2005 Goals in Review

Things from my goals list, which I DID NOT ACCOMPLISH :-(

Reach target weight of 168 pounds.

I didn't follow my action plan of eating breakfast every workday. As a result, I didn't meet the goal. Nor was I consistent with one leg workout per week.


Attend a church (any church) once every 2 months.

Pay off my Capital One Mastercard (which has the highest interest).
I did not put the card in a Ziploc bag with water and stick it in the freezer, so I couldn't use it. Another failure to follow the action plan.

Give more compliments.A/P: Each day, give at least one compliment to a stranger/casual associate.A/P: Each day, give at least one compliment to a family member/close friend.

I did not follow the action plan here. As a result, it did not become a habit.



Visit parents once a month.
Travel to a Carribean island for a long weekend this summer.
Boy did I miss this one.

Complete a book by James Baldwin.
Keep the blog updated.A/P: Update twice a week.
Obviously, I didn't keep this one.
Get the book club involved in volunteering in a community project.
The book club didn't have a single meeting last year. (I think they're waiting on me to finish grad school.)
Resume Spanish lessons by my birthday (7/23)
Take an acting class.
Take voice lessons.
Bench press 225 pounds ten (10) times.
