2008 Fitness and Weight Loss Goals: 6 Month Check-In

6 Mo. Check-In and Revision of 2008 Goals (in red)

2008 Goals

In 2008, I will focus on 2 main areas – Financial (which includes personal business goals) and Physical (weight loss/fitness/health).  My intention is to put the same kind of energy/focus into my financial/business goals as I did my physical goals in 2007 – which was very successful! I will continue to move forward with my physical goals as well, but this is an area that I feel very confident in and have developed very good habits around. (can be somewhat an autopilot now )

Tho, I have the best of intention (and opportunity) I can’t quite seem to focus (find the time?) to work on these business goals – this REALLY needs to change and now! My weight loss/fitness efforts are going great and I can see the finish line here for sure.

Physical:

*To weigh 133 lbs or less by Jan.  1, 2009. (this will be 60 lb loss for 2008, 145 lb total loss)
*On track for this – may decide to do maintenance a bit higher than 133 – will see how I feel – current weight after Q2 is 162

*To continue with my varied and consistent exercise of walking, biking, strength training, ab work, and pilates.
*Doing great here!

*To add different exercise – running, swimming, more leg work – lunges, squats, step
*Decided that running is not really for me – at least at this point. Haven’t been swimming yet. I did create a new strength training routine to do at home – included lunges, squats, step, etc.

*Possibly take a karate or martial arts type class – look into this
*Haven’t done this yet.

2008 is looking good for meeting my ultimate weight loss/fitness goals - you still with me?!
