Goals for 2012

Stay focused and deliberate with my fitness goals.
Stop thinking about hiking down the Grand Canyon and start to prepare to do it!

BTW, all the posts above inspire me! You're awesome people.

Hiking down the Grand Canyon is one of the adventure trips that we are considering. Good luck!

I did that when I was only 21 and in great shape and still was very sore afterwards! Would love to be able to do it again in my late 40's!

I want to finish the regular schedule of TurboFire with my knees still intact! I'm almost 42, so this could be a tall order.

I also want to add more walking and/or running, but once again, that will depend on my knees. Following what my body tells me to do and what my brain tells me to do are sometimes two different things.

My goals?

By June when I go to Malaysia, to be 160/170lbs (at least 60lbs to go) and look smokin in a bikini - but even if I don't no-one but my best and oldest friend will know me so I won't care!! lol

pinkminy

My goal is to see 56 kg on the scales before i turn 56 years young ...LOL .... I do want to be back to the real me in the range between 56 and 60 permanently and END this horrible yo-yo thing, I have 11 months to get to that goal but I am aiming for a much faster result than that really. Anyway I need to increase my fitness levels and .. oh yea and Clean out some junk Ha Ha I have stuff stored here that belongs to my grown up and left home kids, plus my own junk. And I want to sell our holiday house up the coast , we hardly ever get up there , Oh yea and convince my husband to take time off work for a longer holiday rather than just a the odd quick break.

Mine are going to be silly ones since I've only just started this this month but:

1) To be more confident (not just being confident about how I look but confidence in general since I lack it).
2) Get a full time job and stick with it instead of giving up when I feel bullied by management.
3) Lose 20kg/44lbs
and last but not least...
4) Strength train at least once a week, no point being a weakling if I plan to stand up for myself more.

jennieodwyer

I want to get under 20% BF and lose a pants size. I am getting fairly close to that right now so I really hope I can get it done by my 30th birthday in March. After that my goal is to maintain the lifestyle and find balance without going nuts :laugh:

clarkeje1

robinaddison

Asher213

- Reach my goal weight
- Complete C25K for the first and then do it again to beat my time
- Continue weight training, get lean and toned whilst building some muscle

bonnynblithe04

My goal is to drop another 50 pounds next year. Doesn't sound like much, but I can be sure I'l keep it off at that pace.

Want to lose about 30 ... will turn 40 in 2013 and I want to look fabulous!

I also will learn how to stop listening to the negative voices in my head that keep telling me that I'm not worth real love, success, happiness ... and that learning may involve giving someone an ultimatum.

THIS. I need to have several "crucial confrontations" (at least three) in 2012.

This is a great thread and really got me thinking. I tend to wing it and need to get better about goal-setting.

1. Continue on my weight loss/get fit journey. No real weight goal but I know I would like to get to at least a size 8 jeans. If I get smaller, cool. If not, I'd be happy with that.

2. Continue with C25k and run in a 5k. After I actually complete one, I'll keep working on my speed and/or consider doing Gateway to 8k and then Bridge to 10k.

3. Increase cycling in order to do the Seattle-to-Portland bike ride (200 miles/2 day) event in July.

4. Continue with strength training in order to get to where I am lifting heavy.

5. Be able to do the 20-mile hike into Enchanted Valley carrying all my own gear and having enough oomph left to play and explore while there.

6. Work on building my business to the point where I'm actually contributing a decent amount to our family's income and expand into other income-generating ventures so we have multiple streams of income.

7. Get better at maintaining friendships. I mean, I have friends but I tend to be pretty solitary and lose touch with them due to neglect. I need to get better about regularly reaching out more, inviting people over, and spending more time with others. I'm way too much of a hermit for my own good.

8. Oh, nutrition. While I'm doing pretty good with that now, I need to keep it up but, also, work on finding a larger repertoire of recipes with a larger variety of healthy foods instead of the more limited options I currently tend to eat. Also, try more foods to expand my limited palate.

9. Get better and more consistent with my water intake.

10. Develop my artistic expression side. Not sure how yet. I need to play my piano and clarinet more so I get back to the skill level I used to have. Might also try out for a play and, even if I don't get a part, participate somehow with sets, costumes, make-up, whatever. Would also like to work on my photography skills and/or take a drawing or painting class.

Figured I might as well work on coming up with 10 good ones!
