Stereotypical 2012 resolutions

I know everyone is posting their resolutions and goals for 2012, and I am no different.  I will try to keep them short and sweet because I am sure there are a million of these types of posts out there.

1.  Lose 25 and FINALLY get to my goal weight.  I was so close and I screwed up these last few months.. I WILL get there.  And to get there, here are a few of my subgoals
   ** drink at least 6 bottles of water a day
   ** get back to only one diet coke a day
   ** track food again for at least 30 days to get the portions and calories back in my mind

2.  Start eating healthy again.  Since October I have been allowing more processed and easy foods back into my diet.  About that time I noticed my depression flaring up as well as my acne getting worse again.  Not sure if it is a direct result of the chemicals in the food but its definitely worth investigating.

3.  Become more fiscally responsible.  My running and races cost money.  Because of that I need to get control of my "for fun" shopping.  We aren't poor by any means, but I feel like we could be putting money into savings.

4.  Incorporate more cross-training and weight training into my life.  I love running but I need to work on these types of things to help reduce my chances of injury.

5.  Train for and successfully run a full marathon.  This will be my ONLY running goal this year.  I want to improve my times and run lots of fun races, but I want to make sure that my focus is on staying healthy for the full marathon that I will run in December 2012.

6.  Successfully raise money for St Jude.  I would LOVE to raise $2,620 That works out to $100 per mile.   I figure what better time to raise money than my first marathon and St. Jude is SUCH a great cause.  I am scared about trying to raise that much money but hopeful that somehow I will pull it out!  Any fundraising suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I am hoping to solicit some donations from a couple running companies to do some giveaways but outside of that I have no clue.  I also have NO clue how to go about soliciting donations, so... I may end up purchasing things for a giveaway instead. Hah.
