101 Things in 365 Days

I've been thinking and a year or so ago I started a list of 101 things to accomplish in 1001 days. I think that this time I will be a little more specific (and measureable) and decrease the time to accomplish the goals... figuring out when 1001 days from the start date was kinda hard and confusing!!

Resolutions or No Resolutions... in 2013

So everyone is talking about what resolutions they are or are not going to make for the new year on facebook, which got me to thinking about my personal resolutions... I haven't really made resolutions in several years, I am too goal oriented and I started to fell a little like a failure when I didn't keep my resolutions, so... I started to make goals for myself instead...

So here goes... my goals for 2013 include:
- I want to be healthier in 2013- I have already cut down my soda consumption to 12-16 oz a day instead of multiple cans a day... but I want to eat dinner earlier and have more fruits and vegetables in my diet.

- Improve our finances and our credit... now that Ian's business is taking off, I'd like to be able to put $$ in our savings account for future use, not to help us make it through the month... pay off some of the little bills that we have and pay down the bigger ones...

- Increase the size of our family from 2 humans and 2 canines to 3 humans and 2 canines...

I will be starting my 101 Things in 1001 days here soon... although I think I am going to modify it to 101 Things in 365...

Thoughts?
