This Blog is just as the name states: My 2012 Goals as per Steve's challenge here https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/share_zone/view/1100.

Hopefully I can update this at a later date so it can be more fleshed out and in-line with goals I already have. Some of these will be more short-term while others will be more long term.

Personal Goals

1. Reach 180 lbs (at 200 lbs down from 220!)
2. Run a 5k
3. Get my own place/apartment
4. Be able to support myself without financial help from others
5. Get on a decent sleep schedule
6. Keep eating healthy
7. Join a recreational Men's Baseball League

9. Spend more time with family than the computer.

Thats about all I can come up with right now. I actually have a fully detailed "plan" typed out that has everything in detail such as what exercises I'm doing, how much I'm eating, etc. It has definitely helped me focus and really motivated me to keep pushing.

The person I was just 3 months ago is drastically different than who I am right now. It's quite awesome seeing my personal progress well...personally! On sort of a side note, having rewards for achieving your goals also helps in keeping myself motivated. To give you an example from my personal life, I currently have some rewards set in place for each checkpoint I reach towards my weight goal of 180 lbs. My big goal (which actually wasn't set by me!) is that my step-father will take me out and buy me my first real suit! At first I wasn't all that excited but not that I've seen the progress, it's rekindled my motivation to keep on trucking towards my goal.

Anyways, I went on a bit of a rant but I completed what I finished out to do! Hope a few people will find it somewhat interesting.
