*Year Review of 2007 Goals (written Jan 1, 2008)
*9 month Check-in/Revision in blue
*6 month Check-in/Revision in red

In 2007, I will focus on 2 main areas – Physical (weight loss/fitness/health) and Financial (which included personal business goals)

Tho I will revise my weight loss goal for the year, I feel that this is an area of my life that is going very well. I’m feeling fit, strong and unstoppable! 🙂 I know that I will reach my ultimate goal and am not discouraged that it may take a bit longer than 1 year.

For the second half of 2007, I intend to continue working on this goal while pouring the same kind of initial intensity (as with my fitness goals), into the area of Finance/Business.

It has been a struggle for me to really get going with my financial/business goals. My intention is to be more focused on this in Q4-to have a system in place and at least a few sites up going into 2008. I would like to start 2008 with the same intensity towards my financial/business goals as I had at the beginning of 2007 with my Fitness/Weight Loss goals.

2007 Review:

I could not be more happy writing this today…thinking of how much my life has changed this past year. Being home for Christmas this last week was a wonderful and enlightening experience. Not only did I feel SO much better about myself physically, but I had more energy and desire to do things than I’ve had in the past. It really makes me realize how much of an impact the weight loss has in my life – on a mental level as well as physical.

The main focus did continue to be weight loss with the knowledge that the same amount of focus would be directed towards business/financial goals in 2008.

Physical:

• To weigh 150 lbs or less by Jan. 1, 2008 (this will be 128 lb loss) – starting weight is 278
  *Revised: to weigh 178 or less by Jan. 1, 2008 (this will be 100 lb loss)
  *Revised: to weigh 193 or less by Jan. 1, 2008 (this will be 85 lb loss)

  *2007 Review: Jan 1 weight = 193! (actually 192.6-calling it 193) WooHoo! Success!!! In 2007 I lost 85 lbs!!!

  
  
  

• To have a varied, consistent exercise routine that includes: walking, swimming, aerobic dvd workouts, pilates, strength training, biking, etc.*2007 Review:*Update: this goal has been and will continu to be accomplished. My current exercise routine includes: walking, biking, pilates, strength training and ab work. I would like to add some swimming before the end of the year.
  

  *2007 Review:
  My current exercise program includes walking, biking, pilates, strength training, abs and I’ve just discovered that I can run! 😉

• To have normal/stable blood pressure and to be off medication
  Update: last blood pressure check was great…medication/weight loss (I hope it’s due to the weight loss) 😉 seem to be working!
  Update: If blood pressure is good Oct 2, Dr will take me off the 1 remaining medication and monitor for a few months
  

  *As of a few months ago, I am completely off blood pressure medication! HUGE success!

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 ) 😉

Physical:

• To weigh 133 lbs or less by Jan. 1, 2009 (this will be 60 lb loss for 2008, 145 lb total loss)
• To continue with my varied and consistent exercise of walking, biking, strength training, ab work and pilates
• To add different exercise – running, swimming, more leg work – lunges, squats, step, stairs, etc
• To possibly take a karate or martial arts type class – look into this

WooHoo! Rock-n-Roll in 2008 – the projected year of completion for my weight loss goal! 😉
