Now, I don't usually like New Years resolutions because I tend to to break them within the first month, so what's the point? The point is, I need to stick to something an I said I had a New Years resolutions post coming so here it is!
Here is what I resolve to do better in 2010...
Exercise. I resolve to work out at least twice a week. This is going to my hardest resolution. Someone needs to PUSH me to the gym.
Eat better. Drink less pop/soda (whatever you want to call it) and more water, eat more veggies and eat out less.
Cook more. I want to cook at least twice a week. Twice a week is kind of a lot for a single girl, so the leftovers will really stretch.
Be a better blogger. My blog has really turned into a diary, which is okay but in 2010 I would like to see more controversial topic posts, features and book reviews.
Read more. I have found that I read more the first half of the year. I can't explain why, but January - July I read about a book a week and the rest of the year it is significantly less than that.
Be a better friend. Contact friends more, and not just through text or Facebook. Reach out more and make myself more available.
Travel more. Ok, this is something I just want to do. In 2009 I hardly traveled at all and so far possible trips for 2010 include: a skiing trip, a trip to Las Vegas, a week in Cancun and a couple days in Chicago.
Pay all bills on time. I tend to skip certain bills in order to buy... oh, I don't know. Shoes? It's pretty ridiculous and a bad habit of mine.
Well, that's pretty much it for me. It's a pretty hefty list for me, but I think I can do it!
Do you like to set New Years resolutions? Have you ever kept them?

I like to SET resolutions but I very rarely keep them as I am very lazy and have precisely bugger all willpower.
I actually kept most of mine last year.
I am with you on the eating better, exercising more, being a better blogger, and traveling more.
What type of books do you read?
I love me some new years goals/resolutions. Best of luck with yours!
The biggest New Years Resolution that I ever had and kept is when I vowed to lose weight for the umpteenth time in 2008 - except that time, I did it! I lost and kept off 20 pounds so far. I'd LOVE to lose another 10 though so I'm really hoping this is the year for me!
I always think about making a resolutions but I never do because I can never seem to keep them! Good luck keeping yours!
I never stick to my healthy resolutions...but I am going to try and give up pop this year
I made 3 resolutions last year, and was really successful on 2 of them (get back into running & quit drinking Mountain Dew). I was fairly successful on the last one (cook once a week).
Good luck with your resolutions! I think it just takes some will power & determination. And blogging about it is good because it makes you accountable!
I think that's a great list! I hope all of it works out for you! I'm really bad about resolutions so this year I made "goals" for myself and finances.
Love the list! I'm so excited to see where your blog goes in 2010!
These are some great resolutions. I set about 10 last year and completed about 1/2 of them which IMO isnt' bad. This year, I am only concentrating on 3 of them in hopes that I will make it. Good luck!
