- Anyone have new goals for the New Year?

[Guest guest]

Excellent plan, ! I have general goals for the

year, but I think the only way I'll achieve them is to

do action items each month (which I failed to do last

year!) - like what you're doing. I need to come up

with a January plan. So far here's what I intend to

do for January:

1. Start using my new Fitness Journal on a daily

basis.

2. Eat a min of 2 fruits, 2 veggies and drink a min.

of 40 oz of water each day.

3. Research personal training certifications and

decide which to pursue, if any at this point.

4. Research edutional opportunities for my " day " job

to make me more marketable and decide what, if

anything, to pursue. (right now I'm sort of in a

quandry, my job is fine so long as I can continue to

telecommute, but it is a " political " job and there

will be management changes in 2007 - so I need to be

prepared if the new management isn't going to go for

the telecommuting option)

5. Get a new home computer or at least take some steps

so I can update my resume. I have my laptop for work,

but I probably shouldn't have my resume sitting there!

6. Get yoga or another relaxation type workout in 5

days a week for a min of 10-20 min.

7. Take some " breathing " time each day for 10-20 min

to become more focused, centered and stress-proof.

8. Research pre-schools for my daughter for next fall

and decide on enrollment.

9. Potty training! (I was actually thinking of doing a

daring experiment this weekend - let my DD run around

naked - she does use the potty if she is naked before

her bath time.... this could be a disaster in the

making or a great success!)

10. File away paperwork once a month (on-going) plan

is to do it the last weekend of the month so I don't

have 6 months to do at once which ends up eatng a

whole afternoon.

11. Declutter one room at a time (on-going) - for

January I will get rid of duplicate exercise videos

(either through trades, SASEs or donations) and other

stuff! (be on the lookout for a post in January

listing my items!)

I think that should hold me! :>

Would anyone like to participate in a check-in at the

start of each month where we post our monthly goals,

both personal and fitness-related?
