Another New Year's resolution update

I posted a post listing my 2009 resolutions and here is an update on how things are coming:

1) For Matt and I to travel somewhere via airplane. I am still working on this resolution again, but we have had conversations of where we plan to go and when. We both have individual trips planned (me to Cali and him to Laughlin, Nevada), but we are going to take one together, too.

2) To really get healthy. This one is still doing okay. For about 20 days I did my workout DVD, but I have slacked this past week. I did not work out last night either, but tonight I am continuiing to get in killer shape with the Deanda's at the baby boomer exercise class. It is fun and when you see a 60-year-old go around the lap faster than you...well, you try to kick things in gear. :-)

3) To not shop as often. I have a budget made and I know what bills are coming in. Once those bills are paid off then no more big purchases until spring when I need some lighter clothing. The best thing I have done is just avoid shopping. When I feel the urge to shop I take the dog on a walk or bug Matt. It makes life more fun and keeps Matt and Bows in line. :-)

4) To eat more meals at home. So this one has not done as well, because Matt has class 3 nights a week plus I have had lots of night meeting for work and then went out of town. However, we are eating chicken stir fry at home tonight and his mom is making lasagna tomorrow night. So we are going out....but it's not like we are buying.

5) To really clean out the house and basement and hold a garage sale in May. This one is going well. I have piles all set for what we are selling and what we are giving away. I hope we continue to clean the basement, but we really do not use it. I want to get the upstairs fixed up this summer and put the better TV up there for a fun guest/tv room.
