: to make simple or simpler: as a: to reduce to basic essentials b: to diminish in scope or complexity : streamline
My goal to simplify is -
*Buy less stuff, repurpose or reuse what we have
*Get rid of things we are no LONGER using either through Craigslist or Freecycle
*Simplify my job./career- implement better practices to make my job easier
*Don't sweat the small stuff - simplify my emotions
I'm also going to kick ass on my fitness goals. Unfortunately, I didn't get chosen for the Altoona Herald/Anytime Fitness Winter Challenge...the reason....I was in too GOOD of shape, the 4 challengers have serious health concerns that need to be addressed immediately. In fact Chris aka Satan told me of the 15 entrants, I was in the best shape. He was pulling for me, but the other Judges feel the others needed the help worse than me. The good news.....I'm starting back with Darcy the Devil three times a week at a ridiculously low price. Personally I think Chris felt sorry for me for not getting picked and is offering this as a consolation. My 2009 goal for my fitness is to be 40 pounds lighter by the end of 2009. That's approximately 3.5 pounds a month. THAT is doable.
Because of my back injury and the holidays, I've probably lost some ground that I was gaining. I haven't been able to work out since the 23rd and I've got to get in there and talk to them about starting back up without re-injuring my back. It's on my to-do list for today.
No New Years Eve plans......we are such loser homebodies that the thought of going anywhere to celebrate isn't even on our radar...LOL
So have you chosen a word for 2009 or any particular goals?

Hey, I'm so sorry to hear about your back injury. I'm just catching up on blog reading. Glad you're doing better.
Those are GREAT goals to have for the new year! Good luck with the fitness plan! I've slacked off in the past couple of weeks, too. Gotta get back on it. You really feel it when you stop going for a bit.
Hope you have a nice evening! We are also loser homebodies so I can relate! We kick ourselves every year for not organizing something! lol
Kristina, I'm catching up on your last two blog entries. You inspire me with your chosen word and your goals. I'm going to spend today thinking of what my word will be. And, your weight loss goal sounds impossible to weak little me right upfront but sounds doable over the course of the year. Good luck!
Great word ;) and great goal w/your weight loss. I've been focused on simplifying my life lately, too.
Wow I must not have read your blog lately. A lot has happened. BUMMER about your back. What a crappy way to spend your vacation.
Love the Christmas gifts. Glad they were appreciated!
I usually do have a word of the year, but I haven't come up with one yet...I like yours.
