in Chit-Chat
It’s that time of the year where I hunker down and begin thinking about the goals for the upcoming year. You have to dream otherwise all you do is merely exist. The first step in achieving your goals is to write them down. Below is my preliminary list:

1. Participate in 10 marathons or half marathons.
2. Read 10 books
3. Find a job that's a blast!
4. Visit my brother and sister in Texas and go to Mexico.
5. Pay off my car.
6. Still looking for that special someone.
7. Maintain my weight of 180.

I’m still trying to finalize the list. Any suggestions? What are you goals for 2013?

    This year I've actually completed 5 runs including a 10k and a half marathon. I'm in pretty good shape now and all I have to do is find 10 marathons/half marathons to run in for next year. I'm thinking of doing one in Monterrey, Mexico. I have a cousin who lives there. I've also read 5 books this year and am on my 6th. I also found a neat job this year but it's temporary and will end in February.

    - I want to reach my initial goal weight (I think it's reasonable in that time period)
    - finish my C25K (I'm taking more than a week for each 'week')
    - do a 5K, running the whole way (I'm aiming for the October Run for the Cure)
    - work on improving body composition so that I'm not just 'skinny fat'

    I like the idea of helping others. I will add that to my list:
    Do at least one good deed by working with an organization such as Habit for Humanity.

    Mine are simple as well.

    1. Find a full time job where they dont degrade me.
    2. Get a new phone...I hate this one...ready to throw if under a train! Cant afford a 600.00 phone and cant afford losing unlimited to get a 200.00 dollar phone.
    3. Get out of debt. We have 4,300 in debt and if we get this apt....we need another loan to move which puts us 6k in debt.hoping income tax return is large so I can get my car legally on the road and pay off one bank loan!
    4. If we dont get to move this year, have to by next.this apt is a fire hazard and landlord wont fix what needs to be.
    5. Be 130 lbs in march by my 21st by the end of march so i can wear a sexy outfit to the casino.
    6. Want to take the 9 hr trip to nashville and try selling my songs....everyone says theyre good...even my husband who isnt shy to tell me i sing like a cow being butchered, lol.
