Last year I came up with 21 resolutions for 2009. Only about 18 were realistic. I was able to accomplish about 11 of them. This year I thought I would give it another shot. Some of these aren’t serious, but I’m hoping they’re attainable. As you can see, some are just plain fun. This list is more about what I would like to accomplish in 2010 rather than resolutions…but oh well, here goes (in no particular order):
1. Complete 90 straight days of P90X.
I recently bought the program on Craigslist from a guy who got it and decided he didn’t want to do it. I’m making it my goal to complete the system at least once and try to lose weight, add muscle, and tone up.
2. Read 24 books.
Last year my goal was 12-15 and I made it through 18, including the entire Harry Potter series. This year I’m going for 24.
3. Avoid all Twilight movies.
Yuck.
4. Attend a midnight showing of a movie.
I’ve only done this once (The Dark Knight). I’d love to do it again for Toy Story 3…if they have midnight showing for kids’ movies.
5. Lead 1 person to Christ.
The number may sound small, but you have to start somewhere.
6. Get published in a publication outside of Randall House.
7. Play Mario Kart online with at least 10 friends at once.
Interested?
8. Watch every DVD I own that I haven’t seen yet.
People are amazed at the amount of DVDs I have that I’ve never seen. I have a habit of buying great movies that are $2 at a used bookstore and never watching them. Time to change that.
9. Finish The Chronicles of Narnia.
I think I’ve read the first book 3 times and stopped the second book soon after. Maybe this year I can persevere.
10. Buy a 5-shelf bookcase and organize my DVDs.
11. Pay off 1 student loan.
12. Win over 100 tickets at 1 game at Dave and Busters.
I’m awful at those games. But I will beat you in basketball!
13. Consistently read the Bible and find a reading plan that helps me do it.
14. Beat 1 video game.
I’m not good at video games.
15. Serve others more
16. Attempt the Blazin’ Challenge at Buffalo Wild Wings
…and live to tell about it.
17. Give more money and stuff away than I ever have before.
Money is just temporary and stuff is just stuff.

P90X changed my life! You should see how ripped I am! All kidding aside, I’m in better shape at 36 than I was at 26. The program works if you work it.
Tony Horton can be a bit annoying, but not as annoying as people who do P90X and then reply on blogs about how awesome it is!

I am offended by the Toy Story 3 comment. It is family entertainment that appeals to all ages. Please remove the statement and release a formal apology ASAP

You know I’m in on the Mario Kart thing.
