2008 Goals

Well as some of my faithful readers (or should I say reader) will remember that back in January I put forth 5 goals for the year 2008. Here, for better or for worse is where I am today more then half way though the year.

Get down to 200 pounds.
Well this one is not going to be happening. Although I am happy to report that when I wrote the blog back in January I was 281 and now I am 275 so that’s like 6 pounds, or a pound a month.

So I have decided to reevaluate my goal to getting down to 250. I think that is a little more realistic. With me not traveling as much and being home a lot more, I am going to establish a routine of eating right and hitting the gym. I figure 25 pounds by December is a reasonable number. Ill keep you updated.

Why the sudden interest in my weight loss? Well it’s always on my mind but a post from a favorite blog of mine had posed a blog CITIZENDANGERX about his goals of getting into shape. His blog is open and frank, he even offers up a picture of his current appearance.

Get my floors done.
Well this is still a possibility, the only thing holding me up is my own procrastination. All I have to do is make a phone call and get the process started. This is still doable.

Spend a week in London.
This one I did accomplish! I spent a week in London and it was spectacular! I can’t wait to go back!

Paint and decorate my walls.
Again the only thing stopping me is my own procrastination. All I need to do is get a bucket of paint and a drop cloth.

Pay off my credit card.
This one is going to be more difficult, looking back I don’t think this was a reasonable goal to get done in just one year. But have cut down on my spending and am slowly chipping away at the debt.

Me 7/24/2008

View from my dinner table.

Great view and so peaceful, except for all the damn kids.

I really shouldn't

I am soposed to be watching what I eat, how many ww points you think this is

It's everywhere you want to be

If you remember to bring it! So i am on my way to the airport to fly to Minnesota and realise i forgot my debit card at home! So now i am freaking out just a little. I had gotten 20 bucks back from my last trip to Wal Mart and that's all i have on me. Luckily this is a really short trip, only 3 days. I guess i should be able to make the 20 last, right? I mean i still have my corporate card so i am not totally without money.

I am sure it will be fine :)

Duh, you think?

Taken at the Cincinnati airport, it says 'Yield to Aircraft'. Lets see a golf cart pulling my bag vs. a 767, who will win?
