Please pretend that this post was done two weeks ago. Thanx.
My first post ever was called Ten Goals for 2010… no, scratch that, I just went back and looked and saw that I wrote one called “A New Weight Loss Blog” first. Damn, what a genius title that was.
Ahem.
In the spirit complete and utter unoriginality, let’s just repeat the exercise. It worked pretty well last time. Although I didn’t complete all of the goals, I did much better than I’ve ever done with yearly goals. I think that I have this blog to thank for that. (And sounds the collective “awwww”)
Let’s take a look at how I did:
1. Debt Control – It’s really pointless to go into the details of this one because I really put no effort into it.
2. Weight – I lost 50lbs! (And sound the collective “motherfucking YEAH!”)
3. Health (Sleep) – While I still have trouble sleeping, I’ve improved exponentially in this area. I might not make my midnight bedtime every night but for the most part I do and am able to get my ass out of bed without flinging myself up at 8:00am.
4. Living Situation – I didn’t move out. I did look at an apartment but it was terrible and I really wasn’t that committed to this one. I am now, though.
5. Make mini monthly and weekly goals – I did this for almost every month and most weeks so let’s call this one a success.
6. School – I started… and then I stopped. The money just wasn’t there at the right times.
7. Music – I worked for a few months with a piano teacher again but I didn’t put enough effort forward here. I think that fear had a lot to do with why I just let this go. I talked to a voice teacher but never actually started singing again.
8. Vanity – I did, in fact, whiten my teeth and maintain my eyebrows. Not only that but I also learned how to make my hair look like slightly less of a hot mess. Can you say flying colors?
9. Travel – I didn’t leave the country or acquire a passport but I did make a few trips to California to see friends and family. That was good enough for me.
10. Job – I definitely completed both parts of this one. I now have a full time job that is much better than what I was doing before.
With the theme of “The Year In Which I Get What I Want,” here are eleven goals for 2011.
- Fitness
- Run a 5K without stopping.
- Be able to do 10 push-ups, badass style, not the girl ones.
- Do exercises that increase my flexibility again.
- Money
- Pay off the old credit card debts and misc debts
- Make and abide by a budget
- School
- Go back, get GPA back up,
- Prepare material for scholarship contests
- Social Life
- Make it a priority to spend time with friends and invest in relationships
- Standing my Ground
- Continue to gain confidence to make my own decisions and not seek approval of others.
- Music
- Start working with a private teacher again for both piano and voice
- Work of Music Theory
- Vanity
- Get underarms and legs waxed (I really hate shaving my underarms, it’s the only place where I get razor burn… it’s just ridiculous.)
- Try Latisse. I already have amazing eyelashes but it would be cool to have even better ones.
- Job
- Get a higher paying position
- Weight Loss
- Lose another 50 lbs
- Health (Non-weight related)
- Fix the Vitamin D and Iron situation
- Get my teeth fixed (long story)

So, what are your goals for this year?
