Resolution Updates :)

Well, 2014 continues to be a fantastic year for me!
Lots of fun, new, and exciting things in the near future...but I am waiting for the grand reveal in a week or two!!!

*FITNESS*
-Compete in the Jax Tri Series and make PRs: I've been doing great keeping up with my training plans! Definitely have accomplished a lot since the start of this year :)
-Do the splits by the end of the year: I haven't been doing my stretches as much as I should be...it's so hard to get motivated for this one! Stretching is just so annoying to me, but I'm trying to change my outlook on it


*FINANCES*
-52 Week Savings Challenge: doing great! I'm up to week 6 right now, proud that I'm keeping up with it so far! It's going to get harder the further into the year we go, but I think I can do it :)
-Start on Total Money Makeover: Mom and Dad have helped me out SO much again! I've completed Baby Step #1 and saved up $1000 that is untouchable and for use in extreme emergencies only. Now I'm onto Baby Step #2 and working on my Debt Snowball!

*BUDDY*
-Work on new behaviors! We've been trying to work on "Hide" but he's not getting it too well yet haha he just get's too excited and can't sit still when there are treats involved! I think we're going to try to teach him "Dance" this month :)
-Weather permitting, take him on more adventures! Walks, hiking, the beach, etc.  Well, the day that I was planning a Buddy-beach day, I ended up having an upset stomach and the rest of the week the weather was awful :( But I'll be sure to take him sometime this month!

*COGSCILAB PAPER*
-Finish by the end of the year! This one has been modified a bit...I'm trying to finish a 5 page proposal paper to submit to the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) Conference...the deadline is March 3rd and I have 2 pages done, so I'm definitely going to make sure I keep up on that!

*HEALTH*
-Floss at least 4x/week: meh, doing my best...I just REALLY hate flossing lol
-Meditate/read/relax every day instead of being lazy in front of the TV: umm...yeah it's really hard on this schedule to not want to be lazy when I have the chance lol

*PERSONAL*
-Thank you's and Birthday Cards...be better about them! So far, so good!
-Study for and take the GRE: CogSciLab paper is taking priority over this one for now, so after March 3rd I'll be on this!
-Social media purge! Haven't taken the time to do this one yet...
-Just take some time to go out and date every now and again :) This one has been good! Dating is definitely not a priority for me right now, but it's been fun to meet some new people! It's nice not having to stress about a relationship or commitment with everything going on this year already haha
-Read 12 new books this year: I'm almost done reading Sergeant Rex, then I need to finish reading "Girls in White Dresses" that Angie let me borrow!
-Do 6 fun craft projects this year: This one is also going to be put on hold until I finish packing and moving
-Treat myself to something I enjoy every month (ballet, kick boxing, violin lesson, spa day!): I think my trips to Orlando count for this one lol
-And a few other that I'm not ready to have on here yet ;) Maybe soon though! Be patient! :) The grand reveal will be soon and I can't wait to share my exciting news with everybody!!!
