healthy couscous cucumber salad

How are you doing with your resolutions? Have you revisited them? Revised them? Thrown them out the window?

I think now that we are 1/6 of the way through the year it is a good time to look at them again and see how we are doing? Shall we?

Here is my status:

1. Do some exercise every day - While I do not do it every day, I do do it almost every day. I have started running, in place while watching tv. I know, I know, doesn't sound like much... but Ive noticed a big improvement. I began at 10 minutes a shot. Now I do 20. Working my way up...
2. Eat only feta and parmesean cheese - I am almost keeping this... with a few provolone incidents.
3. Do three large creative projects - Still in the idea stages but I will make this happen.
4. Do something for myself 4 times a week - Well, I think this one has got to slide. I may have over reached this year.
5. Eat five homemade soups - I have very much completed this one and more. Plus I will not stop until it gets super warm. I attribute this one to my over all well being, fighting the nasty bugs of the winter months.

Only 10 months to go...

So, how are you doing??
