Mom has some goals for the New Year. Now remember, Goals are Dreams with a Deadline. Here are mom's most important goals.
1) Mom needs to lose some weight. She wants to lose 30 pounds. (lucky doesn't have to lose weight, she is 12.5 pounds. I don't have to lose weight, I am 17.5 pounds, no matter what I eat.) Mom wishes she was more like me. sigh.
2) Mom wants to strengthen her shoulder muscles, and help out her gimpy right shoulder. She has been doing her FIRM workout with weights. She has done it twice this week, so far.
3) Mom wants to get back into her running, in case she has to run 5 miles for her next goal. She has gotten on the treadmill for 30 minutes on Friday, Sunday, and Tuesday. She will be doing another half an hour today.
4) Mom wants her 2nd degree black belt. See the belt below? She wants another red stripe on it.
Part of that may be a physical exam of 50 push-ups (which is why she is doing the weights) 80 sit-ups (Mom can do that) and the running. She also has to know all her forms (Four and Five she learned in the Black Belt Class and are HARD) and all the techniques she has learned since becoming a black belt. The test has so far proved harder for almost all the students who have tested for it. Mom does not intend to be a casualty. Mom is going to PASS!
5) Mom wants to do more sewing, and make some more lap robes, including one for herself, to match the living room.
6) Mom wants to sew better, like Auntie.
So there you have it, mom's goals for the new year. What are your goals? Or rather, Dreams with Deadlines!

We are very impressed with your mom, those are great goals!
Mom says she is going to try and manage 10 pushups, well, it's a start!
All the best in 2009 from
Mindy, Moe, Bono and mom
Happy New Year! Your Mom has some great goals. I don't really have any goals, but I do want to resolve to be more patient with my Mother. I really have to learn that her short-term memory isn't what it used to be and adapt to it.
We admire your Mom's goals! We plan to nap more, and snuggle more.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! You two are sooo lucky to not gain weight when you eat. I have been 21-23 pounds the last couple of weigh ins. Mama said that my ideal weight is 20lbs...so I guess I'll be on a diet...AGAIN.
Your Mom is very athletic. Your Mom makes my Mama a super couch potato...she hates exercising.
Good luck to your Mom on all her dreams!
Hugs,

Great goals mom, you are brave to post all of them. We thought that maybe you should put them up on a sidebar, and then you can tick them off as you achieve each one.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year and a wonderful 2009 filled with adventures.

Those are great goals! I have some of the Firm DVDs and LOVE THEM (which is a good thing since I'll have to get familiar with them again soon!) Roxy, I am super jealous of your ability to eat whatever you want and not gain weight. Not fair!!
Those are some really good goals! My Mommie has been trying to lose the same 10 pounds for years. Maybe this is the year she will finally do it.
Happy New Year Roxy Lucky and family!
What a great post!
2009 is going to be fun!

We should have a weight loss support group. My human needs to loose about 40 pounds (she is afraid to step on the scale right now!)... sigh..
Those are some lofty goals! We send our best wishes to your mom for meeting them ...
