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

According to Wikipedia:  
Plyometrics is a type of exercise training designed to produce fast, powerful movements, and improve the functions of the nervous system, generally for the purpose of improving performance in sports. Plyometric movements, in which a muscle is loaded and then contracted in rapid sequence, use the strength, elasticity and innervation of muscle and surrounding tissues to jump higher, run faster, throw farther, or hit harder, depending on the desired training goal. Plyometrics is used to increase the speed or force of muscular contractions, providing explosiveness for a variety of sport-specific activities.




OR Plyometrics was something designed to make me suicidal.  My roommate slash soon-to-be-brother-in-law joined me halfway through, and stopped after about 15 minutes because the video was "insane".  And he is the only one in the apartment that works out on a fairly regular basis.  My legs are killing me.  I hope I make it through all 90 days.


I can't wait to start flossing.
