Thinking ahead to 2020 goals

For as long as I've been blogging, I start thinking about my goals for the year ahead in December, & often earlier. I like having plenty of time to consider what I'd like to accomplish, what worked well in previous years, the big areas I need to stretch or grow in, etc.

For a fun spin through years past, here are all of the yearly goal posts:

2015
2014
2013
2012
2011

And with that, on to 2020 goals! My macro goals remain largely the same. I want to make progress on our financial goals, lose weight & stay healthy, spend quality time as a family, & improve myself. It's good to see I'm consistent year over year. :-)

Here are the goals I'm thinking about for 2020:

1) Financial

• Stick to our budget (more details in upcoming posts about budget changes we've made for 2020)
• Pay off 1/2 of our mortgage. We bought in February of 2017. Our goal is to hit the half way point by June, 2020.
• Spend $500 or less on clothing for myself

2) Family

• One fun activity/month with the kids
• Off the computer by 7:30 each evening
• Two dates with M per month.

3) Fitness/health

• Lose 15 lbs. Stop gaining & regaining. Slow & steady is fine, but keep it consistent.
• Run 100 times. Run a half marathon in under 2:25.
• Track calories, average 1400 cals/day
• Complete 12,000 minutes of cardio, 100 strength & 50 stretching workouts
• Meditate 100 times

4) Personal/creative

• Make time for my friends. Do something social at least once per month.
• Volunteer a minimum of 1x/month
• Write & journal regularly
• Adapt a more positive mindset (judge less)
• Listen more often (vs talking)
• Stop/greatly reduce swearing (I don't swear ever in front of most people. I have a friend/colleague who is a terrible curser, and it's rubbed off of on me.)

What about you? Have you started thinking about your 2020 goals?
