New Year's Resolutions

Well, we're in the 2nd week of the New Year, so I figured I'd put my resolutions out there. Obviously, one of them isn't to do things on time or this would've been up on January 1st. Anyway, here's what I'm hoping to accomplish in 2010-

1. Exercise more. I'm getting a gym membership this year and the gym is on my way home from work, so no more excuses! I'm hoping to go 3-5 days a week, though ideally I would go all seven. Even if I just do 30 minutes a day on a treadmill, elliptical, etc., as long as I'm moving and getting some exercise.
2. Eat less. I'm not going to say eat better since I've learned I can't live without certain foods (what can I say, I like chocolate.). So I'm hoping to just cut down on the portions of what I eat.
3. Take more time for myself. One way I'm hoping to do this is if Pearl Jam goes on tour. I'd love to take some time and travel to see them in various cities on the East Coast. The great part about that is not only do I get to see them play (a lot), I get to visit friends that I don't see too often. It's really a win-win.
4. Spend less. Too often I go shopping for clothes and shoes when I don't really need to and I'm hoping to curb that this year. It's okay to purchase things every once in awhile, but within reason.
5. For the 2nd year in a row, I plan on reading all ten books on Entertainment Weekly's Top 10 Fiction Books of 2009. Along with a few other personal selections, I'm hoping to have all of those books read by the end of the year.

So, those are the things I'm hoping to do this year. What about you, did you make resolutions this year? Have you already broken them? Share your resolutions as well as your successes and failures with them.

All of that said, Happy New Year!
