Goals for 2014

What goals have you set for 2014?  Where do you want to be in your life this time next year?  My goal for 2014 is to finally get to 145 lbs.  I have had this goal for almost 8 years.  I am going to achieve it sometime this year.  I am going to get back to walking for a hour a day like I use to.  I felt so much better when I did.  I know I have other goals and I will list them as I think of them but these two will start me off right for the year.  What are your goals?

My 2014 goals, or at least some of then are:
*Stay back on track and lose the regain.
*Successfully transition from Med-Surge-Telemetry R.N. here in Eagle Pass, Tx. back to my home in Dallas, Tx. and secure a psychiatric R.N. position. (Psychiatric nursing is my passion! Also I am ecstatic to be moving back home after two years of nursing on the border of Texas and Mexico).
*Begin taking classes at UTA to gain my BSN in nursing.
*Be more organized.
*Be present in every moment of every day.
I am sure I have more but these are my top goals!

Goals for 2014... 

1. find out what I am allergic to and what is going on with my body... 

2. lose 10 lbs and get more exercise.

3. organize my house and my office

4. my house related: need a new deck, and paint the trim outside.

 

2014 is all about losing the diet mentality and making my health my #1 priority. Yes that means getting rid of the regained weight and making it to Onderland. I may not see it in 2014 (60 lbs is a daunting amount) but with some baby steps, I'll get there.

So the baby steps are:

#1 Exercise. I'm like Tess, I felt so much better when I was walking an hour a day. The plan for January is 30 minutes a day. February is 45 minutes a day. March will be an hour a day. I imagine that I'll be cleared for the pool and weights by mid January so long as my hand heals according to my time table.

#2 Nutrition. For well over 30 years I've thought of this in terms of diet. I set myself up for failure every single time I take that approach. I need a balanced eating plan that fuels my body, mind and soul. The whole "machine" needs to be properly maintained and fueled. I've dusted off my South Beach books and started looking back through them. It's the plan that my surgeon advised using for long term success following surgery.

#3 Self-Discovery. I'm not sure what else to call this portion. I have sabotaged my weight loss efforts since I was a teenager. It's time to do the dirty, hard work and explore the reason(s) why. Simply saying that my family is overweight and that we all love to cook and eat isn't deep enough. I really believe that identifying why I do the things I do will help me counteract them in the future. Part of this step will involve being on here daily and holding myself accountable. Part will be a weekly WW meeting - I've learned quite a bit there over the years and I enjoy the personal involvement. Another part will be my journaling. There's a blend of joy and sorrow that comes out in those pages.

Looks like at this rate I could make this a 12 step program. I feel positive about this coming year. I know it won't be easy and there will be some bumps in the road but it'll be so worth it!!!!

My goals for 2014 are: 

1) get back on track with my eating and exercise (going to sign up with planet fitness on the 5th)

2) get my house in order! We moved in back in June and there are boxes everywhere!

3) bring a new life into the world 

Goals for 2014

Lose my re-gain, maintain my goal weight as a way of life rather than a struggle, and learn how to focus on life as opposed to always being focused on excess weight

 

I'm sure there will be more, but that's a start.
