Back on the Horse

Alright. I haven't posted in awhile and I'm blaming it on my phone. It's a dumb phone, which means I have to actually turn on my PC to post. Well no more excuses!! I bought an iPhone 4S last week. So I'm setting goals again and you guys get to hear all about it. Please give me any advice you have. I'll talk to you soon.

Alright, let's break this down.

As I said last night, I made week one kind of pathetic because I started half way through the week.  Also, saturday is my birthday, so I am taking it easy.  

Week:

Work out two times this week - I want to start working out, and I think short term goals will help me reach that.  Work out has a very broad definition, basically if I'm active, I consider it working out.  I plan to go kayaking on saturday, that will count for one.  If I go to the gym in my apartment, go for a bike ride, rock climb, mountain bike, water ski, wake board, run, or anything where I'm not sitting on my ass, I will count it as a work out.  I will probably have some form of workout goal each week.

Drink a beer I've never tried before - I wanted another goal for this week and since saturday is my birthday this seemed like a good goal.

Month:

Read "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People." - I decided a couple weeks ago that I wanted to start reading books that would change my outlook on life.  This is a very well known book, so I figured I would start there.  I have already started it and I'm really enjoying it.  I highly recommend it.  I want to finish it by the end of the month.  I intend to toss a book on each month's goals.  After I start back to school that may slow down.

File my Dissolution - I am in the process of getting divorced.  I have been procrastinating this step and I want to stop.  So I'm going to try to have it drawn up and filed by the end of the month.

Pick a School - I just graduated with my Associates in Electronics Engineering Technologies.  I want to continue for a bachelors. I need to decide if I'm going to go for an EET degree or an EE degree.  That decision will decide which school I attend.

Year:
Graduate - I put this on there because I already accomplished it and I wanted to put it on there.

Pay off my credit cards - I think this is obvious.  I've got a decent amount of credit card debt and the interest rates are high, so I want to get rid of those first before my other debt from my marriage.

First week. Here we go. I am sending this from my phone. So there won't be much detail. I will post tomorrow explaining my goals a bit. I started this half way through the week, so the goals are pretty pathetic for the first week. It will get more challenging next week.
