And so it begins

Happy New Year !!!!



So it has been exactly one week since my last post and declaration of new years resolutions. So in addition to updating what has gone on during the past week I will also include updates on my progress for each resolution.

First off I would like to address the debate that has been on everybody's lips....the question of decade or not decade? Has the year 2010 marked the last year of the decade or is it the first year of a new decade? I have heard reasonable arguments for both sides however I tend to side with the argument that 2010 is the first year of the new decade. The reason for this is that when you think of the 90's, 1990 was the first year of the "90's decade" same with 1980 and so on. Still the question remains....anyone else want to weigh in?

This past week has been a much needed break from work however just when I started to relax and wind down what hits....a sinus infection. Just days before new years eve my nose decided to wage war. It was a tough and stuffy war however after lots of afrin, antibiotics, and 1 or 2 chick flicks I am now on the mend. The only complaint I have is why didn't this hit at least during a work week, when I could put my sick days to good use? Anyways amongst the sniffles and coughing, Adam and I had the pleasure of going to the Rose Bowl where Ohio State kicked some major butt!!! I think one of the highlights for me was the Ohio State cheer where one person yells " O -H" and someone replies with an " I-O" :) So simple yet so satisfying. Aside from that we wrapped up my winter break with a trip to Disneyland today where we hit up a couple of our favorites...some tower or terror, the tilty ferris wheel and of course the napa rose winery. Tomorrow is back to the grind however thanks to good planning this will only be a 4 day week, we leave for Vegas on Thursday night, woot! And now for the resolution update.....

1) Write a blog entry once a week- meeting expectations however in order to go above and beyond I might try to bump this up to perhaps 2 times a week....any topic suggestions other then the obviosu updates?
2) Lose 10 lbs- well I dont think I've lost anything yet however I did somewhat resist some temptations today.....minimal cheating at Disneyland and only a handful of Adam's In-N-Out french fries.....tomorrow I begin my courtship with the gym again....I'll let you know if the treadmill buys my dinner
3) Run a half marathon......ran 2 miles on New Years eve....still sore.... :/ (looking for a good race to do in March...anyone want to joing me??)
4) Actually print and do something with all the pictures that I take.... took a lot of pictures over the holiday...need more ink for my photo printer tho
5) Live a more healthy life....excercise.....eat less In N Out.......etc etc... see number 2 but I'm also reading Dr.Oz's "you on a diet"....more to come on that
6) Clean my apartment and keep it organized ( I dedicate this resolution to Ms.Disney and Adam who patiently understand my messy ways ;)- bathroom and kitchen clean, now onto the living room and bedroom ...the true beast of this mess ugh
7) Exlpore LA more..I feel like I have only tapped the surface of all the fun things it has to offer....(dont get me wrong I love you Drew Carrey) this is a work in progress however here are some ideas now I have to assign dates etc:
- The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brian
- Universal Studios
- San Diego Zoo part 2 (we went 2 weeks ago but I def need to go back)
- Wine Tasting in San Diego
-Rent bikes and ride along the beach/pier (Long Beach)
8) Watch less TV and read more.....(this resolution is the one I'm most likely to break but I"m ok with that)-hmm yea about that...well lets just say I'm writing this as I watch the new episode of Brothers and Sisters......

Alright thats it for now ....more to come :)
