Default 2008 Plans and goals???

Okay...we all know it's coming...time to make new years resolutions. What is it that you hope that at the end of 2008 you can say you accomplished?? It doesn't have to be weight related completely...just what do you plan to be able to say you accomplished in 2008?

Me?? I definately weight wise want to reach my ultimate goal and hopefully have my belly shrunk enough that i can wear at least a modest 2 peice bathing suit without feeling like i have to suck my gut in. Also, I'd like to be able to get my teeth whitened.

None body image wise??? I really want to try to pay my car and house payments on time and not bounce another check for the whole year!!!

So far...that's as far as i've really gotten on new years resolutions.

I was just thinking about this today!

Weight wise, I would like to lose another 30lbs at least by December 2008. Slow and sure wins the race!! I really want to be into onederland!!

Non-work wise - I want to be happy in my career, with scottish man and be able to live comfortably, not too much to ask!! I want to be 170lbs by my 26th Birthday in February too.

On January 1st, I want to think about my life and what I've acheived and decide that I don't NEED any resolutions. I just want to stay where I'm at.

I never ever ever imagined I'd feel that way, but that is what comes to mind.

Hmm.. 2008

Weight wise- I hope to be at goal by the VERY end of the year! I have 50 some odd pounds to go, and I think that's do-able.

My fitness goal is to walk the 1/2 marathon (speed walk!) in the Niagara Falls Marathon (which is in late October). Gonna DO it.

Not health wise- I'd like to work on saving up some $$ (work on our savings account) .. and pay down our credit cards.

Weight wise : I'd like to be a size 10/12 by Christmas 2008 (currently an 18/20). My ultimate goal is a size 8, but I'm still not sure if I'll get there, considering the three pregnancies and stretching and...yeah...

In other news : I need to have some dental work done. Two roots canals and a few fillings (I don't care what any dentist says, I believe my OB, pregnancy ruins your teeth, lol). Since we'll have dental insurance this year, I need to get up the courage to do it.

Pay off at least one student loan. Hubby had about $70,000 right now - I'd like to pay off at least ONE of them this year!

Get my A+ certification and start on the Cisco certification(s).

I want to be lean and fit. The weight's coming off but my goal isn't just thin, it's fit.

That's it. Everything else in my life is just fine the way it is; I just want to feel better living it.

If I'm lucky enough to finally get pregnant in 2008, some of the goals below may not be relevant, but if not, here goes:

*I'd like to get into the 140s and stay there. That's my super-secret goal. I'd be ok with 150s, and honestly I'm ok where I am, but the 140s would be great.

*I will run two half marathons and one full marathon in 2008, along with various shorter races. The full marathon is the biggie, obviously, because it's something I haven't done yet and it's just a huge undertaking I never thought would be possible for me.

*I will work on paying off my debts, though I know I won't get close to paying off ALL of it.

I'm sure I'll have other goals, but honestly, like Amanda said -- I'm ok where I am for the first time ever. If things are the same at the end of 2008, I'll be quite happy.

I also need to work harder on paying off debt which I've started on, but hope to see more of a dent by this time next year!
Otherwise, just remembering to be happy where I am even if it's not where I ultimately want to be. I'm working on breaking myself of thoughts like: Oh, I can have a new outfit when I lose the weight, etc. (I've been too into the self punishment) and just knowing I deserve it now as well... so that's something I'll continue working on this upcoming year.

If I do well in my diet on december (which I WILL) there will be no need for dieting in 2008. Which is something that really excites me! But my resolutions are:
* Join a gym and get into my fittest shape EVER
* Quit smoking
* Get a raise
* Be promoted
* Make loads of friends
* Enjoy my life
* Take care of my health (which, acording to my 2008 horoscope, is a must!)
* Donate blood
* Teeth fixed
* Get the contract I've been dreaming of for years.
Yay for 2008! My best year, so far

Ok, here's my list.

In 2008 I will:

- Finish and defend my dissertation
- Quit smoking
- Maintain my weight
- Make specific progress with lifting weights and running
- Continue to keep an emphasis on healthy, local, seasonal foods

That should keep me fairly busy.

In 2008 I hope to:

- get to my goal weight and learn to maintain.

- continue to improve healthwise - enough to go back to work.

- get out and meet some new people - something I haven't done since my divorce.

- continue to eat well.

- continue to run and start to weight train.
