This week our lives will likely crescendo in complete excess. Whether it’s food, drink, money, we’re still in splurge mode. Thankfully the first week of the New Year is just a few days away. This week you’ll read what threemanycooks hope to do differently in 2010. We’d like to give you a chance to do the same by completing the following sentence: “In 2010, I hope to…”

You’ve heard from Sharon. Maggy and I will share our hopes for 2010. Now let’s hear from you!
I plan on eating healthier….along with moderate exercise. I am fighting severe Rhumatoid Arthritis and want to get off of all the medicine I am on. Research shows a healthier eating plan and exercise maybe the key to beating the progression of this disease. Thanks, for the chance to win!!
Be kinder to myself by stating one thing that I like about myself per day (to myself, of course!).
live a life I am happy and content with rather than constantly hoping for said life.
Portion control, moderation, maybe even (gasp) exercise. Take care of ME.
in 2010 i will do more random acts of kindness, and smile more!!!
My goal for the next year is to lose the 50 pounds I have put on since having kids. And I am already on my way 8 pounds down!!
I plan to enjoy my new married life, and try to exercise more.
Learn how to sit still and read a book or contemplate life.
I will lose 30 pounds by March when I go to see mom for her 70th birthday.
My resolution is to lose 15 lbs by summer, and apply to 5 MBA schools in the fall. 2010 is gonna be a good year!
in 2010, I plan to fit regular exercise into my week and stop night time snacking, with the goal of dropping some pounds, the amount is not as important as the lifestyle change for me…
be healthier. I need to take better care of myself and my family so that we are around for our kids.
In 2010, I hope to get out of debt, get out of my comfort zone, get into our first home, and get nearer to God.
accomplish my list of ten things that I compose every New Year’s Eve. They range from simple things like cook with a vanilla bean to physical things like do a layback in bellydance to experiences like seeing the terracotta soldiers at the Smithsonian.
In 2010 I hope to become aware…
*Of our surroundings…may they please become organized!
*Of how often we eat out when we need to eat in.
*Planning is the key to making the first two workable.
This is the goal…now to the plan!
In 2010 I hope to not worry about my weight and focus on cooking great food and knowing exactly what I’m eating.
In 2010 my goals are to
run a 10K (never have done that)
Stay physically fit
and lose the ten pounds that I have put on this last year.
Definitely my goals included PORTION CONTROL and more exercise. I’m awful about portion control, just awful.
Realize the me I’m supposed to be. I’ve gotten all the ducks in a row, and now it’s time to have them start swimming. I bought your book yesterday with a gift card. I like the mindfulness of it. And the peace.
OMG where do I start!
2010 goals are to focus less on my body and more on my health. Set healthy examples for my children and stop stressing about little things. Oh yeah, and getting a good night’s rest every night. There’s more, but we’ll start there.
Good luck everyone! Happy, healthy 2010 to all!
In 2010, I hope to graduate. Finally. For good. It probably won’t happen, but a girl has to have dreams.
In 2010, I hope to stomp my foot less, stand up straighter, do something outside everyday, read more, and love the people in my life better. Oh, and to finish writing my book.
In 2010, I hope to make small monthly goals that are achievable, rather than grandios New Year’s resolutions that go down in flames three weeks later. I want to be kind to myself this year. I’m finally learning, that if I am content, it is easier to be good to the other special people in my life. I want to exercise more, but not get obsessive as in the past and cause injury. I want to still make fantastic food, but ease away from (some) of the butter and cream that ends up in many dishes.
In 2010 I vow to take care of myself and live a healthier, happier life for myself and for my family. By getting organized, creating weekly menus and writing down my small, achievable goals, I hope to make a change that stays with me for the rest of my life!
In 2010 I plan to become more financially secure. I have been graced with a well-paying and interesting career, and I have not been such a good steward with my money, so compulsive buying along with an aversion to putting money away for later is something I want to change about myself; it’s time for that.
In 2010, I plan to buy organic and feed my family better quality foods.
I would like to lose 30 pounds, by eating healthier and moving more. I vow to take better care of me and strive for a happier life for not only me but my family. I hope to be a kinder more giving person in 2010 and stop sweating the small stuff!
This is all meant to be-I found this website in Runner’s World which I was reading because this year I want to run. Maybe not very far and definitely not very fast, but Run…
In 2010, I hope to become healthier. Not because of my apperance, but because I want to be able to spend time doing the things I love with my husband and our seven kids. I want to be around for them for a long time. (My husband is active duty military and is away alot. So the time we do get together is important.) I am tired of being tired and ready to make that change!
In 2010 I will focus on developing good posture and drinking more water.
In 2010 I hope to make even more quilts, become an even better cook, and master my cast iron skillets. And maybe lose some weight and exercise a little. Not necessarily all in that order – or even all period!
In 2010 I’m going to work on exercising regularly and cutting sugar out of my diet. Time to get it under control!
I hope to complete my quilt tops, start exercising more, and eating healthier before I get too old to do any of these!
I hope to drop a few pounds, be more active, cook some new recipes, and to take life one day at a time.
In 2010, I hope to complete my first half-marathon. With training for this, I plan to cut back on my sugar and calorie intake to help with the weight loss to complete the half marathon.
I don’t HOPE to …I WILL…be someone who continues to love dessert and bread — but also loves himself enough to enjoy them in moderation and with equal portions of running (with my seminary/running friend, Colin).
In 2010, I hope to… get a hired.
In 2010, I hope to cook and eat more VEGETABLES
In 2010, I hope to exercise more and eat healthier.
Oh dear. I don’t do New Year resolutions, but I’d sure like to win that book. Happy New Year to all!
In 2010, I hope to edit my novel, exercise more, try more recipes that intimidate me, and get married (in no particular order)!
To eat one fruit a day for a year…yeah, that’s how far off track my unhealthy diet is.
Less fast food, smaller portions of really good food, preferably home-cooked.
Oh, and plenty of exercise!
In 2010 I hope to continue cooking adventurously!
In 2010, I hope to get myself back on track. After a very hectic year, I need to settle down and focus on my goals of finishing grad school, loosing all that honeymoon weight (being married makes you fat!) and finding a job, a real job.
In 2010 I plan to exercise more regularly and eat/cook healthier meals.
I would love to lose weight in 2010. That could happen if I keep my other goal of getting my yard into shape cause that is gonna take a lot of work.
I hope to live a heathier life and to put a plan together to retire at the end of 2010.
Spiritually, I want to be the change I want to see in the world: Gossip less. Be more compassionate. Less competitive. More generous. More open. But that was also my resolution for 2009. It’s an ongoing journey 🙂 Physically, I’d love to conquer my nemesis yoga poses: handstand and crow. And I’d like to channel (and challenge) my inner runner to leave the treadmill and hit the real road so I started the first day of 2010 with an 8 mile outdoor run in chilly 20F weather.
Lose 30 pounds by my 30th Birthday…in July! Walking more and trying new recipes!
