What is a resolution? A resolve or determination: to make a firm resolution to do something.

My personal belief is that requires short term and long term goals.

Winning $50,000 for my transformation took many short term goals.

I have always been an all or nothing person which is why I never have done well with New Year’s Resolutions. I would set these unbelievable lofty goals, all starry-eyed like a kitten on crank , ready to conquer everything that had ever held me back!!!

The problem with that thinking was once I failed at any portion of my “Resolution”, I felt as if I had failed “completely”, which always led me down a path of personal destruction, further and further from my ultimate goals. I never broke it down to a level that was achievable.

The New Year brings with it a great opportunity to look over the past year and take pride in what we have done well and get real about the improvements we still need to make.

Your “short-term and long-term” periods may be very different from someone else’s. Maybe my short-term goal is a 24 hour period while yours is a month.

That’s not important. What is important is establishing specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-targeted objectives.

That’s what this thread is about. Helping each other establish and reach our short and long term goals. Your goals may inspire others to take that first step in establishing or re-establishing theirs.

Definitely going to have to go out and start the car for it to run a while before heading out this morning. I dont have to be to work til 10 so maybe the sun will peek out for a bit?

My goals for this work week are pretty simple. Back to clean eating, so its oatmeal for breakfast, snacks packed, chili for lunch and since I will be getting home late, I'll get my dinner in before leaving the office.

Concentrating on sculpting and toning these coming months. Must get my bikini body back before vacation! Got a bit soft this winter.

Just a quick run by here ... running late .... VERY cold out so warming up the car before I drive to work. UGH!!!

Everyone have a safe and Happy Start to your new year!

Great day for a clean start ..... Although I did miss out on most of the sweet potato chips a few were salvaged so here is how the day went:

Poached Eggs
Avocado

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Sweet Potato Chips

Peach & Pineapple Salsa
Zuchini Slices

Lean Beef
Lite Cheese
Low Fat Sour Cream
Low Fat Ranch Dressing
Lettuce

Sugar Free Cocoa

Hi Audrey! Just received word of your new thread, so thought I would stop by and chime in.

I'm not one that does New Year's Resolution, because I feel like why wait till the New Year to set goals? Just make it happen and incorporate it in your life -- at any time. So I've told myself that and I live by it.

I have set small, attainable goals for myself, so as not to overwhelm me with the bigger picture. So far, it is working wonders. I hold myself accountable each week, and each week I must check in and compare notes from my previous week. I started doing this in mid-December, and have dropped 7 lbs to boot!

2010 is definitely going to be a year of change for me, and I can't wait to see what transpires in the process. Thanks for walking with me through this journey!!

Love ya!!

Monie

Monie .... Basically what I am saying is I can easily "paralyze" myself into doing nothing when I focus only on the long term.

YAY!!!!! Kevin!!! Thought it was time to start something new and fresh for the new year.

"New" is good. I'll join you over here if you don't mind. I know you don't.

Hi Audrey,

I found you too. Unfortunately, my workouts have been kinda sporatic, however between skiing, dancing and running up and down the stairs at work, I'm still relatively lean and mean. Just need to tighten up the middle section a bit and quit eating all the leftovers from the holiday parties.

I'll try to be back more often.

Shouts out to Monie, Kevin and Lizzie.

Joe

Whoo Hooo Peeps are gathering ...........
