20 + 10 Challenge

My friend Ashley made a GREAT connection on her blog-20+10=30. And then it dawned on me:

  • I’m turning 30 this year
  • I actually REALLY want to lose 30 pounds this year
  • AND I realized that I had a TON more goals after my 10 in 2010 post. 

It’s the year of 30!

Since goals motivate me, I’m going to up my 10 in 2010 to 30 goals.  I’ve created a new 20 + 10 page and I’ll be checking in once a week with my goals.  I don’t have to be perfect but I really do want to achieve these goals.

Here’s the 20!

1. Stop putting myself down.  Treat me like I would want others to treat Lucy.

2. Eat something green every day.

3. Eat 2 servings of fruit every day.

4. Completely cut out dairy except yogurt.

5. Get back on my bike.

6. Do something only for me 1 hour each week.

7. Do something with Shaun that doesn’t include me sitting on the computer and him on the XBox or us watching TV for 1 hour each week.

8. Dress nicely, including putting on make-up, at least 3 times a week.

9. Clean out Lucy’s drawers.

10. Clean out and organize the filing cabinet.

11. Complete Lucy’s birth book.

12. Become a faster walker. If you can speed train for running, you can sure as hell do it for walking.

13. Send out thank you notes in a more timely fashion and to everyone that deserves one.

14. Lose 30 pounds or fit comfortably into my size 4-6 clothing.

15. Save my personal money for a new wardrobe.

16. Be on top of my budget and update Quicken every 2 weeks.

17. Severely limit my computer and phone time when I’m with Lucy.  On weekdays, I should never use them when she’s awake and on weekends, I should use them sparingly when she’s awake.

18. Get the bird out 4 times a week.

19. To appease my husband, never let the gas tank get below 1/2 a tank.

20. Improve on my photography.

For reference, here are the 10 from my 10 in 2010 post:

1. Take time out every day to simply enjoy my daughter.

2. Try not to look too far forward or lament the past.  Enjoy NOW.

3. Drink more water-at least 70 ounces per day.

4. Use my juicer A LOT.

5. Go to the gym more often than not.

6. Eat healthfully-don’t put anything in my mouth that I wouldn’t feed Lucy.

7. Save money.

8. Run to the top of Waterdog Lake Road, while pushing Lucy, without stopping and back.

9. Post at least 365 times in 2010.  I can post 3 times a day or skip a day but I want my average to be 1 post per day.

10. Fold my laundry when it comes out of the dryer.

Anyone else want to join the challenge?  30 things to work on and improve in 2010?  Come on, you know you want to!
