Hey guys! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and is enjoying the holiday season! I was thinking about goals, what I want to accomplish, and of course, with New Year's just around the corner, resolutions! I never really made any before, especially weight loss ones, because I just knew it wouldn't work. But with this awesome new tool in my possession, I decided I should since I know it'll happen!

Here are my resolutions/goals, both weight and non-weight related:

-Achieve onederland by my birthday in August. I figured 48 pounds in 8.5 months is doable.

-To be considered a "hot geek." I love video games, superheroes, cartoons/anime, anything geeky!

-Go to New Orleans this summer. My friend and I have been saving up so this is a huge possibility.

-Six Flags is calling my name and I want to be able to ride roller coasters without embarrassing myself trying to squeeze into a ride or to go to the Water park without feeling self-concious and having to wear a t-shirt and shorts.

-Properly clean out the trunk of my car!

-This is an evil one. I want to be able send a picture of me to my cheating ex-boyfriend with the caption, "If only you knew what you would be losing."

-Study abroad. I was offered before, but the places I could have gone (amazing places!) were, well, for a lack of a better term, "skinny countries." I knew if I went, I'd be perpetuating the stereotype of the "typical fat American." Being shy doesn't help, either.

-Graduate with my Bachelor's in Art and Design.

What are your goals and resolutions for the upcoming year? They can pertain to weight loss, NSVs, or anything! I'd love to hear some.

I'll play.

-I want to reach Onderland by my Surgiversary in August. I'm at 281 today and that gives me more than 8 months to get there.

-I, too, want to send a sexy pic to an ex. If that's evil, so be it. LOL

-Hopefully, I'm buying a house in the next few days. I'd like to have it paid off by June. This IS do-able, if I'm disciplined with my moolah.

-C25K. I want to at least walk a 5k this spring. I'd like to run at least one by the end of the year.

-I'm working on planning a family reunion this summer in Kentucky with my cousin. Since I haven't seen many of my cousins in years, this one is very important to me!

That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure I'll come up with some more.

Exercise on a consistent basis and complete a 5k.

I'd like to get my own office and increase my client list. Lose the last 25 lbs. and exercise on a daily basis.... walking, gym,

Reach my goal weight and maintain (within a 5 lb. window either side) throughout the year.

Continue my exercise program.

Do not succumb to alcohol addiction now that I can't eat as much.

Lynda

Work on having a family game night once a week. No tvs, no phones

Get a job

Lose these last 15 lbs and then tone up and start saving for plastic surgery!!

Complete a 5k

These are great lists. They helped me to think about mine...

• Reach goal by losing these last 12 pounds
  
• Walk at least 4 days a week
  
• Regain and tone my lost muscles
  
• Get a new hair style
  
• Get a new wardrobe
  
• Get married to the love of my life
  
• Become a step-mom to four little boys
  
• Travel to Peru for a two week honeymoon
  
• Hike around Machu Pichu without feeling overly tired
  
• Continue to pursue my art career
  

Here's to an amazing 2012 for all of us!!!

Here are some of mine.

- Continue this journey, reach my goal by 1/2 way through the year May-Jul (May might be a bit of a stretch but I like the challenge.)

- Consider myself a healthy sexy beast...still a bit weird to actually think about in reality

- Surround myself with positive influences

- Enjoy my long service leave break from work to the maximum (Aug - Nov)

- Run around New Orleans during Mardi Gras having an AWESOME time. (Feb)

- Continue to exercise, start running for distances rather than 3 minute bursts

- Love love love love in whatever form that comes in.
