Pretty much what the title asks.

This can mean anything from fitness, to relationships, academic success, your family achieving something with your help, etc.

    A year isn't a whole lot of time.... Here are the goals I set for myself for 2014: I expect to have new flooring installed in my home to buy new appliances, to go on vacation to Hawaii, start seriously contributing to my 401-K, to close some of my open credit cards, to be better positioned in the job I just started, and to maintain my current level of fitness.

    These certainly aren't earth shattering goals.... but those are some of the things I wanted to accomplish this year. A couple of them I've already started/completed (the 401-K, credit card and appliances).

    I'll probably do a self-review / check with myself for some new goals mid year.

    I have 40-50 lbs I need to lose and I think that is very doable in a year. I want to be at least at 140lbs. I want exercise to be a habit again. I want to feel like I felt in my teens, 20's, 30's and early 40's!

    Physically, I would like to be about 50lbs lighter.

    Pretty happy with every other aspect of my life.

    Only because you're threatening...

    Serious answer...Separation/Divorce have derailed my career ambitions for the past three years. I hope to regain my focus, drive, and ambition to continue climbing the ladder. I also hope to finally achieve the body that I never thought possible.

    Hmmm...initially...this is hard. A year ago today I was 8 days from having brain surgery already feeling like I was not living at all. All of this year I've been trying to live in the moment and not focus so much on the future.

    However, there are some things I'd like to work on in my personal life. I tend to spread myself thin and try to do too much for everyone everywhere. People pleaser, if you will. I need to be more assertive about asking others for help when I just don't have the time or energy to do everything.

    Sort of along the same lines, I have to stop making excuses for other people...for example, at work I really need/deserve a raise...but I haven't had one in years basically because of the economy (I work in the housing industry). People tell me I should ask for a raise, but I say, "but but but, it's been hard for the company, business is slow, everyone is hurting..." but at the end of the day EVERYTHING is more expensive now and makes my paycheck feel smaller and smaller and smaller.

    Lol...got a little whiny there. TL;DR version. Be more assertive. Continue living in the moment. Lift like a beast.

    I wish I'll be done with diet forever and already enjoying a better shape and some toning. I also hope I'll be able to run a bit and have more resistence. Apart from fitness I hope I'll be able to cook more nice meals, especially cakes and such, I hope I'll also finally get my 1st degree so that I'll start to study for the second one. I hope I'll make new friends or keep the ones I already have close and I hope I'll still be with my loved one.

    I want my divorce to be final. NOW.
    I need a better paying job.
    This "marriage" fiasco screwed up my job (had to take something NOW), and is going to delay finishing school if I ever do finish.

    I want and need to do work to the house, including finishing the living room, my bedroom and the rooms for the boys.



    So life=Divorce NOW
    Better job
    More quality time with my 2 boys....Doing things they will remember when they are my age.
    No serious dating for awhile

    Home-updated to get through next winter without killing me in heating costs.
    Make it a HOME for my boys and I. I don't want this house being a bachelor pad.

    Fitness-Lose 20lbs by July 12 and have MUCH more endurance and strength.
    Run a "mud run" of some kind over the summer
    Drop another 10-20lbs (reducing % body fat)

    Career
    Working towards my own business with at least one product finalized and ready for online sales by the end of the year (Boating/outdoor products/gear)


    ^^THIS^^ is going to keep me BUSY!

    40 pounds lighter and near the end of my cut.

    My springer all fixed up with all the parts I've been accumulating for her over the last two years.

    Have something actually finished out of all the projects that are going on around our fixer-upper house.

    I would like to conquer my fear of exercise. I was a regular zumba girl until last September when my heart took a hit with endocarditis which then caused a balance problem, and I've only started back to the gym this week. I'm so afraid of stressing my heart out, though, they tell me, exercise will be the "cure" for both problems.

    From a fit point of view, I hope to be in maintenance somewhere between 180-190. Continue to challenge myself to run further distances. Have an entire new wardrobe. On the personal side , kitchen remodel, performance mods to the car, hopefully a Grand Pa or at least on the way to being one.

    I think I am finally at a point in my life where I know what I am looking for but can't seem to find it. I want to be with someone who keeps it real. I want a relationship where we have a mutual trust, a great friendship, and someone that has my back as I have theirs.:love:

    And, own more guns n ammo :drinker:

    My life is just now settling down a bit after the past 3 years of transition/change (tornado, moves, divorce, job changes, mother-in-law dying from cancer, father-in-law's suicide, lots of etc). So in a year I hope to be living happily with my husband and finally enjoying a calm time in our lives...but also, running around doing fun and new activities, learning new things, a bit of travel. We already do those things but it will be nice to hopefully stop having HUGE interruptions and crazy stuff going on!

    ETA: physically I hope to be stronger and more agile, maintaining somewhere in the 160-180 range, probably wearing a size 12 ish? Dunno.
