The Hubz and I have been spending the weekend enjoying the sun and each others company.  I have also made a few updates to the blog that I want to let you know about.

1. Check out the new tab: Reviews– this tab will feature product reviews currently I have just added two, Kaia Foods (check out the giveaway) and Galaxy Nutritional Foods Vegan Cream Cheese

2. Newsletter Updates: I know that many of you signed up for the newsletter months ago and If you can remember how it was:

HUGE improvement! I really appreciate the positive feedback from those who received the most recent newsletters. I also would like to put it out there that if you are interested in any specific topics or have questions that you would like to see featured on the blog or in the newsletter please email me (Lindsay@cookingforaveganlover.com).

3. Special Health Counseling Rates for CVL Readers This also went out in the newsletter but since some of you have not signed up yet I will give you the chance to see it here. However to receive additional special CVL only rates, news and additional promotions/specials please sign up for my newsletter (you can do so on the side bar.)

Resolutions for 2011

7 Comments

This year is all about setting S.M.A.R.T. Goals aka Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Tangible Goals. Last night the Hubz and I kept it pretty low key with homemade tempura veggies, martinis and too many episodes of House Hunters.  We also took a minute to sit down and work on our goals for the new year.
I wasn’t quite as successful last regarding my goals- you can checkout how everything went here.
I know that this year I am setting goals that I can complete and look forward to the adventure.

    1. Attend a blogger conference – this might be a slight cheater one but I will be attending Vida Vegan Blog Conference .  After a long discussion with the Hubz we finally decided that we would make the trip to PDX for the conference and we are looking forward to it.


    2. Do an overnight backpacking trip on the Long Trail- this is one of the goals the Hubz and I have together.  He has developed a new found love for hiking and I am warming up to it as well.  I have decided that this year I want to try new things and challenge myself and an overnight backpacking trip will definitely be a challenge worth doing.
    3. Run a 5k- As you will see this is one of my goals from last year that I totally failed on.  I decided that I am still wanting to challenge myself athletically and put this back on my list to give myself a second chance.
    4. Blog with a purpose- I have decided that I really need to take more time with my blogging and write high quality blog posts.  I do not want to pressure myself to write everyday but write when I want to and only submit post that I am proud of.
    5. Embrace Health Counseling- I will receive my health counseling certification in April.  I currently am able to counsel but I only have a limited number of clients.  This year I would like to increase my clients, work on marketing my business and teach a health/nutrition related course at a local  gym, co-op or health food shop.

    Other things I want to do in 2011:

    • Create a “grown up” bedroom – one that has a bedroom set, a style, and is a place that the Hubz and I can retreat to; a space of our own.
    • Revamp my blog- make improvements to the layout as well as the features.
    • Update my health counseling blog….rather have the Hubz do it.
    • Get to my happy weight by trying new activities such as P90X, hiking, running and yoga.
    • Spend more time reading. Do you have any book recommendations?
    • Spend more quality time with the Hubz- make a conscious effort to have 1 date night a week.

    What are your goals for 2011?
