    Thanks :smile:

    I did quite well learning Japanese last year but once we got back from there, i kinda gave up... Really should get back into it but got to find motivation to do it again. As long i can re-learn the basics for a traveller (which is quite alot due to the travel system) then im happy to say ive completed that goal.

    French is also a good one to learn, i struggled abit though with the masculine and feminine aspect of it but youve got to be interested in it if you want to get your head around it =).

    I do have quite high goals dont i? :laugh:. There all do-able so gotta go for it! xxx

    No no..........the thread has just begun! Remember your time is not everyones time. I am just rolling out of bed, others are just rolling in!

    Sometimes you need to bump a few times to get attention on a thread. Once it gets a few hits, it will get rolling. I find MFP peeps to be very goal oriented for the most part.

    Ok here is AWTY the poster!1

    I have to rethink all my dreams right now, as I am going thru huge life changes.

    1. Learn how not to allow people to control my feelings and self worth
    2. Pay down my debt
    3. Stop ordering carry out food, and cook for myself. I cooked for my family and husband, I am worth cooking for too!
    4. Take care of my body. My weight is going up, it needs to go DOWN
    5. Be able to do 20 push ups in a row
    6. Complete C25K (beginning today)
    7. Continue to learn how to let others take care of themselves.
    8. Be competent at my job (and maybe spelling :laugh: did I spell that right??:blushing: )

    Thanks for the thread. Made me really think!:flowerforyou:

    I feel more tuned in to my hopes and dreams now that I am conquering my weight!
    1. Run a half marathon before I'm 40
    2. Take a Burlesque Class
    3. Go to the beach this summer and not hide up on the shore so people won't notice how fat I am.


    I think I could go on and on, but I might start to sound shallow:)

    Thanks for starting this thread!

    I don't really have the same hopes or dreams today that I would have next week because of the amount of time I spend operating in the present moment. I usually think "I want to do this" and then I do it within a short time-frame. If I haven't done it within that short time-frame, the dream begins to disappear.

    The only hope I have that remains constant to me is that I raise my sons to be capable, intelligent, free-thinking, and independent men.

    I wouldn't mind publishing a novel someday, but don't dream about it. I'm convinced that I will get that done.
