Goals

I know I'm a little late, but I wanted to make known my goals (not resolutions - I hate that word) for this year. Some of them are going to be a little harder for me than others.

Keep up my blog
Get to 138 pounds
Take a Yoga class
Plant a small garden with blooming flowers
Read 30 books

Simple. Short. I should be able to accomplish all of this.

Up until this entry, I was writing a blog entry at least every 3 days. I want to continue that pace. This should be a relatively easy one as long as I don't get lazy.

Getting to 138 pounds may not be an option. A couple of months before that total projected weight loss, we may be trying to get pregnant. As long as I'm trying to lose, before that time, I'll be happy. I really could break this goal down into several smaller goals (walking 3 times a week, aerobics once a week, not eating certain foods), but I won't. I don't want to disappoint myself if one or two of the mini-goals don't happen. The overall picture is what counts - weight loss.

Taking a Yoga class should be one of the simple ones, but it's not. Lee, Uncle Tee's friend, motivated me to want to try it out. But I am not one to try something by myself. So I bought a book called "10 Minute Yoga" for 50% off. I'll work on that until someone volunteers to go with me!

Plant a small garden with blooming flowers... so I am about as far away from a greenthumb as you can get. I never wanted to mess with all that anyway. But somehow, this week, after buying myself a potted plant of tulips, I thought that I should try something new. Believe me, this one will be a challenge.

Read 30 books. Ah! My peice of cake. I think that I may read this many in a year already, but I am going to keep track of them this time. I have finished four so far.

Please let me know what your short term (and long term) goals are. I am very interested.
