I don't make resolutions, I make goals and since it's about that time I was interested to see what some of you would like to accomplish this year.

I myself would like to finish my weight loss by the end of April and run my FIRST 5k! Those are my only two IMPORTANT goals. I'd also like to be back among the earning enough money to support my daughter and myself.

    My second last New Year Resolution that I did was: lose 15 kg within that year, from 90kg down to 75kg. Due to medecine I put on 15kg within the first 3 months, that got me up to 105kg. I put on exactly the amount I wanted to lose, and wasn't able to lose anything anymore that year. It took years to change something about this.
    My last Resolution was exactly a year later: to not make any more New Year Resolutions EVER! And I stick to this till today! :laugh:

    I certainly do have wishes and hopes and goals for the new year, but they won't be different than those in the "old" year! I don't set them on a specific date like New Year anymore, rather on days that are special to me and me only.

    So, next summer I want to be 90 kgs and in summer 2012 I'd like to be 70 kgs, but that second goal is sooooo far away, that I don't work on it yet. I think that if I had that goal in mind, I'd give up, as it's just too big a change.

    My goals are to reach 155 lb (or lower) by late Febuary I've got 6 lbs to go but thsi is the holiday season so we'll see. I've want to be under a BMI of 30 by the time I have my yearly physical. A BMI of 30 or greater I have to 6 months check up to see how I'm doing.

    Another one of my goals is to finish my associates degree and see what I can do with my education. I wouldn't mind finding a job closer to my degree.

    I'd like
    -to be at my goal weight by this year end and maintain it next year
    -have my son get serious about school so I can stop being a screaming idiot

    I resolve
    -to stop screaming/yelling at my son all the time about school. It's not helping
    -to spend less time on the computer and get some of my projects finished around the house

    My biggest hope is that my son comes through his surgery (this Friday) and recovery in great health.

    Officially begin training for a Half Marathon in April! The biggest undertaking I've ever attempted as a New Years resolution in my life! But I'm game! I'm ready! :o)

    I don't really like to make resolutions, because I think that the new year is just a number. But since certain things will be happening in that year, I can make some things I'd like to accomplish (mainly, before I'm done with college! because after that I have no idea what's happening in my life!)

    So my bucket list before I graduate:
    1. Get to my goal weight, be completely "IN" on my exercise and eating habits, and complete my 10K in may in less than an hour. Complete Insanity (Jan. 22)
    2. Get all A's my last semester ( I know, ambitious! lol! I've always been off by one every semester and ended up getting a B. the last sem - I want that 4.0)
    3. Go skydiving again!
    4. Make a new friend (I know this seems odd. but I have so many good friends but I always settle into the same group and especially going to the same school for awhile and everything)
    5. Learn enough Swedish to carry on a conversation - I would be satisfied with a simple conversation. I'm taking a class next semester (not through university)
    6. Sell my house... that would be a good thing
    7. UNDIE RUN 2011!!! Hahaha so stoked for it!

    My major goal is to keep up my new healthy lifestyle and continue to get in better shape. Beyond that, once I get to a weight I'm happy with (160-170 lbs range), I want to start to work on building muscle and toning.

    Not much beyond that except to continue to live my life to be as happy as possible regardless of what life sends my way. :-)
