What Are Your Goals For 2009?

Hello everyone, and Happy New Year!

Just curious, what are your goals for 2009? I'm not going to call them resolutions, that seems to be a jinx! A wise man once said it's better to aim for something and miss it than aim for nothing and hit it! So...what are you aiming for this year?

My most immediate goal is to hit my goal weight by one year out, which will be May 29, 2009. I am seven months out now and have lost 114 lbs., which I'm absolutely thrilled about! I want to lose 70 more lbs., and have five months to do it. I stick with the program (well, most of the time!). I need to increase my exercise as I'm not consistent enough in that department, and I know that will help me reach my goal. I will be working lots of hours in the next 3-4 months, so I'm going to take my dumbbells to work with me and use my lunch hour to try to keep fit. It's not rocket science, I lose much faster when I'm exercising regularly, so that's what I need to do to reach  my goal.

So how about you? What are you aiming for in 2009?

One of my WLS friends e-mailed her goals this morning and really got me to thinking.  I wrote her these things.....

I want to get around 15 lbs off and keep it off.  I want to eat less and eat right so my tummy doesn't hurt so much! 

I want to save more.  Not spend, spend, spend.  I want to downsize my possessions.  Seems like they possess me instead of me possessing them!

I want to be healthy this year.  I want to exercise more.  I've been going to the gym again even when it hurts.  I think it is helping me both physically and mentally. 

Also I want to go to the support groups.  I want to make a difference in someone else's life. 

And most of all, I want to worship God better in my every day life.  Sometimes I put Him in last place when all thing would be better if I put Him first!

Many Blessings in the New Year to y'all.....Lois K.

I am aiming for-

Being more physically fit, and am going to a trainer to do just that. I made a commitment to myself to do it, and enjoy getting my exercise in. It helps me emotionally as well as physically.

I want to loose more weight, since the meds. wrong choices ,& changes/challenges I have gone thru have put weight back on me this year.

To spend time with hubby enjoying the beauty God has given us, traveling when we can. I hope we can do more of this in 2009, with friends & family.


Continue in my studies of the Bible and grow closer to the person God made me to be. I want others to see Jesus in me.

To continue to grow my relationship with my family into one of friend to friend, mentoring and not meddling. I just love that I can sit back and see my daughters florish into beautiful women, & be in a differnat role model in their lives. .

To continue to support others emotionally as they go thru their challenges, sharing from my experiences and offering hope. I want to go to more support groups, & continue to learn as well as grow. My OH family mean so much to me, and making new friends /family brings me such joy!!!!!
