January Goals

I don't do resolutions.

But I do have certain goals that I'd like to reach in 2006.  I think that it's too easy to sabotage ourselves, though, when we put long-term goals out there in January while we have the whole year to put them off!  So I think I'll set some attainable "monthly" goals for myself.  Right now I only really have two categories that I'm thinking of, and those are weight (of course!) and my job.

 

My January Goals:

     To lose five pounds &/or an inch around my waist.

     To update and jazz-up my resume in preparation for the job hunting I know I'll be doing in a few months.

Weight:  I need to lose more than five pounds, but I think five pounds in a month is a reasonable goal.  I don't do diets well.  They just aren't natural!  But my plan for this week is to do a 40-minute walk at least three times and to use my hertofore-little-used Ab Lounge on the other days of the week.  I will increase my water intake and cut back on the coffee at work.  I will eat smaller portions of whatever I want to eat, but will try to add more fruits and whole grains to my diet.

Now that our main offices have moved to a new building our Body Shop (company gym) is farther away from my office than I want to travel.  But my company will pay up to $30.00 a month towards our membership in a health club of our choice for those of us more than 10 miles away from the company's gym.  I'd been thinking about joining Curves anyway, so I'm going to do that this month.

Okay, that's it.  Those are the two main goals for January.  To be revised if needed!
