2013 is the year of discipline

2012 was the year of adventure.  2013 i'm going to focus on being more disciplined in general.  we'll see how this goes...

5. visit at least 3 new countries-hong kong and thailand down, 1 to go

16. walk the seawall by my house every night-in progress; i haven't done it as much as i've meant to but i have been working out 5 days a week so that's something
17. use my vitamix everyday-in progress; i pretty much use it everyday.  best. purchase. ever.
18. use less store bought items, make more things myself-in progress; made homemade fizzing bath balls, sugar scrub, and cleaner.  i'm also working on only using natural products. i'm slowly using up the products i already have and replacing them with natural versions.
19. blog once a week-in progress; i don't know why i suck so much at blogging.
20. email a friend/family member once a week-in progress; doing better but not quite weekly. i'm actually writing more than emailing but i think that counts.
21. actually do the things i pin on pinterest-in progress; i use pinterest ideas all of the time.

23. read 5 classics-haven't started yet; i keep spending my reading time on book club books but i have several downloaded on my kindle.
24. be active in my ward-in progress
25. get laser hair removal-scheduled!  first appointment is jan 19th.  it's crazy cheap here.  5 sessions for underarms is only like $50!  
26. sew one thing-haven't started yet, unless you count buttons and a rip in a shirt.
27. keep a daily gratitude journal-in progress
28. use my craft supplies-in progress; i'm going to really cut back the tv watching and step up the crafting.
29. decorate for every holiday-in progress; my house was a winter wonderland and i'm all decked out for valentine's day!
30. only buy things i really love-in progress; this is something i'm trying really hard to do and i'm doing much better.  
31. cut back on dairy intake-in progress; i have gotten rid of all the dairy in my house (minus baking supplies) and am working really hard to avoid dairy.  being dairy free seems to be helping my stomach and my skin.
