new year's resolutions

i also wanted to share (some of) my new year's resolutions:

spiritual:
-read the BoM before i graduate
-read one church-related (non-scriptural) book a month
-go to the temple three times a month

physical:
-exercise five times a week
-take a vitamin/calcium pill every day (the doctor at the student health center said i was NOT getting enough calcium)
-eat five servings of fruit/veggies per day (or at least up my veggie intake)
-keep track of the meals we make into a personal cookbook

intellectual:
-read 100 books this year (and blog about them) (see sidebar--i made a reading blog to keep up my critical side)
-graduate with a 4.0 in my master's
-find some new hobbies once i graduate


i know this is a lot. but compared to last year i think they're pretty doable. i had some dumb ones on there last year, like "dessert only once a week." NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. but i'm on track with the book of mormon, the temple's really close, we already exercise a lot and are working on eating healthy, and my reading is going great. i feel really good about it!

I love your cookbook idea! It's one i've been wanting to do, too. How do you plan on doing yours?

i'm not sure! it's something i'm planning on tackling after i graduate. i want to re-teach myself how to use indesign, which i used a lot for my editing minor, but that's more about designing the pages instead of actually making the book. i just really want to be sure to collect all the recipes we've been making so i don't lose them and so i have them all in one place!
