Do you make them and if you do, whay are they this year?

I usually make them and then, like most of us, don't get it done!

So, here goes:

I'd like to run 1200 miles this year! I think I can pull it off. That's 100 per month....25 per week, with 4 weeks worth of mess ups and days off! I think I'll add a tcker to count them, starting January first!

I'd like to read the Bible...cover to cover! I've been trying for this one for about 7 years...hopefully this is the year!

I would also like to be more organized and disclipined in other areas of my life. I have a hard time keeping a schedule with school with my children, we all do better when we have a pretty strict schedule and follow it for things like school, chores, bedtimes and routines in general. Also, my house needs some organizing!

I am sure that my list looks similar to everyone elses.....What are yours?

    I would like to stick with an exercise routine, maybe workout twice a day for seven days a week.
    Start walking/jogging/running more (don't have a set goal yet on how many miles I would like to do)
    Read the Bible within a year (been trying for years to do this)

    @ mommynmotion - :) I love you're new year's resolutions. You know reading doesn't have to be in the old fashioned way where you sit and hold a book. if you're going to run all those miles next year, download a copy of the Bible to your ipod and listen to it while you're out on your run. I'm sure you'll have more than enough time to listen to the whole thing in the year. :) Blessings.

    Awesome idea from Evelyn about "listening" to the Bible!

    I know one resolution is to strength train twice per week through May. One upper body and one lower body strength training session per week.

    Still working on non-fitness resolutions...

    I decided one of my New Years Resolutions is to not accumulate so much JUNK. I'm going to begin immediately putting trinket toys or other "junk" gifts into a box for garage sales & putting things away immediately after I get home instead of putting them in the "pile" that piles up until I have time to tackle the whole thing.

    Any other New Years Resolutions? What do you guys do to keep yourselves on track to keep your resolutions?

    Mine are the same as all of yours except running part, I can't.

    I also would add, try to be less harsh to my children, I tend to snap at them without realizing that my words can be more hurtful than intended.

    @bstamps - I created a blog and then I can go back through out the year and review them and even edit them.

    I have decided not to make new year's resolutions, but rather set quarterly goals. So I'm just going to focus on Jan-March.

    I also want to read the bible cover to cover. I found a 90 day schedule so that's my plan.

    Read 3 books: Radical, Becoming the Woman of His Dreams and Shepharding a Child's Heart

    Be consistant with our homeschooling and only take off one week

    No sweets

    No wine until our anniversary which is 3/1

    Register for a Tough Mudder

    Lose my last 4 pounds

    Lastly I joined 52 Week Organized Home Challenge. I'll be working on one area a week to organized my home.

    Making small goals along the way.
    I want to run a half marathon this year. i have always done 10-12km runs but i dont want to try a half marathon until i know i will do it in a good time. i dont like to just finish a race, i want to do it well.
