Goals

Last night, I was driving back to Lansing from Muskegon. What normally happens during this drive is that my brain goes a mile a minute. It's when I wish that I had a notepad that would write for me.

However, a few things that I remember thinking during the drive were mostly about goals that I want to set for myself for the rest of the year.

So, here goes:

1) I would like to lose 10 pounds by May 1st. I think this is doable. Especially after I get back on the exercise bike. The holidays really threw me off, and I haven't jumped back on since then.

2) I will participate in Master Speak Up this year. This is a Jaycee competition, and basically, writing and giving a speech based on a given topic. I have to try to overcome my fear of public speaking, and while I've made strides in this, I need to do more.

3) I will become a 7th degree Jaycee. Currently, I am a 2nd degree, but I went through the other night and documented up to 5th degree. So, I will turn those in, and then earn 2 more this year.

4) I will try not to vent so much. There are times when very little things annoy me, and sometimes I tend to vent and not think about it first. So, I will make attempts to keep my trap shut!

5) I will read again...I've already started this, with Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore.



What are your goals? Do you have anything you'd like to accomplish this year?
