5. Build up my live action roleplaying game with new books and publicity.
6. Help get as many democrats as possible elected in November.

I don't have 5 goals, I have 2.

I had a goal in 2007 (October) to lose a significant amount of weight by October 2009 and get my heart rate down so I'm no longer on lisinopril.

I have already lost 35% of that goal (in 3 months). My mission is to lose 50% of the original number, leaving the last bit of 15% of the weight I want to lose for early 2009. It should be doable. It's not really a resolution, I already work out an hour a day. My routine needs to move up to weight training though, which will be easier as it starts getting warmer/sunnier out.

My heart rate has gone from 130 resting to 80 resting, 190 active to 120-140 active, so I will probably be off the pills sooner or later.

My other goal is to financially survive through the year and perhaps get a new job at a certain juncture.

I bought my 50" 1080p Plasma on Sunday so scratch that one off the list.

I really only have one thing I want to do this year, continue saving up money for a bewb job. I'm pretty unhappy with my bewbs, and already have saved up $2,000. It might happen this year.

Like andaroo, I have lost the excess weight and have been doing some Cardio so I need to move on to strength/muscle training.

My other goals would be to bring back my credit score up to 750ish and be a much more patient person, less pissy/irritable.

Post Re: Your 5 Goals/Plans For 2008
My top resolution would be to stop being so lazy.

I'm also hoping to work on my singing. I can manage the instrument(guitar or piano), singing, not so much. But I'm working on it... Scales every day!

Girls, that's up there. The thing is, I think I'll work on that when I head off to university. Right now in the small town I live, most of the girls are either with someone or annoying people I don't like. I've also had a problem with looking at girls in the grades below me, just never felt right. So yeah, limited options. I'm not in a hurry.

Post Re: Your 5 Goals/Plans For 2008
I know what you're talking about, Shack. Going to a really small school (only 200 students) where everybody I'm interested in is already going out with somebody else and everyone else is someone I'm not interested in, the choices are really limited. But I should have better luck when I head off to college in fall 2009.
