ummmmm.... I want to eat healthier! obviously.. but I am going to cut out refined sugar! That is my goal.
And add twenty minutes a day to my already an hour walk.

My goals for 2009 are:

To walk 300 miles
To drink more water everyday
Not to give in to my chocolate cravings

My weight goals are:
To lose 12 pounds by valentines day
To lose 15 more pounds by april 30th.
To reach my goal by june 8th, just in time to go camping with my in-laws.
To maintain my weight for the rest of the year and ever after.

-62 by Feb 1
-67 by Mar 1
-72 by Apr 1
-77 by May 1

That will put me 7 lbs from goal.
Otherwise, I want to keep up the good work
- daily logging of food/exercise
- 500 cals burned 7x per week
-1300ish cals per day with one cheat meal per week

To reward myself, I've planned to put $10 in savings for clothes each time I lose 1lb. So, by Summer, I should have 250ish for clothes.

I like the $$ idea!!

Wow, I think I need to make a post about my 2009 goals. Maybe tomorrow...anyway, here's the short version:

Fitness Goals:
1. Increase my running mileage from about 15 miles/week to 25.
2. Run at least one 10k.
3. Try trail running.

Other Goals:
1. Find a church
2. Find a literary agent (not sure if this is realistic, but I'm giving it a shot...again)
3. Join and actually attend a book club and writer's group
4. Try something new when given the opportunity - I've joined a local adventure group that does things like rock climbing, white water rafting, etc. So far since I've joined, they haven't gone to do anything, but when they do, so long as I can afford it, I want to go. I don't want to chicken out.

Basically, this year is a year for me. It's the first year for me since I've realized who I am, if that makes sense. I mean, sure as a kid, every day was all about me. I've grown up a lot, done a lot of changing and a lot of self-discovery. I've been through a lot of heartache (and this year will continue that trend) and a lot of stress. This year is about finally being the woman God has always intended that I be.

well hopefully last year was as good for everyone else. lost 60 and quit smoking so this year is time to reflect and see what else i need to accomplish.

1. need to lose 20 lbs of body fat. this should put me at 13~14% body fat range and i think i can do it in the first three months of '09
2. drink more water
3. log everything miles and meals
4. meet Marine Corp yearly minumums for men
3 pull ups
40 crunches in 2 minutes
3 miles in 33 minutes
hopefully the running will come together very soon. I can do 15 minutes of jogging but just not quite there for the whole 30 minutes.

5. i would also like to make the transition to outside jogging VS. treadmill
6. run a 5k for charity just because i can

my goals for 2009 are:

- to lose at least 40 lbs by my birthday, Oct 1st ( i have 77lbs overall to lose)
-Enter a 5K at the end of the year:drinker:

Ride a century ride (100 miles)
lose 30 pounds
drink 64 oz of water a day
Get my foot healed so that I can run again

Good luck with that!!!!

My goals for 2009 are :

Drink atleast 80 oz of water a day.
To lose 25 pounds by March 28th. (I have already lost 8)
To get under 200 pounds by June 1st
To get up to an hour a day on the wii fit, instead of my half hour I do now.

Myy goals are simple:

1) lose 1 lb a week till I'm in the normal bmi
2) cut out sugar and white flour
3) increase my exercise to include a walk in snowshoes everyday
4) log my food faithfully

If I can do those four goals I know I will get where I need to be in 20 weeks which would be around my anniversary. I'm posting this on my fridge because I will pay more attention to it there than in the bathroom, I have scales to intimidate me there .:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

my goals:

get control of my binges
get some form of daily exercise, no matter how small
embrace positive thoughts about myself
reflect on my day
give of myself in the form of volunteering and blogging

losing weight will hopefully be a by-product of these goals.

2009 goals:
1. get off all medication-diabetes,high blood pressure and chol.
2. Get off all refined sugar and white flour products
3. spend each day focused on Me for a change
4. Lose 10 lbs a month! thats a lot and a challenge but I know this is acheivable
5. work up to working out 1-2 hours everyday. Lots of years sitting on my backside so it will be slow going.
6. Get off all diet pop and sugar free foods. Want to to eat more naturally.
7. Use exercise a s a anti-depressant so I don't have to go on Meds for this
9. Be happy and healthy

Hmmmmm, measurable, realistic?
Well, Since I've been at a stand still since Oct., then gained 5 pounds in the past month, uhhhh
1. Lose that 5 I just gained.
2. Get my mind back on track.
3. Lose the last 15 by ..... (thinking out loud..) 4 pounds a month, by May 1st?
4.Try and tone as much as I can.
5. Look past the flaws I can't change and focus on the good body parts that I have changed.
6. Have my size 6 jeans be LOOSE!
7. Look FABULOUS for this summer.

I wanted these all to be my 2008, but, you can only do so much! I've come far, but still have a ways to go and I'm happy with what I have accomplished, I just need to go that extra mile to get where I really want to be.
Good Luck Everyone!
