I just want to get out of debt (I paid off 2 credit cards today!) and grow my nails long since I'm a chronic nail biter! My other goals are to declutter my father in law's home and be more active with my 2 small kids.

Your turn!

    Be a fun active Nana, to get out of debt, to actually go on a vacation with my husband, to enjoy my life, not hide out because I'm too fat!

    I created a vision board last week. The goals on the board includes about three 5K run's this year, a half marathon in Vegas in December, to get out of debt, reach One-derland, buy new clothes in a smaller size.

    Of course get to my goal weight! Beside that....

    I am also a nail biter CHRONIC and want to overcome it for good!

    I want to grow my hair out super long and healthy... below boob length

    Get my face cleared up and religiously wash it twice a day and get glycolic peels to get rid of my scarring.
  • I'm trying to go back to school, and hope to be out of debt by this time next year so my husband and I can buy a house!

    My sister and I wanted to get in our first 5k walk/run. I also want to get rid of the baby fat from my 9yr old that I have been carrying around and get some muscles to show through :)

    Probably let my hair grow out longer and get a tan in my pool this summer. Lots on the agenda! Love it!
  • I'm gonna be putting out a bunch of music this year. On vinyl! Holy crap. Yes, people still dig on vinyl. Especially for the kind of music I'm doing. Old-school funk/soul. You could hear some of it at Kickstarter.com. Just search for "Chris Lujan". That's me.

    This is a big goal for me. It's been too many years since I've put any of my music out there.

    I live in the old farm house I grew up in and it is pretty run down (long story) so really my only goal is to someday get out of here and live in a decent,modern house.

    1. Get out of debt (good for you for paying off 2 credit cards!)

    Very cool tunes! My 5 year old daughter was just dancing to the first song. :) Good luck to you!!!!!
  • Finish my degree! I have a billion reasons for why I dropped out and I'm excited to restart! The only drawback is to have to sit around with a bunch of 19 year olds that think Nike is just a shoe brand! Otherwise it's going to be great.

    Finishing my College Transitions class, but most of all, getting into the Onward Program. It's perfect for me. Only 30+ get in a year, it is full financial aid coverage, they have subsidized housing on campus, and the best childcare in the state. If I don't get in, I will be going to UMA in the fall. Then after that....become a nurse!
  • Skydiving...have always wanted to do it. BUt they have a max weight limit of 250 for a tandem jump, so my first true goal is 245 lbs so I can go skydiving!!!

    My biggest goal is to get my lungs in shape after being a smoker for 15 years. I quit almost 3 years ago. I'm trying to focus more on the being fit part more than the weight loss part. I would also love to sell my house that I'm not even living in, pay off my little credit card debt and get into a bigger house.

    Oh, and I am also trying to beef up my vacation fund.

    1) Career! I've always wanted to be a performer. Singing, acting, dancing, modelling... Unfortunately my confidence hasn't yet quite been there - but I am working on it!

    2) Money! Currently in around £1,000 debt, and within just over 3 months, I shall have paid off about half of it off.

    3) Living... Either finish off my flat, or move. Depends on money/career above.

    1) I would like to run a 5k before I do the Warrior Dash in June.

    2) Complete the Warrior Dash within a decent time and not embarass myself.

    3) Run the 5k at the Air Force Marathon in September.

    4) Get to 25% Body Fat

  • Finish my degrees and get into grad school. Currently working on a BA in History and English Lit. Learn to speak Spanish. Spend some quality time with those I love, seems like with school and work they are the ones that I push off to the side. :bigsmile:

    This year: I want to complete a triathlon, get my purple belt in Kajukenbo, and take up biking on at least a weekly bias as long as the weather permits. I have many other goals that aren't body-related, but those three goals are my priority this year, as I have NEVER made my body a priority. This is my year for my body - nothing else matters more! :wink:

  • 1. Find a second job to supplement my income and rebuild my savings.
    2. Pay off my student loan debt
    3. Get married (I'm engaged, but cannot afford a wedding at this point)
    4. Be able to afford to replace my beloved (but rapidly deteriorating) eleven year old vehicle
    5. Become more adventurous
    6. Be able to afford a house one day

    I love how so many of my goals are related to money! I also have many professional goals as well.
