2017 . . . what will yours look like?

01-01-2017 12:40pm#1Good afternoon beautiful souls!
In true New Years style I'm going to set some intensions for the year ahead. I usually do one big goal setting exercise once per year and re-visit each month to check progress but I must admit, these last few months have been a bit light on the compliance side! Ergo; here I am!
Health
1. Find out WTF is wrong with my RO. Get my period back!
2. Increase consumption of organic produce; 1 vegetarian day per week. DECREASE caffeine consumption.
3. Complete my 19 week hypertrophy strength programme.
Finance
1. STAY ON TRACK! Revisit my budget on a weekly basis.
2. Just 1 meal out per week, just 2 take away coffees per week.
3. Setup a pension (vomit) without it impacting my target savings goal.
Personal
1. Increase my time spent on hobbies. Reading, surfing, knitting... all of the above. Stop wasting so much time being a lazy stones.
2. LESS SOCIAL MEDIA TIME......!!
3. Do it. Get the HUGE tattoo on your bicep. Why not?!
What's in store for you folks this year? Do you usually set intensions, if not do you set goals at different times of the year or do you just not believe in goal setting?

-Get back to free weight training (have that already booked in and deposit paid for)
- Try and lose the 2 stone I have put on in the last 18 months. I'll be happy with any loss really
- Drink less tea and coffee
Financial:
Pretty ok financially, just keep saving I guess!
Personal:

There's a couple of sportives that are really good fun The Ring of Kerry (July 1st) is 180km cycle that's really well organised and its an absolute buzz when you finish, the ring of Clare has two distances 120km and 160km they are long days in the saddle but are totally worth itFitness goals:

I'm all for quarterly updates so I'm going to do mine! Feel free to do so yourself even if it helps motivate you to get back on track!I don't think I did this last year, my main goal was to get a new job which I did. so yay for that. This year.....hmmmm pretty cliche really!

Health: Currently half way through my 12 week PT classes and have lost just over half a stone. \o/ Weight lifting is coming along nicely too, deadlift is up to 52.5kg at the moment.
Part of the diet in the training also cuts out Tea/Coffee so I have drastically cut that down. Used to drink 5/6 a day now i'll be lucky to have 2. Also have to drink on average 4 litres of water a day so its kind of hard to do that and drink tea!
Financial: Still saving, for what? no idea but I'm doing it.
Personal: Didn't go to anymore drink and draw sessions, there is one next Tuesday so I WILL go to that.
Paintings are still where I left them...oops.
Trip to Canada is booked!!
I said it wasn't a goal but I achieved it all the same :pac: been seeing a guy since February so coincidentally have been doing more things in the evenings which is good!
Hope everyone else's year is going great 0 -

I love these kinds of threads too!
Health/Fitness-
Figure out what my body fat percentage is and decrease it.
Only eat chocolate at weekends.
Complete a half-ironman.
Use the very clean bicycle in my dining room....
Compete in a swimming gala abroad.
Get stronger.
Finance-
Save, save, save. Trying to get a mortgage. Seems impossible on a single-average income but I'll give it a go.
Go out for a nice dinner when I reach my next savings milestone.
Personal-
Get at least first draft of my book done.
Get up to a comfortable conversation level of the two languages I'm learning.
Run a fundraiser for a cause I care about.
Get my house organised.
Complete my book reading challenge (21 books in 2017!)
Finish a coding course on Udemy.
Learn how to cook 5 new meals.
Go on a date.
I'm going to do a (very late) quarterly update as well!
Health/Fitness
Have been using the bike a lot and have a half ironman booked for the summer.
No swimming gala abroad as it was too expensive.
Finances
I'm still saving but have been slack. It seems pointless sometimes, trying to save for a mortgage on one average salary.
Personal
Organised a kick ass fundraiser.
Terrible at the reading. Book 2 is a 600 pager and a hard read so I'm way behind.
Haven't learned to cook anything new.
Haven't gone on a date. 0 -

