This year marks quite a few benchmarks: a new decade for this millenium, a chance for people to leave the last decade behind and venture forward with new, hopefully better opportunities. For me, this year marks the transition into the next phase of my life. I will turn 26 (I've decided this is much worse than 25), the age that's on the downward slope of the mid-20s hill. The first of my friends got engaged, so this year will be full of wedding planning. Wow. My friends and I are now at marrying age. Inconceivable. Along those lines, my "eventual" wedding, that not so long ago was 4+ years off, is now down to 3. Which means, I seriously need to get busy. Get busy working toward my career. Get busy paying off my debt and saving toward the important events in my life. Get busy taking care of me so I actually have a life to work toward. Oh the pressure! With those events in mind, I have devised an outline to follow as I embark on my voyage deeper into my own adventure known as adulthood. Ergo:
1. Health:
a. Get thee to the surgery:
1a. Dentist
2a. Regular Physician
3a. Eye Doctor
b. Physical Fitness:
1b. Achieve maximum fitness level, i.e. get down to goal Body Fat Percentage (BFP): 14%
2b. Adopt "Clean Eating" as a lifestyle, not just when I'm home
3b. GO TO BED EARLIER!!! (As I write this, I am currently not succeeding as it is 11:00 PM, and I should have been in bed 30 minutes ago. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.)
2. Career:
a. Complete Publishing Course
b. Begin studying for Personal Training Certification (the goal this year is not necessarily to achieve full certification. If it is feasible, excellent. If not, that's fine. I just want to get the ball rolling.)
c. Ascertain definitive career path and secure position in that field.
3. Finances
a. PAY OFF CREDIT CARDS!
b. Establish savings for:
1b. Annual Vacation Funding
2b. Wedding
4. Relationship.
a. Try to be more understanding and less argumentative
b. Try to be more communicative
c. Make sure Steve knows I love him every day through actions, not words.
There it is. 2010. To date I have enrolled in the Publishing program and ordered my Personal Training (PT)study materials. Publishing classes start next Tuesday, and I should receive the PT materials this week. It's not much, but it's a start. Let's see what tomorrow brings . . .

At the risk of falling into the empty New Year's Resolution crowd, I have ventured to make a list of goals that I hope, and need, to achieve in the coming year for my personal well-being. This blog, therefore, will be my way of tracking those goals in a manner that holds me fully accountable. No hiding. No excuses. Here goes . . .
