1. I Will Be Present, Be Love, Be Positive and Be Grateful: I am still trying so hard to make this one part of my every day. I find it so easy to post to my gratitude log, ask my daughter what she's grateful for and generally keep this part of my every day when I am at home. I struggle so much to do this at work. I struggle to be present in the moment when I just want to be "anywhere but here". I struggle to be love and be accepting of people who really just make my life a living hell. Work is the place that seems to be killing this resolution and right now I am in a huge self-reflection pool of trying to figure out what's best for me.
2. I Will Commit To Getting Fit: I'm trying so hard! This week I slacked off on the Wii workout. Since my parents have been home I've found it harder to do. Having an audience there while I'm doing my yoga is weird but I know I need to make a better effort at making it happen. I bought another hula hoop so when the nice weather comes on we can take a friend and hit the park. It'll be so much more fun (and hopefully more frequent!) doing it that way.
3. I Will Consider What I'm Eating: Another struggle I've had since my parents got home. This week I had turkey twice (sandwiches), chicken twice (Pho and Mexican) and tuna fish. I also had shrimp, steak and chicken at The Melting Pot last night. The vegetarian gig will be going back in full effect tomorrow. I feel BETTER when I am not eating meat. I want to get myself to a place of no dairy (though I am already there for the most part). I am holding myself accountable to this one, above all others. Just because mom and dad are home and making their own food doesn't mean I can't retain control over what I need.
4. I Will Get Rid of Plastic Bottles: Going strong! I haven't taken a drink from a plastic bottle since January began. My Kleen Kanteen goes everywhere with me!
5. I Will Be Passion: I'm still rocking the Project 365 but need to read my digital camera book, start working on the DIY projects and really just get out there with my camera to do more than just take my one photograph per day. I'm starting up my That Girl Goes Local group and I've got women who are so excited to be part of it. I'm so inspired on the regular.
6. I Will Travel: Heidi and I about to book our New York trip for May. I've been looking at good hotel/hostel/vacation home rental options. I'm also planning to take a trip to San Diego in July. Wahoo travel!
7. I Will Be On My Own: Move out date is 6 months, 7 days. I've started looking at apartment rates in the Fremont/Ballard/Wallingford areas. But to be honest? I'm also considering the strong chance that we may MOVE. Perhaps it's just a pipe dream but right now I have such a strong urge to be down in San Diego, hooping on the beach and finding myself part of the amazing community that I know exists there. It compels me and pulls me and sings to my heart. We'll see. Right now I'm still focused so hard on making this place have the kind of community I can be proud of.
8. I Will Read More and Twiddle Less: As I said last time I've finished Food Rules and started on Fast Food Nation. I'm also reading The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb and find myself reading it more often because it's so convenient on my Kindle app. The paper book seems to be a little more difficult to commit to, which actually really annoys me more than I can say. I'm determined to finish another book this month. I am definitely not reading as much as I would like. I can feel that on most nights. Too much twiddling!
