I don’t think I have ever written out a list of my goals for the upcoming year. I have realized if I write out to-do lists I have a better time sticking to them. Just like when I write out my training calendar for running, I do a better time sticking to the schedule and getting my butt out the door. I recently started tracking my calories (because I have gained 20 lbs, but we’ll save that for a different time) and I have been sticking to my daily calorie goal. The fact that I have to own up to it – even if it is just some random website – pushes me to keep to my goal.
Anyway……
Time to get ready for 2012:
- Finalize the divorce
- Pay off my credit card (s)
- Open my own savings account (even if it’s only with $25)
- Start contributing to my 401k again
- Run a half marathon by May
- Run the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon in October
- Start using my camera more
- Enlarge and frame 5 of my pictures for my house
- Paint my bedroom
- Go water skiing (it’s been 4 years)
- Take a cooking class
- Take the kids camping
- Enroll the kids in a sport and art class
- Get my library card
- Go the Milwaukee Public Museum by myself
- Treat myself to an entire day at the spa. (well, after I get a job)
- Attend a fundraiser/ball/gala for one of my favorite charities
- Take a sailing lesson
- Go to New York for a weekend (that might be pushing it but I sure do miss it!)
- See a show in Chicago
Whew, I think that is a good list.
What are your goals for 2012?
