2020 Goals

I've made a few tweaks to my goals for the year, so here they are:

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 September, 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.
• Schedule monthly video calls with M's family, who is unable to visit.
• Related, learn 20 new words of Farsi, so I can communicate (even a little) with M's family

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.)

I'm super excited for my goals for the year. I also think that some of them will really stretch me! What about you? What are your goals for 2020? Any big goals you are excited about?
