2008 on it's way here.

I noticed today that I haven't logged on here and wrote anything since October and that is horrible in my blogging life to not do it more frequently. A lot has happened since I last wrote including losing a few family members to a tragic car accident, Christmas just passed, and a million other things. Today I am moved to start blogging again just to chart my progress in life. We are looking 2008 square in the face and that means that I am going to be 28 this year and I have so many things I want to accomplish.

This year there are two main concerns on my mind. They are...weight and money. I don't necessarily mean just losing weight and making money ...I want to manage both. I want to start treating my body much better and start realizing that there is more than today in terms of money. I think that I am going to be learning a lot about health, investments, and things of that nature. There are so many changes that are going to occur in 2008 and there are many things I have to do to rise to the occasion.

I am going to work on things one week at a time and really build myself up in terms of habits and changes. This is going to be hard work but I can already see the main goals and how they will absolutely change my life. First, I wanted to write a few things that I want to work on in the new year. I don't want to call them resolutions because that is the bone I always break. However, I really do want to make some this year. Every year I reach a few.

Goals for 2008: (so far)

1. Lose at least 50 lbs.

2. Go to the gym at least 4 days a week

3. Take two trips somewhere

4. Finish one scrapbook

5. Save as much money as I possibly can

6. Find a new job that I love

7. Finish 2 more semesters of Graduate School with awesome grades

8. Find a way to invest money and act on it

9. Get Hemoglobin A1C checked and get a 7 at the most

10. Pass advance at school

11. Finish up my workshops at school

12. Turn 28 with style..in vegas

13. Keep organized

That's it for now but I am sure there are other things for me to think about in 2008

Most of all, I want to have fun, get educated, be successful, and be better on the other side.

Check in soon.
