2009 Fitness and Weight Loss Goals: 1 Year Check-In

Year Review of 2009 Goals (in purple)

6 Mo. Check-In and Revision of 2009 Goals (in red)

In 2009, I will focus on Financial and Business goals with a secondary focus on achieving my ultimate weight loss goal.

I must admit that I have been struggling to get off the ground with my business and financial goals. I am finally this month starting to see some momentum and am determined to make the next 6 months a huge success with business goals.

Wow, so much has happened and I realize now that I did not do a 9 month check-in. Financial/Business areas have totally consumed me a bit now as I lost my job back in Sept. 2010 is going to be ALL about creating this business for myself once and for all!

Physical:

• To weigh 138 lbs or less by Jan.  1, 2010. (this will be 20 lb loss for 2009, 140 lb total loss) Ultimate weight ideal could be between 120 and 140 lbs. Will see how I feel as I continue to lose.
  *Did get a bit off track with this after trips to Ireland, Midwest and Florida – still aiming for 138, but may need to revise as I’m currently in the low 160’s.
  *Nope - ending the year at 168 which is 10 lbs + from this time last year.
• To continue with my varied and consistent exercise of walking, biking, strength training, ab work, and pilates – be conscious of a balance here now with time spent daily exercising vs. time needed/spent on personal business goals – may cut back here a bit.
  *Have a good rhythm going with this – going to throw some Jillian in there starting July!
  *For the most part exercise has been strong and steady - an achievement I am proud of for sure!

2009 is definitely going to be the year of completion for my weight loss goal! I can’t wait to get to maintenance and enjoy being at a healthy weight for many years to come! I suspect I will reach the goal before the end of the year and some of the reports this year will deal with maintenance and issues that I come across while working to maintain a healthy weight and continue with my exercise plan and healthy eating.

I’m not going to be too down on myself about where I’m at currently. Like the whole weight loss journey, this year has been so much about learning and growing. I don’t regret my 3.5 months away in Ireland and all in all it really wasnt there that I struggled with weight gain. It’s a process…I will get there and so will you!! 

I am actually 10 lbs up from where I was last year BUT I am OK! SO much has happened and I feel so much better physically that I refuse to be down about this! I am turning 40 (Jan 7) as a new woman - looking at a bright future! 2010 will be the year and I am serious about that!

I also want to note how much I have enjoyed building the Celebrate Weight Loss Twitter/FaceBook/Forum community - you all are amazing and a huge source of support for me! I hope that I can be that for you as well! This is a big goal for 2010 - let’s grow this community together!

2010 Fitness and Weight Loss Goals

In 2010, I will focus on Financial and Business goals with a secondary focus on achieving my ultimate weight loss goal. (BIG business goal is to be mobile)

Physical:

• To weigh 138 lbs or less by Jan.  1, 2011. (this will be 40 lb loss for 2010, 140 lb total loss) Ultimate weight ideal could be between 120 and 140 lbs. Will see how I feel as I continue to lose. (current weight is 178 lbs) (I think this last/Vegas 10 lbs will come off fast and I think I will try to hit goal 6-9 months with maintenance for the rest of 2010)
• To continue with my varied and consistent exercise. I am ready to hit this goal weight in 2010!

OK, I know that I said this last year BUT I am not beating myself up for basically having the same goal for 2010. A lot of “life happened” last year and all in all, I feel that I’ve handled it pretty well in terms of being healthy. I also traveled a lot in 2009 AND felt great in my body while doing so! 2010 is definitely going to be the year of completion for my weight loss goal! I suspect I will reach the goal before the end of the year (will aim for 6-9 months) and some of the reports this year will deal with maintenance and issues that I come across while working to maintain a healthy weight and continue with my exercise plan and healthy eating.

Are you ready? Have you set your goals?
