Spiritual
- Begin attending Bible Study Fellowship so that I can do in-depth Bible study. I start next Wednesday and I am super excited.
- Establish Sunday as a Sabbath. We are a go, go, go kind of family and want to learn to rest and rest in the Lord. We are trying to set aside Sunday for worship, rest and enjoying the company of those we love.
Relationships
- Go out on a weekly date with Andy.
- Get to know our neighbors better by having people over.
- Have friends over for dinner at least monthly.
- Become a mom! We hope to have children in our home full time via foster care this year.
Work
- Begin to recycle and compost. I would love any advice on these topics.
- Start a (very small) garden. Again, advice welcome! I want to feed us more veggies while reducing our grocery bill.
- Blog weekly. What would you like to read about?
Health
- Exercise 4 times weekly. We joined the YMCA last year and this became a normal part of our lives. I want to keep it up and try out some group fitness classes. Of course, the goal of this is to be healthy and lose weight. Last year I saw very little weight loss despite my faithfulness to exercise, but I am sticking to it for overall health.
- Establish a healthy nutrition plan for our family. You know that we will try to eat natural, mostly organic food. We tried a Paleo diet challenge in 2011 and liked it. I am not ready to implement a fully Paleo lifestyle, but I want to incorporate a lot of Paleo principles into our diet.
- Compete in a mini-triatholon like the Tri-Deltathon at UT that consists of a 400m swim, 6 mile bike, 3 mile run.
- Compete in at least two races of 5K or more. I am running the Knoxville Marathon 5K, does anyone want to join me?
Personal Growth/Education
- Read at least one book monthly. A few already on my list are The Connected Child by Karyn Purvis, Kisses from Katie by Katie Davis, and Grace Based Parenting by Tim Kimmel.
What are your goals or resolutions for 2012?
