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

stepping out

At work I am averaging about 8,000 steps per shift, and these were measured on days that weren't too busy.  When I have a normal day at home I averaged about 4,000 steps, so I would say I am hitting at least the 10,000 step mark on my working days, which is a good start.
I work the rest of this week, including the weekend, but I am on lunch shifts, which gives me a chance to add a little more to my "cardio"  (haha)  when I get home from work.
The book I normally turn to when working out is "The Body Sculpting Bible for Women"  and I usually would couple that with the cardio suggestions from Self magazine when they are promoting the "self Challenge"  (it gets me doing intervals to make treadmill running less boring)
So, tomorrow I will take a page from the body sculpting book and lift for my arms.  I'll let you know how that goes.  Then Friday is going to be abs.  There, I hope I follow through this time, I can still win this thing!!!
