And I think I am doing ok. I have been so exhausted lately that it's tough to find the time to fit everything in. But here is what I have accomplished so far...
I have ordered some decor for the new living room as well but those will be delivered soon and photos will be up on the next blog post Hopefully.
Falling Asleep without the TV: I haven't accomplished this 100% but I am getting better at going to my room when I start feeling sleepy instead of falling asleep on the couch and waking up in the middle of the night to sleepwalk to bed. It also might help if I hang all the clothes up that are on my bed So it is more appealing to sleep there. I have this problem of doing my laundry and then leaving it on my bed and not putting it away. Then days go by and after trying something on, not liking it and then throwing it on my bed day after day night after night the pile grows larger and larger. My goal this weekend is to have a clean room. We will see if that happens.
12 New Foods: I am such a pansy. I am counting this for right now but I am not happy with this "try". Collard Greens. I tried them. Fail. Did not like them at all. They have never been on my list to try so why did I even attempt this? Well it's the only thing I have attempted this month. I almost want to punish myself and try 2 new things next month. But nonetheless I tried them. Why do people eat them? They were not good at all.
12 New Things in NYC: I went to Lincoln Center to Dizzy's to hear Jazz. It was awesome!! I have wanted to go to real Jazz clubs here in NYC and Dizzy's is one of the best of the best. I had a blast and plan to go hear more. I recommend it to everyone when they come visit. I went with Miguel and Bethany for B's 30th Birthday. (She is due with a baby boy in 8 weeks. So excited!!)
Company: In the process of getting the name trademarked. Excited to share with you guys once it is.
Getting my Body Back: Having the flu for a week helped me loose about 5lbs. I wasn't really wanting to loose weight but I am not complaining. I was wanting to "tighten up" instead but this will work for now. I have decided to start swimming. Running is hurting my knees more and more and making me get closer to surgery. I want to avoid surgery as long as I can so swimming will hopefully help me get in shape and build the muscle around my knees for support. Picture of Meredith in our swim caps and goggles coming soon.
So that is about it for right now. It doesn't seem like a lot but I barely have time for sleep much less my personal life. I work about 80 hours a week in a 40 hour time frame then I usually have something every night after work, don't get to bed before 1:30am then wake up at 6:30am to start the day over again. On the weekends i beg to sleep in but usually have something planned with the girls and then dates or dinner with friends planned for the night. I am worn out.
Yes, I have been dating. It's.... ummm... interesting. None so far I have been excited about and a few of them I just wanted to run away from. I didn't think I was picky but I am starting to think that I really am. If a guy is my height that is a deal breaker. If he says "like" too much when he talks that is a deal breaker. If he has never lived outside of his hometown that is a deal breaker. Come on friends, you can find better men to set me up with than that.
So that has been my month in a nutshell. I think it's been pretty good so far. They only thing that worries me on time is the reading thing. I better get to work on that.
I will do a better job at posting as the month goes on.

I have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM with the clothes on the bed!! I atleast try to keep them on one side though, so I have room for me on the other.
LOVING these updates!! Good for you for already accomplishing things on the list!

You're doing great! Here I thought you were slacking, but you were too busy doing stuff on your list (plus dating!) to write the post! :) This is going to make for an interesting year, Jamie.
The apartment is looking goooood... you'll have to upload pics when your new decor is all arranged!
I'm proud of you, Jamie. It sounds like a wonderful life to me. I remember at HUF, I don't think you slept in your bed the entire semester. I started swimming a few years ago and it did wonders for me...I haven't done anything since I had my 2nd, so I need to start swimming again.
