I have goals. I mean pretty much every area of my life has a goal I would like to obtain. Blogher’12 this year is no different. Last year, when I pretended to give a crap about my health, I said I wanted to be 250 by blogher. Yea… that didn’t even come close to happening.

1-Weight
This year my goal is to be in the 230’s. In the next four months it’s completely obtainable. I think it will be close. I know I can do it and it will be a lot of hard work but to have the selection of cute clothes that I haven’t had in a really long time will be a big motivation for me.

2-Clothes
I had the idea that I would be about a size 18/20. Well that was what I wanted to be and I know that it really couldn’t be too hard since I’m already wearing a size 22 now. Except while we were in the Dells I got curious when we went to an outlet mall. We went into an Old Navy there and I wanted to see how far away from a size 20 I was. You know, to see if it would fit over my ass. Yes, they did and I found two pairs that buttoned and zipped! So now I’m shooting for about a size 16/18.

3-Blog
I would like to make this bad boy better. I mean I think it’s better already because of my stellar design from Sarah at One Starry Night. I have loved her work since I started to blogging almost two years ago. I would also like to keep up on my posting. I know that there are times when I slack because I get pulled into reading but I would like to try and fight that.

4-Running
Blogher has a 5k going on at 6 am Friday the 3rd of August. I plan to run the whole thing. No stopping. I know I have my two other 5k’s before this one but I don’t think I’ll be able to run the first one all the way through. I think that it will be a stop and go effort. Being big right makes it painful to run sometimes. I’m hoping with the extra weight off and the extra training time I can improve my speed and running capabilities.
Those are my Goals for now. I’m so excited for New York it’s insane. Just ask my husband and I’m sure he’ll tell you ow I never shut the fuck up about going. Ha!

Are you going to Blogher’12? If so do you have any goals for yourself?

2011 has been a year to remember for our family. There have been ups and downs, although mainly ups.
I gained a new little nephew!

Madd Man

I finally married this sexy man!

<3

I became a mom of a toddler and preschooler. =/

When did they grow up?

My nephew was diagnosed with Brain Cancer

Studly!

And so far, besides getting married, the best part was they recently got all of his tumor out!

Post Tumor Removal during Chemo this last week!

Twenty-Eleven has been a very very eventful year. I really am looking forward to moving on to Twenty-Twelve. I have a couple goals for myself and our family in the upcoming year.

Goals

-200lbs or less
-Run a mile without stopping
-Participate in a 5k run
-Start Homeschooling
-Get $3000 in savings
-Find a play group we love for the kids
-Give up Diet coke( I think this will be the hardest!)

They aren’t goals that I think are out of my reach at all. I think I can attain every single one of these and I will! I always remember my mother making resolutions such as to quit smoking and such. I was always a little sad when she didn’t. I want the monsters to always work towards goals, even small ones. And since I have a habit of being a constant quieter this year I hope to prove that quality wrong in myself!

What are your 2012 goals? Do you have any set yet?

I am a mother with tons and tons of goals. And as many of my mommy friends know, once you have children, many of those goals vanish into thin air. Its a sacrifice sure but worth it. But also my mommy friends know that there are things you need to do for yourself, whether to make you feel human again or just for some you time. Well this mama is on a mission to fulfill some of  her  goals.
