New Year, New Goals, New Challenges :-D

Happy New Year! 2011 is here!

So. I have so many important things coming up this year. I start my MBA program at the end of this month, and I recently moved out of my dad's house. I'm on my own for the first time in my 23 years of living on this Earth. So far so good. I'm going to make it a point to blog more often then I have over the last 2-3 years I've had this blog. I've also made a list of goals to accomplish this year. Below is my list:

Goals to Accomplish in 2011

Fitness/ Physical Health

- I’m at my healthiest and my ideal weight. I maintain this way of living by eating a healthy pescetarian (soon to be vegetarian) diet, and exercising consistently.
- I’m able to run successfully in 5K and 10K races; by being consistent in training.
- My muscles are defined and I am a physically STRONG woman! I’m able to do this by lifting weights that challenge me.
- All my blood work test results are in normal range for someone my age. I can do this because I eat a healthy clean diet 90% of the time.
- I am full of energy and have more than enough to accomplish all the other goals on this list (lol)

Personal

- I am actively dating and being proactive about meeting new people; I accomplish this goal by trying new things like online dating, and attending events that may be out of my comfort zone.
- My friends are a positive influence in my life and are driven to succeed; I don’t attract negative people with lack of motivation.
- I continue to incorporate my awareness as a black queen and a spiritual being with no limitations in all aspects of my life
- I travel outside of the country at least once
- I volunteer often because I enjoy helping others

Home

- I maintain a clean home and car
- I am organized and everything has its place
- My home is a place of peace. Drama, danger, and turmoil do not exist here
- My home is filled with laughter, love, and peace
- I live in a safe space

Education/Career

- I maintain a 4.0 each semester of graduate school by studying the material and committing the necessary time to each class
- The experience I gain in my career will contribute to the success of owning my own business
- I will also meet people in school and through career related events that will contribute to my success in being an entrepreneur
- I will receive grants to pay for my MBA degree
- Both my education and my career will NOT be a chore, it will be enjoyable and something that I look forward to all the time.

Finance/Business

- I will continue to invest with an investment club, and use the knowledge gained to make investments on my own
- I will decide what type of business I would like to own and make a business plan by the end of 2011
- I will start to save money towards that business beginning 2011.
- I will continue to save money for emergencies
- I don’t have any finance troubles because I am financially responsible and I am investing wisely.

I'm going to do my best to blog about the different things I'm doing to accomplish the goals on this list. So, be on the look out for posts documenting how I accomplished these goals! :-)
