2010 Goals

So, quite a bit of the month of January (well, all of it really) was spent pondering my goals and envisioning what I want for my life this year.  This is what I have come up with.  I’ll be revisiting this list often in the coming month to see how things are stacking up and making adjustments. Some of this stuff is quite ambitious, some is quite basic.  Let me know what you think.

Family –  Wife and Mother

• Budget our income with the end goal of spending our money mindfully. (There are several individual goals tied into this, but we want to be sure that our money is going to those things that matter to us and not to feeding the corporatism juggernaut.) 
• Get the whole family living the Primal/Paleo way.
• Plant an herb and vegetable garden to give my family wholesome food.
• Get this house done!  
• Get rid of the TV completely (right now we watch movies in the family room, but I want it gone!)
• Hand-make all the Christmas gifts.

Note:  This list is quite a bit more extensive than what you see here, but not for public consumption. These are the few that I thought general enough for this format.  The others I may talk about eventually, or maybe not.

Athlete – Crossfitter

• Log my food intake and workouts daily.
• Drink a minimum of 96 – 128 ounces of water daily (This is a hard one for me!)
• Use this year to prepare for the 2011 CrossFit Sectionals
• 300 Fight Gone Bad
• 5 Muscle-ups
• 40 Kipping Pull-ups
• Sub 5:00 Fran
• 12% Body fat
• 100 % Paleo nutrition (and this one extends to my whole family!)
• Get in bed by 9:00 PM each night
• Practice virtuosity

Coach – Trainer and Businesswoman

• Complete my prerequisites for entering the M.S. program for Exercise Science
• Continue to educate myself in all aspects of business excellence and personal development that will help me make my business and training better.
• Begin using this blog to write about crossfit, health, nutrition, fitness, etc.
• Harness digital media.
• Get out there and network with the rest of the CrossFit community! Atlanta is a great city for CF!

Christian – The most important one!

• Pray daily
• Say the Rosary daily
• Bible study on Sundays (yes, Catholics do read the Bible)
• Study Catholic doctrine and learn what it really means to be a Roman Catholic, and why.
• Become more active in my parish.
• Define my vocation as a mother and wife
• Learn to integrate my faith into everything that I do.
• Put God at the forefront of my life in all, and offer Him my best with all my actions.

I did want to add that I know it is strange that I am posting the goals for the new year at the end of January, but I have always found it difficult to set goals in December with the holidays raging around me.  I also find it difficult to implement those goals if there is a lag period. Change comes easier if I can just jump into it and not over think the approach. I suffer from a tendency to live in the future instead of the present.  That’s another thing I am working on this year.
