One more night in Hollywood
Im getting kind of scared since I have one last true night before the New Years. I was sitting here at my desk drinking a can of liquid satan (as Skinny B calls it)...Mountian Dew and I started getting all sentimental thinking it will be one of my last. It's time to take control over my life. I tired of living for everyone else. I am tired of the situations I put myself in. I am tired of restrictions...even morally. I think 2009 is going to be so incredibly great that I can hardly wait for New Year' s Day. I am ready to succeed.
OH! and I just googled my name and guess what finally oh yes finally it doesnt come up with DID YOU MEAN: Rachel Resnik? YES! I have succeeded.

Trying to get a head start
I was thinking yesterday that it might be a good thing to start implementing some of my resolutions into my routine now. I was a little motivated and jumped on the ole exercise bike last night for peddled for an hour while watching Big Momma 2 (compliments of my father who assured me it was funny :/). I cant say I'll ever watch that movie again, but...it was worth it to keep my mind off of my actually doing some sort of exercising.
With the good intention of becoming a LOveg I went to Food Lion searching out a tasty meal in the organic/natural food section. I picked up some brown rice noodle thingies and some organic cheese, hoping to make some mac and chz. Can I say that was absolutely the nastiest thing I have ever made?! Dad came out of his little room last night to ask me how it turned out and I told him how horrible it was, and of course he had to try it. Poor dad, he kinda grimaced as the noodle and chz combo went in his mouth, but he did a good job of not throwing up. He told me what I need was some spices. So dad got out the garlic powder (which did make it tolerable) and some pork seasoning( this stuff called Butt Rub) and threw it in there. Then he brought out some breakfast sausages and ask me if I wanted them in there. I said sure. Well, I forgot about my LOVeg pledge, so pretty much I cant eat my creation. I must admit that I did eat a small piece of the sausage but it wasn't very good. It doesn't matter anyways cause I had a ham sandwich for lunch yesterday (before I created this blog mind you!) . Today is a new day.

Well, here's to a good start!
It's six days before Christmas and I am starting to think about my resolutions for next year. There are plenty of good things I want/need to do but now since I'm really thinking about it...it doesnt sound that appealing anymore. This is why I am starting this blog. I decided maybe if I had some readers who read what I was going to do I might become more inclined to follow through with the resolutions.
I think I am going to break down my resolutions into headings. That just might be easier. Green means I have already done this.
Finances
Open a savings account
Just to get a head start yesterday I opened a savings account. This is a big thing for me. I love to spend money just as soon as I get it. I even made a budget for myself about two weeks ago but saving money in your regular checking account just does not cut it.
Save $25 out of each paycheck to be put into savings
Put $10 of each paycheck on my credit card bill
Pay $5 of each paycheck to CFNC on my student loans
Check my credit score (not just the report)
Health
Limit myself to two soft drinks a week (im not giving up orange kool-aid or unsweet tea though!)
Exercise 3 times a week for an hour or more
Just overall lose some weight - I wish I could lose atleast 10pds a month but yeah....
Life in General
Do one new thing a week that I havent done before (this should get interesting)
See one new movie a week I havent seen before ( I dont plan on renting just borrowing so you better watch out if you own a collection of movies)
Volunteer 1 day out of each month at the Tryon Palace greenhouse
Join the Tryon Palace Circle of Friends
Join the NB Historical Society
Become a lacto-ovo-vegetarian
Rent my own place
Well I think thats about it...but I might be adding more to this list, I dont know, I never know. Ha!
