2008 goals and hopes


Ok, so here’s my obligatory 2008 list of not really resolutions, but goals:

  • responsible spending: I really need to take control of my spending habits. For the next 90 days when I want to buy something non-essential I will instead put it on a list that I will revisit at the end of the 90 days.
  • exercise and diet: get back into running and do WW Core just to get me back into eating right. I have signed up for an 8 week 5K class (starts Monday!) so I’m hoping basically to just always be taking a running class for the rest of the year. I would really, really like to lose 20-40 lbs, but I’m not going to carve that in stone or anything since I think the way I feel when running is what I’m really after regardless if I lose weight or not.
  • garden: I will have a garden this year, I will set aside 2-5 days over the next 3 months to work on the front bed (weed, prep, etc.); clean up existing plants; and select (and order if needed) plants for spring. I will concentrate on veggies and herbs and forgo the pretty, pretty flowers for now.
  • private
  • do something creative: Take a photo, knit, write, etc. I want to tap into my creative side more this year. I would really like to start a regular writing habit this year and REALLY participate in NaNoWriMo this year.
  • Figure out my dream business/job: and really start working toward the idea of making whatever it is a reality (cooking classes, GIA certification, or law school).

    • And of course I want to be a good pet mom, and take care of my belongings (car and home) in a fairly regular fashion, and get my name changed officially to my married name. That’s quite a list. I’ll try to do monthly updates on where I stand on these goals.
