How Did You Do On Last Year's Resolutions?

I always like to review my resolutions/smart goals from the beginning of the year to see how we did. Do you remember what yours were? How did you do? Here's how we did:

Karen's:

Have morning devotions in den each morning (which means less blog commenting).
YES, I did quite well on this one. I am in the process of reading the Bible through for the second time and it gives me some direction. I'm also jotting down what I read each day.

Have more fun--do something new or go somewhere new each month.
Nope, I didn't do too well on this one. I can't think of anyplace we went this year that was new for us. I'm going to have to use this one again for 2011 and see if I can do better.

Work out at home at least three times per week.
Nope, that lasted for about two months. Too many distractions! I do plan on working out at least three times a week in 2011 and rejoined Fitworks so that I can go before work or at lunch time. That works best for me.

Eat healthy--stay away from the donuts!
Almost! I was doing very well on this one for the first two months. Then I changed floors at work and thought I should be social so started eating donuts on Fridays again. I did limit myself to only one instead of three though so that was improvement at least.

Be spontaneous at least 5 times.
Yes, I did these:
1) skipped along down the hall before work
2) sing on my way to the bus stop
3) Went to the Browns Family Day Scrimmage on a whim
4) Started our book blog
5) made a snowman on my day off

6) cookie decorating at the rainforest 
7) I was very silly at puppet practice after the Brown beat the Patriots--I was in such a good mood!
8) Took Abby for walks on the spur of the moment

Make someone's day at least once a week.
Almost, I did try to do this. At least I thought about it practically every day. I'll try to improve on this in 2011 too!

Gerard's:

Spend less money on clothes.
Yes, done.

Both:

Read at least 50 books in 2010.
We both accomplished this one by a lot: Gerard (98), Karen (89)

No Pop in 2010 except at parties.
Yes for Karen, No for Gerard.

It rained all day today--so much for being active.

You did a really good job of keeping your resolutions! I don't make them any more since it just sets me up for failure. I will try to workout on our elliptical more this year so maybe that could be a resolution in a round about way!
