Default New Year, New You: Promises for 2009

hello everyone!

i was thinking about 2008 and how i have accomplished so much but not necessarily everything i wanted to. and that's okay. life is full of victories and defeats and its the defeats that make you stronger.

with that being said i would like to make my goals for 2009 public in order to keep me accountable and make them more real and attainable to me. so i am going to post my goals and aspirations for 2009 and i hope you will too.

hopefully this can help us 20-somethings know a little more about each other than our weight loss goals because we all are soooo much more than our weight loss journeys.

to everyone and I hope to share 2009's triumphs with all of you!


Goals for 2009



1. Work on my personal relationship with Christ
2. Study Hard and get A's in my last 6 classes.
3. Graduate!!! (May 16, 2009)
4.Enjoy my life, travel, spend time with family and friends without the what ifs and shoulda woulda coulda's
5. Make healthy, balanced choices(ie: exercise, food)
6. Reach my weight loss goal and maintain
7. Help my mother move out of her house
8. Take the LSAT and apply for Law School

My # 1 goal for '09 is to be as good to myself as I have been this year. There is some room for improvement, but, I am thrilled with the way I live now.

Love this forum! I haven't written out my goals yet! Now is the perfect time!
1. Make goal weight preferably before summer.
2. Maintain goal weight!
3. Be happy and healthy!
If I make many more, I am afraid I won't keep them!
