Ok, so as you may know I have lacked in my blogging efforts. But have no fear, Darci Meyer is back and continuing on her goals. February 15th, 2010 + President's Day + I don't have to work = getting back on track. Today I worked out with my slim in 6 DVD's, I've never offically completed the six weeks, so this time, I am going to try. Two weeks on start up, two weeks on ramp it up, and two weeks on Burn It! Sounds fun huh?? I know, I am overflowing with excitement. :)
I have continued to read the Beck Diet Solution book and have learned a lot. I eat a lot, I have a lot of triggers, and I enjoy my time in the kitchen/table. So, this week I am going to work on revamping my unhealthy habits into healthy habits. It's so easy, I know I will have it beat in a day or so.....
Books read so far, Remember Me from Sophia Kinsella (very good!) I'm am currently reading The Help, by Kathryn Stockett. So far, great book as well! I may be fat, but wow, I'm good at picking some great reads!
Finally, I am working on spirtual growth. I am working through the bible, but have also realized that my growth is happening every day with the people that I am around. I feel I have grown as a person and am thankful for the influences in my life.
LIFE IS GOOD!

ONE WEEK DOWN
Ok, so I have officially completed week one...and I have to say, I'm proud of myself. I did part of every goal this week, although I could have pushed myself harder, I still did it..I still tried. That has to count for something right?? I mean, it took me years to get where I am at... I have to face reality and know that it may take years to get where I want to be.
To recap my week, I excerised 3 times last week. My goal is to try and work out every day this week and from here on out. I bought a new book, "The Beck Diet Solution, Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person." So far, the book has really made me think and it speaks to me about my little monkey on my shoulder who tells me to "eat this and not that".."dont' workout today, you can do it tomorrow"..."don't worry that your clothes are tight"...I could go on and on. So now, I am going to "train" my monkey to say nice things like..."you deserve to be happy and thin!!" I am going to try...that's better than not, right?? Exercise-Check.
Reading--I read "Have a Little Faith" by Mitch Albom. It was a great book, I would definatley recommend it to everyone! It actually helped me to check off two of my goals. New book and spiritual growth. Now I am reading, "Sundays At Tiffany's", by James Patterson. So far, so good! Reading-Check, Spiritual Growth-Check.
Even though I read a book about spiritual growth, I was also given the opportunity for growth of a different kind. I was approached to be a Sunday School teacher, although I have hesitation about it because of my inept knowledge, I also feel God has given me this opportunity to teach. Spiritual Growth-Check, Check.
Oh yes, and the best and most fun goal...new recipe. Ok, to be honest my husband created this recipe, but it was new...so that should count for something. My husband put a roast in a crockpot..ok, I realize that isn't new, but he put a package of aus jus in it. The roast was so tender and flavorful. It was GREAT!
Til next week....postiive thoughts, postive thoughts, postive thoughts!

2010-So it BEGINS!
And so, 2010 begins! How am I going to make this year better than the last? It can't be too hard, I think to date 2009 has been one of the more challenging years of my life. But because I have positive energy around me at this very second, (it may leave quickly, so I will type fast)2010 is going to be GREAT, WONDERFUL, THE BEST YEAR EVER!!!
I find I need to hold myself accountable for my life and my actions (weird huh, new revelation, I know). Through this blog I will journal on how I am reaching my goals...and IF I'm reaching those goals. I unfortunately struggle with will power and determination, I always have good intentions, but the worst follow through when it come to myself. I always seem to put everyone else first in my life, so this blog will serve as my selfish escape throughout 2010.
I have four goals for this year, well maybe more, but four that I can think of right now. Four things that make me happy when I do them, but are hard for me to get started on. Drum roll please.....
Number 1, Read 180 books this year. (180 has no significance except for the fact that it is half of 365) I will keep a running list of what I have read and hope to read.
Number 2, Grow spiritually. Not just attend church, but to actually read the bible, learn from it, question it and grow with it.
Number 3, Try new recipes. I love to cook, but I find that I am in a rut. I make the same things over and over. I need to spice up my palette. I, Darci, will try one new recipe a week.
Number 4, Get healthy. I know, I know, it's number 4 becasue it is my least favorite goal, but unfortunately the most important one. I am going to have a coach this year, my sister, who is a true inspriation. I plan to (oddly enough) exercise more (which shouldn't be hard since I haven't done anything) and be aware of what I am shoving down my throat.
So there you have, the words have been written, they can not be taken back. It is January 3rd and I am on the road to success in 2010!!
So what to do first......a nap? I mean I did write ALOT of stuff!
