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

no T.V. is virtually impossible!!!!

Especially since at the end of my days lately--I need something that requires no thinking.  That means no reading.  Even magazines are beyond me.
So my wedding is in 12 days and I am very stressed out.  I have been practicing yoga for the past few days and trying to be above it all--but as we get closer I am starting to lose it.
At any rate--I will not be posting from now until after the honeymoon.  And I will make another attempt on the no T.V.  front.
Wish me luck with the wedding and I will back on track next month!!!

I have cheated every night this month.

Although I am watching less TV--I'm spending way more time on the internet.  I started reading one of the books I bought and it is GREAT!  I stayed up way too late reading last night.  And I am spending the rest of my free time worrying and fretting about my upcoming wedding plans.
SO, should I keep trying not to watch TV--or move around the month plans again and try next month???
I'll think about it a little more, while I finish watching this show.....

no tv month sucks....

thats all I have to say.

Well, no it isn't .  I went to Borders today and bought two books and a magazine.  Lets see how far that gets me....and this weekend is difficult because Carl isn't here to distract me with his cute little eyeballs....what else do I stare into aside from a 43" television!!???

woops!

This month has already started!  I can't believe this summer is already going so fast! So, Love month was full of love--but the exercises proved to be very difficult.  We are still working our way through them, and still very much in love while doing so!
July is supposed to be no TV month!  Yikes, I forgot and have already watched 2 days of television!!!
Okay--so here are the rules:
I am not allowed to sit down and watch TV.
However, the television is in our common area in our home, and as you all may or may not know, I live with 3 other people!  So avoiding TV is going to be difficult and possibly lonely!  So while I will not willingly sit down and watch television, I will have to be able to be in the same room with a working television throughout the month.
SOOOOO, wish me luck!!!!
