Get ready 2011

I am so stoked for 2011. I feel like it is a chance to start fresh and take on the world. My favorite number is 11... so I think that is a sign for good things to come this year. I'm really not a huge New Years resolution person, mainly because I always break them. Also I have the list of 25 Things to do before I turn 26 so I don't really need to add another list of things to complete. That would be overkill. This year, I just have a few goals that I want to maintain throughout the year.

Goal One: Stay connected with friends and family.
Over the years, I sadly have lost contact some of my friends. Life takes over and they get busy and I get busy and we just lost touch. After graduating from ECU, I moved back to Virginia while many of my friends stayed in NC or moved else where. I want to make it a goal this year to stay connected to friends and family. The majority of my friends live many miles away, which makes it difficult to stay in touch,but this year is going to be different... it is a priority. Also the friends that are here in Virginia, I want to soak up time with them before I move.

Goal Two: Enjoy good, healthy food again.
I have been a very bad non-meat eater this past year. I have slipped into old habits, which include lots of cheese and carbs, which leaves me feeling icky. Recently, I feel like I just don't love food... some nights I wish I could just get an IV of nutrients, so I wouldn't have to eat (not in an anorexic way, I just don't feel like anything). This year I want start cooking healthy food that I enjoy eating (with the occasional nachos), so I can start feeling fantastic again!

Goal Three: Love the life I'm living!
Sometimes I have the tendency to look at other peoples lives and get jealous or get sad about where I'm at in my life. I look at Facebook and see a lot of my friends getting married, having kids, some on their second kid... and it makes me a little down about where my life is. But no more... I am going to embrace where I am in my life and know that I am on the right path. This year, I am cutting the complaining and upping the positive outlook. I want to enjoy my life and live it to the fullest. Cheesy, kinda... but I feel this is going to be an awesome year.

So those are my goals for the coming year. I think they are better than resolutions... they are more things to keep in mind throughout the year and strive to maintain them. I think this will be an awesome year... Watch out 2011!
