Now that we're a few days into February, I thought I'd take a look at the goals I had set for 2012 and see how I did in January. Off the top of my head I think I'd give myself a C+, which is not great. The month whizzed by and certain things I put off until "next week" turned into being put off until next month! I'd like to get back on track for February though and hope for A+ months going forward.
Reviewing my 2012 goals, here is how I ranked by category.
Health
- Floss regularly: C - Probably doing so 3x per week
- Sleep a minimum of 8 hours per night: D - Probably doing so 1x per week
- Eat more vegetables: A - I've made sure to have veggies at lunch & dinner
- Eat less processed food: B - I'm eating more fresh foods, but can't quit the Trader Joe's frozen turkey meatballs. Do they contain crack?
Fitness
- Register for less races and focus more on quality training: A - I've resisted registering for the Mermaid Run Half Marathon, San Dieguito Half Marathon, La Jolla Half Marathon, and the Super Seal Triathlon. The only one there is a good chance of me doing is Super Seal. Although it might sell out by the time I decide.
- Incorporate strength training into my routine at least twice a week: D - Out of my 16 planned core workouts over the past 5 weeks I have done 6.
- Bike at least twice a week (once indoors, once outdoors): A - Out of 10 planned bike rides I've completed 9! 5 indoors on my trainer, 4 outside.
- Do Bikram Yoga at least twice a month: F - I have yet to make it to yoga this year
- Run a 3:55 full marathon: TBD
- Run a 1:45 half marathon: TBD
- Complete at least one triathlon (preferably Olympic distance): TBD
- Complete a century ride (100 miles): TBD
Life
- Get to work by 8-8:30am regularly (instead of 9am): F - I've done this once.
- Develop a personal branding statement: TBD
- Manage my expenses better: B - I filed my taxes already and am going to start using Mint.com this weekend.
- Attend church regularly: C - I've gone twice and watched the podcast twice
- Play the piano at least once a week: F - Haven't done this yet. Hope to start this weekend.
General
- Continue to work to improve on everything I do: B - I think by consciously tracking my goals I'm on the right track!
Without weighting the different goals, my overall grade for January is a C. Ouch! Let's hope for more A's and B's next month!
How are you doing with your 2012 goals and resolutions?

We have a lot of very similar goals. The crazy thing is that I would probably grade myself the same way you graded yourself on the items we have in common. Especially the going to Bikram one. I really need to go!
So un-asian for us to get C's... ;o) haha Lets hope Feb is better!
So hard on yourself! BTW, I think technically a century ride is 112 miles, not 100. I don't know why they call it a century if it's 112 miles? Or is it just the Ironman that's 112 miles? Now I'm confused.
You and I are measuring up quite similar as far as our goals go! Time to kick it in to gear for Feb!
Flossing...hmm. That's a good one. Adding it to my February goals :)
Here's to getting a 4.0 in February!
Haha, Hoping for Honor Roll too :)
