So this is the New Year

Someone told me that when you set a goal you should tell everyone about it. I think it's because the guilt and embarrassment of not reaching your goal will help you stay motivated.
So here are a few of my goals for 2010:
1. Spend time every day reading the Bible. I want to have it all read by August. If any of you have a good Bible-reading schedule you'd like to pass along to me, I'd be most grateful. Does anyone from LETU have the one from Biblical Foundations?
2. Find a body of believers. This one will be a challenge for me because Reese and I are split between Fort Worth and Austin. I'm not good at branching out on my own, but I guess I will have to work on that too.
3. Start a hobby. I think I have settled on learning to cross-stitch. At first I didn't want something time-consuming and mindless, but I guess that's kind of the point of a hobby. Plus it's probably going to be more of a challenge than I first thought.
4. Eat better > specifically, no more carbonated drinks and limit my eating out to once a week. Honestly, I think limiting my eating out will be the most difficult of my goals this year.
5. Exercise 3X a week, and walk during lunch on the weekdays. Sounds simple enough, right?
6. Read one challenging book per month. As always, I welcome book recommendations!
7. Drink 2 liters of water daily. This is going to be another challenge. I think running will make this one easier though.
8. Save money. This is mostly a discipline issue. I need to learn that just because I want something and can afford it doesn't mean I'm entitled to that thing.

So now I feel kind of like "in your face! What are YOU doing for your New Year's Resolution??" but don't take it that way. Just wanted to share.
