One week down, 51 to go.

Week 1 of 2011 didn't go as well as I'd been hoping. I had plans to get up early every day and get to the gym 3 times last week and work out at home.

I was late to work almost every day.

I made it to the gym once - it made every muscle in my body hurt (but in a good way!).

I worked out at home 0 times.

BUT. I'm not going to let one week of not doing everything I promised myself derail all of my plans. And - at least I made it to the gym once instead of not at all!

My other resolutions are goin pretty well. I've taken a zillion and two photos of Dexter (you can find them in my Facebook photos and most of them on Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/lisamkadams/ ) and I'm brainstorming on the crash pads. I am also working on an idea for making dog beds... we'll see how it goes. Dex needs a new one and depending on how it turns out I thought I could probably turn that into a small money making endeavor. I need to look into tax requirements... but that's another topic for another blog post.

I am still working to raise money for the MDA Muscle Walk. I've got a couple of fun incentives for people who donate -- I will "donate" my status to each person who donates - or for my Twitter friends (@LMKAdams) I'll "donate" a tweet. Here's my page where you can donate (the online donating is pretty easy and is secure): https://www.joinmda.org/madisonmusclewalk2011/lisamkadams

I'm not volunteering yet - but I am looking into which opportunites will work out best for my schedule. Something will work out, I'm sure. I just have to narrow down my list of 16 charities that I want to volunteer for - because I don't think I can give substantial time and effort to all of them... I'll just have to donate money to the others.

Alright... I need to get moving - and stop watching "Keeping up with the Kardashians" if I want to get anything done today.
