Resolutions Revisted

So, as December fast approaches, I need to make sure I am working on my yearly goals. So here's an update:

Physical: Obviously ... I would like to return to my pre-pregnancy weight in 2011 (preferably sooner rather than later), but that sounds too easy so I would like to add a challenge to run a marathon. I'm not a runner. I actually hate running. But running a marathon has always been something I'd like to accomplish. I don't know why. That's pretty lofty for me. UPDATE: I have actually surpassed my pre-pregnancy weight. My favorite jeans from college are actually one of my favorites again. I am also signed up for a 5K in October (yes, that is a marathon to me).

Spiritual: Obviously ... I should be reading my Bible each day. But let's be honest, I don't. I'm going to work on that, but my goal is to read the Bible in its entirety. There are certain books I've never read ... so I want to have read every book of the Bible by the end of the year. UPDATE: Doing fairly well, I have started a Bible study on Revelation, but I need to do some of the lesser-known Old Testament books.

Emotional: This is probably harder for me than thinking about running a marathon, but my big "heart" goal is to really try to work on taking criticism. It's never been a strong suit, and I'd really like to work on that. This isn't really a measurable goal, but we'll try it. UPDATE: I would say accomplished. As previously posted, people tell me I look tired all the time, and it would have used to upset me. Now, I don't care. I am tired. I do look a mess. It's a phase, and hopefully it will pass soon.

Mental/Educational: I'd like to read more (whaaat?). I know - let me explain! I'd like to read 12 books (one a month) that ARE NOT Christian fiction. Some might be classics that I've never read/finished. Some might be memoirs from people. Basically anything but Karen Kingsbury or Francine Rivers. :) UPDATE: Not doing so hot here. I have read The Giver and Crazy Love - but so far, that's it (besides a ton of baby books).
