I’m not a huge fan of resolutions, because they feel kind of unmeasurable, and I usually forget about them. This year, I’m going to try something (slightly) different, and set specific goals, as Teach for America has so kindly taught me how to do.

So here, for public consumption and accountability are my goals for 2011:

1. Lose 10 pounds before the summer. (How? Working out an average of 3 times a week and re-joining Weight Watchers, which helped me lose 10 pounds in three months in 2009.)

2. Bike 50 miles in the Tour de Cure for Diabetes in Long Beach in May.

3. Read 8-10 books, with the help of my new super awesome Nook!

4. Blog….more. (This shouldn’t be hard, as right now, I’ve averaging six posts a year.)

And that’s all I’ve got mentally for now, as I have a horrifying cold and am currently wrapped in the softest blanket on earth reading Dan Savage’s The Commitment on my Nook, both courtesy of my super awesome boyfriend. Hopefully, if I stick to goal #4, I’ll be back with a voice and a slightly higher capacity for thought soon.
