i typically don’t make new year’s resolutions. this year i wanted to get serious about a few things, but instead of resolutions i am making some goals. here’s a list that you can help me out with through prayer and holding me accountable..
- weight loss. i joined weight watchers (!) and have been doing well with it. it takes some getting used to, but i think it’s a sane way to diet. my goal is to get down to 220ish by the end of this calendar year.
- exercise at least 3x/wk. running, cycling, gym, whatever. i just need more activity.
- follow my youversion.com bible reading plan every day. this will take me through the entire OT once and through the NT twice throughout the year
- finish my masters degree
- get my LEED AP accreditation
- step up my guitar and bass playing
- get my jeep cj5 fixed up so i can take ricky on some trips in the woods
- have a tea party with Rachel as often as she wants
- videotape the kids more often
- take more photos
- take my idea for an iPhone app from my head to reality
- spend more time with the kids when school is done
- take Kristy out on more dates
- remodel our dining room
- get my shop cleaned out and finish setting it up
- get some yard work done
that’s about it. seems like a lot, but if i bite it off in small chunks i think i can make it all happen. the only one that scares me is the weight loss. i’m going to do my best, which is all i can do. it’s hard to tell how much weight i will really lose. oh yeah, i’m down 1.5lb since i started WW

Let’s start that weight loss accountability and encouragement idea we talked about a while back. I need it. Weight loss has been the one thing that has plagued me for as long as I can remember. I would love 2009 to be the year that I actually tackle it and conquer it. Let’s throw around some ideas for keeping each other accountable and encouraging each other. My first idea would be just email each other regularly. Maybe we could start a blog for just the two us where we write daily or as often as we can about our victories and struggles with weight loss. Let me know what you think.