Its June, really?! Eeeppp! Lets see how I've done;
Health- I won't place a label on it but I have significantly increased my plant/organic consumption and can't remember the last time I ate meat. Dairy (cheese anyone?!) is a whole other ballgame.
- Period still not back BUT headway made. All medical avenues explored and all medical illness ruled out (YAY!) Now just to refocus, decrease stress (how easy is THAT to do these days) and listen to the signals my body is giving. I feel in such a better headspace about this recently than I previously did so mental-health tick on that one for sure.
- 19W strength training went out the window due to the previous point. Still training weighs as per usual
- No to lots here. Life happened. Health happened. I have no regrets. Im about $3k behind my savings goal yet SO MUCH FURTHER than last year. Win!
- TAT GOT! Eeeppp!
- Hobbies not so much... my life is still filled with work, yoga (which is now also work) and chill-the-fark-out time. Working on this!
This thread makes my heart happy. Look at all of us, crushing them goalz 0 -
-
Well, I didnt post either end of 2016, but maybe can post some mid-way goals
- I've been living at home for a good few years now. Am lucky my parents are very relaxed. And the home house is big and Ive my own private area. I hadnt a clue what I wanted to do. Even thought of moving country. There was always something in my gut to "hold on". Anyways, a big opportunity came up in February to build my own home! So, here I am now, female, of a certain vintage, single, trying to build my own home! The planning permission went in last week, so God's speed to it! Yes, I thought (because that's what were programmed to think) I'd be doing this with a significant other, but here I am doing it on my own!!! And its so liberating! Beyond proud of myself.
- As a result of housey stuff (the reality is it does get stressful sometimes) is that I joined training classes and I use them to get rid of stress (boxing and slam ball are flippin amazing!). So intend to continue with that and loose a few pounds/tone up to boot.
- Ive been asked to participate in a clay pigeon shooting competition. Lols! I never knew I had this talent. I went a few weeks ago with some friends, and the guy who owns the place asked me! I'm quite shy by nature, so I hope I get the guts to do it.
- I've been on some of the most wonderful holidays over the last few years, but housey stuff is priority right now. I do hope to go abroad for at least a week come oct/nov.
- Wanted to go to more gigs. Been to GnR so far. And Phil Collins in few weeks. Would love to go to a festival for a few days tho.
- Spread the vibe more that age is just a number. And that you can do things on your own (without a fella-most women still dont believe this. And without being judged....if someone judges you, its a reflection on them and how they see themselves). And be happy.0 -
Ooh love this thread!
Joining for the half year goals also!
Fitness
Improve time for both 5k and 10k. Couldn't run any distance at the start of the year so am really happy I achieved 10k. Time could be improved significantly. Run 10k race before year end.
Start cycling more.
Health
Eat waaaay better. Less sugar, more spinach. Yuck spinach!
Lose two stone
Finance
Save like a mad yoke!
Set up proper savings account rather than saving whatever is left over at the end of the month.
Personal
Pass final two exams of my course.
Meet friends for things that don't solely involve alcohol.
Stop spending so much time on social media
Be happy!0 -

- That nutritional plan didn't work at all. I was always hungry and have been on and off the wagon since. On the wagon at the moment though and feeling positive I can get close to my goal before holidays in August!
- Been sporadic but my flexibility is better.
Financial
- Still waiting to win the lotto.
Personal
- Still haven't decided on a tattoo. I know I want one but I'm waiting to find the one.
- Should know in the next few weeks if I passed the coaching license but I'm not confident that I have.
- On target to read 20 books!
I passed!!
Lesson learned so far in 2017 is to have more confidence in myself.0 -

Just checked my strava and I've cycled 2,200km this year. If I'm aiming for 3,000 I better get on me bike. Literally...
So a little check in.
I got knocked off my bike/was in a collision on the 2nd June. Just some minor bumps and bruises but I was out of action for about 6 weeks because I was concussed. So no running done really. However if I have a goal to aim for I'll do it so I'm going to sign up for the run in the dark in November, and start the couch to 5k this week with the aim to run 5k by early September.
Weightloss hasn't happened but I'll persevere.
The main thing though is that I'm happier than I can ever remember being, and if that's the only thing to come out of 2017, it's been a resounding success!
Now, where's my bike.0
