Goals | Hello! My name is... Imelda Bettinger

Goals for the week

I need to live with intention so this week I intend to bring my breakfast and lunch to work and not eat out. I also intent to exercise daily using my Wii Fit Plus. I really do like it, just need to make the time for it. I started with the Wii Fit last year when I was invited to a Wii Fit Party at Jenny the Bloggess‘s house. TOO much fun, even with a broken foot. I had bunion surgery.

I heard a lady at Mom 2.0 Summit say she lost 16 lbs already since the beginning of the year using Wii Fit Plus. I wish I knew who so I could talk to her more..

Wish me luck!

2009

I mentioned before, 2008 was a rough year, but I’m ready to move on to 2009!

Goals for the year:

Be true to myself. I used to be so unique and awesome and I want to get back there again. I’ve been too dull and asleep.
Nurture relationships that are important to me. You know who you are! I’ll be more open with you & look to me to lean on when you need a friend. I’M HERE to help!
Be inspiring. Share my story & knowledge and try to light a fire under people to go out and do what they need to do to live, not just what they want to do!
Be hopeful. Be more positive and open to opportunities.
Take more photos. Subjects to explore: looking up, photos inspired by music & always more macro
Go to Ireland.

And of course, must post ThinkArete Manifesto, again!

Happy 2009!

2009, goals, love, me

Overall, 2008 was a tough year and I really am glad its over [wish I had a glass of wine right about now], only to be able to look back on. I am soo looking forward to 2009! I’m sure there is more stuff I did in 2008 but on to 2009…
