I’m not too big into “New Year’s Resolutions”… I think often people don’t follow-through with resolutions. Here’s what I found on Wikipedia…
“Recent research shows that while 52% of participants in a resolution study were confident of success with their goals, only 12% actually achieved their goals. Men achieved their goal 22% more often when they engaged in goal setting, a system where small measurable goals are used (lose a pound a week, instead of saying “lose weight”), while women succeeded 10% more when they made their goals public and got support from their friends”
Doesn’t sound too good does it? Only 12% huh? So we’re going to call them GOALS. I do believe making your goals public. 
What are your goals for 2010?
Here’s some of the most popular goals in America:
In the United States, popular goals include:
- Lose weight
- Get out of debt
- Become more organized
- Maintain a diary
- Save money
- Improve grades
- Get a better job
- Get fit
- Eat right
- Get a better education
- Drink less alcohol
- Quit smoking

- Take a trip
- Volunteer to help others
- Be less grumpy
- Be more independent
- Learn something new (such as a foreign language or music)
- Try to get up early in the morning
- Time management
- Help the poor
All good goals don’t you think? Amazing how 6 of those are health/fitness related. Seems to be something on everyone’s mind huh?
I think I’ve done good at keeping up with my everyday goals, workin’ on my fitness and eating healthy. Two of my fitness goals in 2010 is to do the Rock ‘n’ Rock Half-Marathon in Nashville {which we’ve signed up for} and the Women’s Nike Half-Marathon {which I cannot wait to sign up for a hopefully get picked!} Anyone else done that one?
Hubs and I want to travel more in 2010, we hope to go to Ireland, New York, Florida, and take a cruise. Any cruise suggestions?
And I’m pretty sure I’ve thrown “being a morning person” out the window. It’s next to impossible for me to wake up at the crack o’dawn to workout consistently… I loved that I read in Ali Vincent‘s book, that she’s not a morning person either… and she’s still got all her workouts in and is healthy.
So tell me, what are goals you want to accomplish and work on in 2010?
