It's that time of year again. Well, a few days early, but ~
I've thought about it and decided the time was right to have some aggressive goals. Here's what I'll be focusing on for the next year.
Health
- Drop 16 pounds - This will put me 9 pounds under the maximum healthy weight for my height.
- Reduce monthly expenses to 75% of my current income.
This area is a bit difficult to set/monitor since lots of things depend on the schedule of someone else, so I've set more of a financial part to the project.
- Fund 1/2 of the home remodeling account (with current estimates). If I posted how much this would mean, it could make someone choke. (It will take more than the above financial goal to meet this one - *sigh*)
Personal growth/other
There are many items on this plate and many need a bit of research to determine if they can be taken on. So, this one will be broken down into monthly tasks/goals to see which one(s) filter through to "doable."
For now, here's what has made it through the filter:
- run a 5k - Not an easy task at my age after 2 heart surgeries, but I think I can do it.
- spend time on my crafty projects
- spend time exploring the world around me
- learn to crochet
- continue working towards my degree
- take a dance class
- continue decreasing household waste
Someone may have to stay on my rear to move forward on all of this, but...here goes!
Oh, and yes, I still have the "Gifts on the Sly" project going for 2012 and I'll still be working on the new recipes as well...first one coming up soon!
