Resoultions 2011 - Update

In my last update, it was just a few days into the new year and I was already making progress on achieving my resolutions.

In recap, the resolutions for 2011 are:


1. Lose weight and get healthy
2. Volunteer
3. Be more aggressive with money (savings, 401k, trim monthly budget. etc.)
4. House projects
5. Travel and have more experiences with Geo (just added this!)

So here is what I got...
1. Lose weight and get healthy
Update: Yep!  George and I have been eating Mama JC's food and, after just 19 days on the program, we are both down 8 pounds!  We haven't been crazy active but that is our next goal to getting the weight off faster.

2. Volunteer
Update: You are looking at  reading the blog of the newest couple to join the Pre-Cana Married Couples Team!  Oh yes, all 8 months of married life wisdom will be passed on from us to engaged couples that are looking to get married in the Catholic church. We loved Pre-Cana and are looking forward to experiencing that connection again.
3. Be more aggressive with money (savings, 401k, trim monthly budget. etc.)
Update: It's a process.  When you get paid every-other week, saving takes time.  But we have cut back here and there so we can afford Mama JC's food, travel and plan for house projects. 

4. House projects
Update: Hoping to put new flooring in the bathroom this weekend and maybe take some doors of the kitchen cabinets to do an exposed shelving look.
5. Travel and have more experiences with Geo
Update: Again, this takes some time but with our tax returns, we are hoping to book Paris and maybe get to NYC or DC for Geo's birthday in March.

Okay, going to eat my Triple Chocolate Cheesecake (yes, that's on the program!).
