Okay, Okay, 2016, better get some goals working or I will end up spinning my wheels!

2016 is my year of saving. I plan on getting SOME money in my savings account. I will not let the fact that he is barely helping me allow me to rationalize away saving money. I have about 40 days left in my master's degree program and then if I need to, I can get a second job to save money. Or I can budget better. For now, I will try the budget thingy... Ugh

2016 is my year of losing. I am down 10 pounds over the holidays believe it or not. I am going to lose enough weight to wear a bikini. Over the last month the image I have of myself has reached the highest I have ever felt. Time to go all the way and do the ultimate in my eyes. Bikini on the beach. Ok, it will be a big bikini, not a stringy thing, but I dont care

2016 is my year of research. I will begin my doctrine by researching small business cyber security. I want to make a name for myself in this field this year by trying my hand at public speaking. I have a solid plan that can really help small business owners, who know nothing about computer security, secure their business pc's. This is the year I get the word out.

2016 is my year of elite. This year I will double down and become the master of my work here at the university. This will require me to purchase a larger nerf gun to make it through tough spots and a few more rubik's cubes. It helps me solve work problems if I can play with my cube when I get stuck. I have some cutting edge ideas that could save the campus millions, if I can just put my nose to the grindstone and work them out.

2016 is my year of dancing. No matter how busy I get with work, school and kids. I will not allow anything to interfere with my Friday nights. Lately I have been doing the Sunday night dances as well. I dont have to do these, but I need to keep going on Fridays to get out with my friends.

Step one on my first goal, my cash will be so tight this week, until January 22nd to be exact. So I cant start my first goal until Jan 22nd. But on that day, I make my first payment to my savings account.

Step one on my second goal. RUN! I have been completely slacking on this because of the holidays. Time to get out there and run... a lot! Step two, eat better. I do not need to eat less, I just need to make better choices. I have been Okay lately, I just need to continue to make good choices. I need to tell myself that the nacho cheese dorito taco from taco bell does not taste half as good as my grilled salmon and steamed broccoli. Even though it is easier, and cheaper and the kids love me when I do taco bell instead of cooking real food...

Step one on goal three. Reach out to SCORE and offer to speak.

Step one on goal four. Without getting technical, work through my notes from the conference. Step one would be to outline the information I need to learn to start on the new technology the university needs. I can commit 3 hours on Tuesday to get started on this.

Step one on goal five. No step needed, I just cant talk myself out of going. Right now there is no chance of that, but humans get lazy and I am human.

Got my goals and my baby steps. Ready for 2016.
