Resolutions: 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Ok so here are my resolutions from last year. I crossed out the ones that I completly failed at.

1) Wear everything in my closet. If I don't wear it, I donate it.
2) Wear at least one skirt or dress a week.
3) Loose 30lbs  After I tried keto .. well lets just call keto and me a crash diet experience
4) Do a LOTD or EOTD once a month
5) DON'T CUT MY HAIR IN 2012 - EPIC WIN! 
6) Give my blog a more consistent look - I felt I did a better job of this and I'm going to continue! 
Money:
7) Tithe (give an offering to my church)  and put money in my savings every paycheck.  I decided it didn't count if I put in it and then took it right back out.
8) Coupon and put my saving in my savings. Keep track and then use that for Christmas money! We'll see how it goes!  I did do much better on saving up for Christmas though!
Craft:
9) Finished all my unfinished projects. (sewing and knitting)
10) Finish my LA scrapbook. (I did a semester there in 2008.)  I just started using a new scrapbook app! Hopefully this will be done soon.
Other: 
11) Go see Rocky Horror in Costume at a Theater.
12) Finish unpacking (I moved in August 2011 and this is still an issue.)  I have a shelf of things to still be sorted

That would be 3/12. Not even HALF!!!

I'm planning to chop all this long hair off within a week! Yes there will be before and after photos. Here are some styles I'm thinking of. This one is my favorite and I'm going back to a shade of red!! 

New resolutions for this year:

1) Lets get Classy!
    - I donated a lot of my clothes. I'd love to have a more professional wardrobe. I have TOO many pairs of jeans (sizes 7-14, not joking). I need to fill up my wardrobe with some classically good pieces. 

2) Get fit.
   - I know this is everyone's resolution, but seriously I ate so much chocolate this Christmas. After my crash keto diet, well lets say I need to get on this. I bought the app Zombies, RUN! Looks fun. Just waiting to get the gym or for some snow to melt. Meanwhile, I've been playing a ton of Just Dance 4 (a gift from Andrew)

3) Continue with the consistent blog look, but be less consistent. 
  - I get really stressed when I don't have a block of blogs scheduled and then I just put off blogging until I can do a ton at once. Now that I have a new look to my blog, I want it to be a lot less formal. I'll TRY to post at least once a week, but who knows. You may get a week of photos and then a week of reviews. 

4) Work on that tithing. 
  - I found out that the church I attend will send you a list of your donations for tax purposes (if you write checks). :O This means at the end of the year I can see how well I did, even if I don't keep track

5) Finish that LA scrapbook!!!
  - 5 years later...

6) Knit something I can wear

7) Pay off a credit card
  - Last year was rough on me finically. I'm back on an even keel and it's time to eradicate my debt! 

8) One day a week w/o jeans. 
  - It shouldn't be too hard

9) Bring treats to work once a month
  - We have several bakers in our mists at work. I'd love to share my tasty talent. 

10) One savory and one sweet new recipe each month. 
  - Classics are classics but I have a pintrest board full of things to try! 


What are some of yours?
