2008 Fitness and Weight Loss Goals

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 ) πŸ˜‰

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! πŸ˜‰

Pics from Wrightsville Beach Bike Ride

I thought it would be fun to post some pics from my favorite ride to Wrightsville Beach. When I ride there and then go from one end to the other it is just over 30 miles and a GREAT ride! These were taken yesterday.

Airlie Rd – just getting ready to see some water!

Hope these pics give you an idea of why I love this ride so much! πŸ˜‰ It’s really beautiful and inspiring to be out here on my bike when the weather is great – can hardly realize that you’ve ridden 30+ mile which is a bonus….thanks for letting me share this with you.
