New Year Goals

I'm going to make goals again this year:) I'm going to try to be more realistic this year, although I feel like my goals last year were realistic I'm going to try to make them more specific and have a way of gauging how I'm doing on completing my goals. SO here are the goals that I have for 2011 and the ways that I will show that I have completed them:)
1. Go to New York City (I will blog about it after it happens, hopefully in May)
2. Sew a dress for myself (I will take pictures and post them on the blog, also it needs to be good enough to wear to church)
3. Run a 5k (I will start the couch to 5k program and then run in a 5k in the spring or summer, I will take pictures and post them on the blog)
4. After saving for and traveling to New York, save at least $500 by the end of the year. (I can save a little every payday and at the end of the year I will let you know how much I have saved)
5. Pay a full tithe. (I will have to report on this after tithing settlement next year)
6. Read my scriptures everyday (I will post something that I have learned everyday in 2011)
7. Say my prayers both night and morning (There isn't really a way for me to track this)
8. Go to bed at a decent time on Saturday nights and do any cleaning/laundry that needs to be done on Saturday so that I can be better able to keep the Sabbath day holy. (this one will just have to be tracked on my own)
9. Quit spending money/eating out on Sundays except when on a vacation where that is not really possible. (again needs to be tracked by myself)
10. Exercise at least 3 days a week (this will hopefully be easy since I want to be able to run a 5k and I will be following the couch to 5k program)
My plan is that each time that I complete one of my goals I will reward myself with something. Because I want to be healthier I will not be rewarding myself with anything that includes food. So I think that my rewards will be either a new book, a pedicure, maybe a new pair of shoes or pants or a cute new top and if I complete all of my goals I will buy myself a new iPod at the end of the year. Yay! Wish me luck:)
