My 2009 Goals and Resolutions

I am about to give you a look into my thought process.  I wanted to create a nice polished post on my goals and resolutions for 2009.  However, I have decided against it.  I am going to create this post as the ideas and thoughts come to me.  At first it will be some general goals that I have thought of.   Over time this post will evolve into the steps I break each goal into and how successful I am at each of my goals.  Keep an eye on this post throughout the year.  I’m hoping we can both learn something from the process.

Initial Goals…

Financial

1. Do not use credit cards for anything I can’t pay off in full by the end of the month
2. Use YNAB Pro to create a budget that allows me to build my savings and finish paying off my debt
3. Make 20% of my Full time employment income through my own side businesses

Health

1. Increase my cooking skills.  Learn how to make healthy meals that taste good.
2. Complete a 3 month consistent 3 to 4 times a week exercise program to start the year

     • My 3 Month exercise program will start off with 3 key Areas
       1. The Two Hundred Sit ups Challenge
       2. The One Hundred Push ups Challenge
       3. Build up to 20 minutes of constant cardio
