2008 Fitness and Weight Loss Goals

December 31, 2007 by Paula Leave a Comment

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! 😉
