters of this months challenge:  work out at minimum for 30 minutes, 3 times per week.  I want to do more, and I will try, but I cannot commit to more than that right now.  I need to be realistic about this month if I want to be successful.  Usually when embarking on a work-out regimen I would do 30 minutes of cardio 3 days a week with an ab workout, then free weights 3 days a week, resting on Sunday.  That is for when I am feeling hard-core.  I am not feeling hard-core.  I recently finished three years of Grad school  where my muscles had a chance to completely atrophy.  I had maybe three days of cardio within those three years.  I'm feeling really weak... so I'm just leaning into this, and possibly, after this month, and as I get closer to my wedding date, I will become more hard core.
Anyway, this month I will be trying out all different kinds of exercise, to keep it interesting.  Feel free to send suggestions!  (I may even post videos this month!) There is an indoor pool right down the street I can go to, and I want to try Bikram Yoga, which I have never done, and maybe even Zumba classes among other things.  I am not interested in losing weight, just feeling healthier and stronger.
Please join me!
