2012..Year of Action

So here I am in 2012. I'm calling this my "Year of Action". I have goals that I WILL meet.


I'm still a single mom of 4 kids, 3 at home. My goals are to get into the best shape of my life. The kind of shape that women admire and come to me for advice. The shape that women who are 42 can look at and say "I can do that too!", that makes young girls realize that the 40's aren't old and life is over but life is actually great at 40. 


In the past, I've done a lot of researcher. I'm a reader, a thinker. I do tons of research then get overloaded by it all. What foods, what diet, what exercise routine. I know now that I have all the knowledge I need; what I'm lacking is ACTION. To get off the computer READING about women have accomplished their goals and hit the weights and accomplish my own!!


I started the Bodyrock.tv challenge. Great workouts, not a lot of time but soo intense. Plus I do extra weights or treadmilling and watching what I eat. I always say "Knowledge, without ACTION, is powerless!"


My 2nd goal is to become financially independent. I have some credit card debt I will get rid of.  Fortunately my credit is awesome so the interest rate is 0-3%. But I want it ALL gone. Truck payment I want gone. More savings, invest, etc. I don't want to rely on childsupport. Just my own money. I'm following Dave Ramsey's plan. Again, I got the info and now I'm acting on it. Won't be easy but well worth it.


3rd goal..I want a deeper relationship with God. I want to be so full of the Holy Spirit that I glow..yep 'glow'. Thats the word that comes to my heart. So, I'm listening to podcasts (Hagee's, Joyce, Creflo, Mark Driscoll), praying more, reading Bible more. Need to worship more. Got to work on that. To discover my gift. Point is, I'm taking action.


4th I want to learn how to speak in public. I do OK, not great by any means. I want to be comfortable. I have a feeling that may be one of my gifts from God.I like to help people. I need to be able to speak to them clearly and confidently.


5th Travel more. Get me and the kids out of this Superfund Box we call our home town and explore the world. To show them there is life outside of our town. Oceans to wonder at, places that don't have mountains like we have, new faces, new food. Need money to do that, so thats where #2 comes in.


Point is, I'm taking ACTION. I made me some great vision boards on pinterest that i look at alot. I want to find my future mate too. Not out looking for him, he will show up when he is suppose to. But I'm keeping my eye out.


This is going to be a great ride...
