1) get back in shape (I had to give up my pilates & zumba classes in light of recent family deaths/surgeries and I gained back the inches I lost. I start back on Monday with three pilates classes per week, a weight workout class for women, yoga, & zumba)

2) declutter my house--over the next three-four months I hope to go room to room, closet to closet and get rid of unnecessary items and stuff that hasnt been used/worn in a year or more.

3) convince the hubby to declutter the garage

4) convince hubby it's a good idea to have a baby. I think I'll have better luck with the garage but I'm going to try anyway! :)

1) I've lost 20 pounds since April and dropped 3.5 sizes in clothes. Hopefully I'll have accomplished my "size" goal by the end of 2011.

2)After the holidays were over we went room to room, closet to closet, cabinets, drawers, etc. and got rid of a boat load of stuff. Our rule was if it hadnt been used in 2 years, toss it. I encourage all gift givers to stick to gift cards and no knicknacks as they will likely end up at Goodwill or the next garage sale.

3)Accomplished this last month and got rid of two dumpster loads of stuff and several trash cans.

4) Still working on this one. Almost had him convinced but then I had an unexpected diagnosis & surgery. I'm waiting for medical clearance.

Forgot I posted in here.

Looks like both of the things I really wanted are happening (or have already happened.)

Wanted an assistantship or scholarship for school. Got it. Including one with an urban school district that I thought was a real longshot.

Looks like my 4.0 will happen as well.

Bonus: I got a sweet new job tutoring in special ed (and another sweet fun side gig planning events.)

This year was kind of awesome.

As expected, I did not quit biting my nails, lol

I can update mine.

1) I've dropped down to a size 4. I was size 12 when I started my weight loss journey in April. My goal size is 2. If i take things up a notch I just might reach that one. My thighs are why I'm not able to fit in size 2 pants/jeans. My waist is already there.

2) done

3) done

4) Still working on.

1) Passing the CISSP exam
2) Finding a job in IT security

I've been working on #2 with no results so far but I'm pretty confident that if I can achieve #1, then #2 will follow quickly. The biggest obstacle right now is finding $600 to pay for the CISSP exam .. within the next 3 weeks <sigh>. Otherwise, I have to wait until May to take it and I'll be in the middle of a class then, which would royally stink.

Um, Yay me!!! I took the exam, got the security job, then found out I passed the exam :) Yay me!!!! I did wait until May to take it and I took an extra term off of school that I didn't plan on but it all worked out!

i finished something i've been working on for a year.
