In 2014, I want to ...

[sharic]

Not too early!! I love your goals!!

I want a new job! I want to stay with my same company though.
I want to be more organized. I want to remember birthdays, anniversaries, etc and be organized enough to send cards, etc.
I want to make a stronger effort to spend more weekends with my niece and nephew (the closest are 2 hours apart) and I want to spend more time with them, and have them here for fun weekends!

I need to keep checking internal openings.
I need to keep a better calendar and look more to what is coming up, instead of just remembering the day of.
I need to plan at least a weekend with them about once a month or so, and get it on my sister and BIL's calendar.

In 2014 I would like to travel more and put more money into my savings account.

Is it too early for this? I don't care.


* Work on my confidence and really OWN how awesome I am.
* Not settle for anything less than awesome men.
* Get out of the apt more.
* Stop worrying about people that don't care about me.
* Learn a new skill @ work.

How do you plan on accomplishing your goals?

* Find a new hobby or group of friends through a meetup.
* Date less.
* Continue to surround myself with awesome people and work on fostering those friendships.

Honestly, all of this!

I want to get to a place where I am truly happy with my life as is even without a significant other or dating prospects. I'll achieve this by continuing to seek out new sources of single friends as inevitably I will lose them as they get coupled up.

This isn't your fault. I wish you all the best in your recovery. I am so sorry that you are in so much pain and have suffered so much already. I hope once you meet with someone, you can get a better perspective on what needs to happen next:(

Thank you for your kind words. I am getting better and stronger everyday! It has been very difficult and it sucks that the new year is going to start this way. I know this is not my fault. I did not make the doctor mess up the surgery, but I am dealing with all the consequences and it sucks!

- I would like to lose 15 pounds in 2014. I plan to do this by continuing to work out, 4 days a week eat whole foods for lunch and allowing 1 cheat lunch a week, cooking dinner 4 weeknights allowing 1 cheat dinner a week and only having 1 cheat meal on the weekends. Therefore only having 3 cheat meals a week (my average lately has been about 10...oops)

- Save money! I plan to do this by sticking with the above for the most part. The problem I have now is that I buy my groceries and end up not eating them and then going out/ordering in. For lunches, dinners and miscellaneous shopping and entertainment I plan on using the envelope system. Meaning I will have an envelope of cash that is available for these items. I will either use the cash or in the event that I use my credit card I will take the money out and put it aside to pay off the credit card.

- I also plan on completing this book. www.amazon.com/gp/product/1493587439/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

- I would like to meet someone this year. I plan on going BACK on eHarmony and trying that out.

I REALLY want these things for you also. I am confident you will achieve them!

In 2014 I want to:

Buy a home
Get pregnant/have a baby
Get certified to teach group fitness and get a regular gig doing so (I supposed this depends on the timing of the pregnancy thing though?).
I also really need to focus on work and get my shit together. I feel really scatterbrained here lately and need to stop it.

[gault]

Run another few 5k's, and actually run in between training for them. Yes, I train for each 5k, don't judge.

[starrieskies]

[dreamcrisp1]

[Deleted]

-Do well at my new job
-Make new friends and explore the area
-Take my GMAT and apply to schools

-Continue having a good relationship with BF

[lookingup]

- Save $2000 towards my sabbatical in 2015.
- Move into a 1 bedroom.
- Eat more healthfully and exercise more often. Losing weight and feeling/looking better in my clothes would be a bonus… even though I'm already hot.
- Make it as awesome as 2013.

I would like to become ...sturdier. Sometimes I feel so fragile, and I have such a low tolerance for stress. I can be looking for a parking spot, not find one, and butst into tears. I went out on std after my husband died and eventually quit altogether when it was clear I wouldnt go back before that summer. I'd like to go back, and I'm pretty sure they'd have me, but I feel like I cant until I can handle stress more normally.

I'd also like to fit into a size 12. Right now I'm a 14 and sometimes that's tight, and I want to walk more with the dot to get fit and drop a good dress size.

I'd also like to keep up with the housecleaning better, but unless there's some magic pill I can swallow, I don't know how I'll accomplish that. I'm really a terrible housekeeper. There are also a ton of projects, both diy and that I'd need to hire out for, that cannot realistically be started until the house is in generally better order.

I may have said this earlier in this post or it was in another, similar, post -- but I want to be in better touch with my friends who live far away and I dont see, and call at least one a week. I'm going to set up a schedule and put the names and phone numbers on my calendar.

[Chuppathingy]

Finish reaching my goal weight. I've been dieing since the end of April and I'm down 40 out of my 80 pound goal.

Find a new job, preferably in another state.

Move (see above).

Finally finish getting divorced.

Are you a bad-ass baller or a bad ass-baller? Because I would think it would make a difference in your long term plan for 2014!

kevin arnold, I love yours.
mp, yours are wonderful.  You rock!

I have a whole bunch because I like to set detailed goals, but here are the high points:

Talk to or text my best friend (who lives 1800 miles away) every day.
Stick to my monthly budget and get back into the habit of tracking my expenses weekly
Learn how to rock climb outside
Climb at least 5 14ers (A CO mountain that has a summit of 14,000 feet or higher)
Do a sub-6:15 half Ironman
Do a sub-14 Ironman
Be an active member of the local tri club
Write and submit my Ph.D. research proposal
Write and submit my secondary research proposal, or get a job somewhere else
Blog at least once a week (my training blog - link in sig, and I wrote one tonight!)
Start a science blog – write at least twice a month
Make at least one new friend a month
Go to at least one meetup event per week
Stop putting so much effort into dating and just focus on being the best possible me

There are plenty of others, but they're less important/not relevant.  I like lists, and goal-setting.
