2010 Goals

November 2, 2010 | Uncategorized

Happy rainy Tuesday! I tell ya, all this rain is making me so sleepy! Not to mention the garlic fries and half of a cheeseburger I had for lunch!

My mom and I ran some errands, and I went with her to vote, and we went to lunch at New Orleans Hamburger Company. I hadn’t been to this new(er) location so it was a nice change. I generally try to only eat beef one a week or so, and this cheeseburger hit the spot! It was so big I couldn’t even finish half, and it came with the most amazing garlic fries! They were so rich, I only had half of those, too.

Rain rain go away

One of my favorite blogs to read it N Her Shoes. I love hearing about all of Bobbi’s fun adventures and she just so happens to be an awesome runner! Anyway, I am totally stealing an idea from her because I love lists! Bobbi made a list of goals for the rest of the year, which is a great idea since we get so busy and a lot of things end up being thrown out the window due to parties, shopping, being with friends and family, etc. This got me really thinking about what I want to accomplish before 2010 is over. Here is my list:

1.)recover from this IT band injury

2.)run 3-4 days a week

3.)read at least two books

4.)volunteer for a charity or at church during the Christmas season

5.)cook 4-5 new recipes

6.)strength train 2-3x’s a week

7.)Read my Bible everyday. I try to read everyday but honestly 1-2 times a week I just forget.

8.)eat at home more, and at the table, not in front of the TV

9.)Make something for the new house. I am not crafty but would love to be! Suggestions?

 

So, there you go. if I remember, I will revisit this in January!

QOTD: What is something you want to have done by the end of 2010?

    I want to run a 5K in 30 minutes. (I’m really slow, don’t judge.) I’m averaging 11:03 pace right now.

    My goal for 2010 (non-athletic) was to read 1 book a month. So far i am on my 10th book this year! last year i only read 1 book all year! I knew you were a Disnet travel Agent but i didn’t know i could book thru you, i thought i had to call disneyy directly. i’ll keep that in mind for next year 🙂

    • runningwithsass says

      November 2, 2010 at 12:28 pm

      oh yes, I can book everything for you! (thats the only way I get paid if I do the booking haha) we can also do takeovers, where we can takeover an existing disney reservation that was booked through disney! :oP
      thats great looks like you will meet your goal!

    I hope to run a sub 22 minute 5K and get our Christmas cards out more than one day before Christmas.

    • runningwithsass says

      November 2, 2010 at 7:43 pm

      haha. Christmas cards have a way of getting on the back burner. a sub 22 sounds awesome!

    I love the idea of making mid-year goals! Good luck! I hope you meet them-especially healing the IT band!

    I know just what you mean about needing to eat at the table more instead of in front of the tv. Just today as I sat on my bed eating a bowl of cereal, I wondered if it’s possible to forget how to eat properly at the table. Probably not, but the thought crossed my mind.

    By the end of the year, I plan to have written in my journal every single week of this year.

    • runningwithsass says

      November 2, 2010 at 7:45 pm

      it’s so hard sometimes when I can get more done by multitasking!
      I used to journal a lot, but, like a lot of things, it has gone away due to time!

    My biggest goal is to book my damn honeymoon! We want to go to Disney so bad but the whole planning process is overwhelming me! I was so psyched to see that you do that! Maybe we can help each other with our respective goals!

    Goal-setting is one of my favorite things! I really like having something to work towards and look forward to. I wouldn’t mind a 5K PR before the end of this year.

    • runningwithsass says

      November 4, 2010 at 6:45 am

      I really wanted to put that, and I was planning to run one tis month and I know I will PR b/c my current PR is from a year ago, but, with my IT band I dont want to risk hurting it. boo.

    You’ve got some good goals…I should probably steal them! We ate supper in front of the TV. The Husband is currently playing Fable III while I’m blogging about — at least we are in the same room…right?

    I also need to read some more books! I have one with a bookmark at about chapter 5, so I’m trying!

    • runningwithsass says

      November 4, 2010 at 6:46 am

      OMG yall sound just like us. my husband went out and got fable III the day it was released!

Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ The Cosmo Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ 

The Cosmo JrTrack 5 Smartwatch has been the perfect in-between for us — she can call and text the people I approve, I can see where she is with GPS, and it has school mode, SOS, activity tracking, and even a little camera she loves. 

We got the Holiday Bundle with the screen protector and LaunchPad stand, and it honestly just makes the whole thing easier. 

If you want the link, comment “watch” and I’ll have it sent straight to your inbox. 🎄⌚️✨

🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 
There’s just something about the holidays in the Smoky Mountains — the lights, the laughter, the togetherness — it all feels extra magical. #sponsored

Our first stop was Dolly Parton’s Stampede, the world’s most visited dinner attraction, and it’s easy to see why. The pre-show in the Stampede Saloon had us singing along to country and Christmas classics before we sat down for a four-course feast that could rival any holiday dinner. 🐴 

Then the arena came alive with 32 magnificent horses, trick riders, and dancers bringing the spirit of the season to life with a friendly North vs. South Pole rivalry, toys that come alive, and even Santa arriving in a horse-drawn sleigh. Pure holiday joy from start to finish! 🎅🏻 

Next up was the Titanic Museum Attraction, beautifully transformed into an Elegant Edwardian Christmas, giving Titanic the Christmas voyage she never got.  We each received a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger, explored the Grand Staircase, and even touched the icy 28-degree water.  The interactive exhibits made history come alive, and it was such an emotional, unforgettable experience for all of us. 

And to end the weekend, we dove into adventure at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.  Led by Captain Blackbeard himself, the Crimson and Sapphire crews battled for treasure with acrobatics, mermaids, fire stunts, and even a sea lion! Between the four-course pirate feast and the jaw-dropping stunts, it was nonstop fun and the perfect grand finale to our Pigeon Forge weekend. 🏴‍☠️ 

 This trip reminded me that time together really is the best gift. Add Pigeon Forge and these incredible attractions to your holiday must-do list this season. ❤️

Comment “Pigeon Forge” and I’ll send you links to grab your tickets before they sell out!
