Alright, My resolution this year is very challenging.. I have decided I want to be able to do the splits.. now, I don't know if this is possible for me or not.. but I'm going to try my best.
I just measured on the wall how far I have to go to be able to do the splits.. basically layed on my back with my legs against the wall and measured how many inches away from 180 degrees I am.. well.. it is a sad state of affairs.. 28 inches to go o.O idk what the exact angle is, but it's probably about 110 degrees now.. so yeah, a ways to go.
So, I figure that if I aim for 2 1/3 inches a month, by the end of the year, I'll be there :D That being said, I'm sure the first number of inches will go faster than the last ones, but.. it's a rough guideline.. Oh yeah, also, that 28 inches is without any other stretching.. like, just right off the hop. I'm sure if I layed there and stretched for the next 15 minutes, It would be a lot less, but whatever.. :P
I want to be able to do the splits in all 3 directions also.. but this way is easiest to measure, and also it's the hardest way to do the splits.. splits to the front are easy, I used to be able to do that years ago, but I've never been able to do the splits in the middle before..
OK.. noone else cares about this, I'm sure.. I'm just writing to keep me on track.

End of Year wrapup
Well, I made it thru the whole year with pretty well sticking to my resolution.. there was a couple months I didn't, but all in all, I'm really proud of myself.
Dance is a pretty big part of my life now, so I'm so glad I finally did that, cuz I've been wanting to do it for so many years. I completely love my classes and I'm learning so much. I just dropped 900 bucks to cover the rest of my classes til June, so I'll definitely be keeping on with that.
My second resolution about the business stuff all worked out just fine. I have things on track and have been dutifully plugging all the information into my spreadsheet that Bryce helped me out with. Business has been going well and I'm learning more and more about what works and what doesn't.
I've been thinking a lot about what I want my resolution to be for the new year.. The purpose of my last years resolution was to get exercising 3 time a week and make it part of my regular routine, and I definitely accomplished that. So, I think it'd be a little redundant to have the same resolution for this year. I already will be doing that with dance classes. One thing I do want to do tho, is start taking 1 yoga or pilates class a week in addition to my dance classes. There is a floor barre class at the dance studio that I can go to, and I have 7 free classes to use up with paying for the coming semester.. so I may start with that or I may find a good drop in class.. Also, I'm already paying a ton of money for my dance classes, so I'm not sure if I want to pay for a yoga class or just do it myself at home. I also tossed around the idea of having my resolution be something like drinking 2L of water a day. But.. that's a little tedious to track.. So I'm undecided on that one. I could probably stand to drink more water than I do tho.. when it's busy at work, I often forget to drink water. Anyways, I'll keep brainstorming about resolutions for the coming year.
Now for the sappy bit:
I'm so glad Bryce talked me into being a part of this resolution challenge. It's really cool to see how well everyone is doing who took part in this, and I'm really happy for that. There's a lot that a person can accomplish in a year and I think we all did really well and I'm excited to see what we'll accomplish next year!
Phew, oh good, it wasn't that sappy
