As I’ve gotten back into keeping up with my favorite blogs this week I’ve really enjoyed browsing the resolutions and goals. I’ve been reading some pretty inspiring thoughts. They’ve given me a lot of ideas for what I might need to focus on for myself.
I’ve had a few things on my mind regarding my own goals for the year.
Stay in the moment. It is going to be a busy year for us and I don’t want to get distracted looking ahead to the next step all the time. I want to remember to enjoy the present.
Improve my running ability.
Get away from standard gym workouts and increase my exercise variety. I am taking squash racquets back to Brazil with us and I want to do more hiking.
Explore the option of getting back into teaching group exercise. Pilates and yoga instruction are starting to appeal more to me.
Expand my web writing and get an article in a print publication this year.
Here is a list of some great goals I’ve read throughout the week. Thanks to everyone who posted them. They really got me thinking.
Striving Green has some very well rounded goals for mental, physical and environmental health.
Healthy Ashley inspired me with her focus on the spirituality, people and overall wellness.
Jenn@ Fit Bottomed Girls plans to run a ½ marathon this year. I was a huge fan of her very balanced and healthy training plan.
The Nourishing Gourmet listed her resolutions focused on wholesome real foods. You’ll also find a post about her carnival where you can find even more links to health-focused resolutions.

I posted a bit about running and entering your first 5K on Charity Mile this week which was then republished on the Runner’s Lounge if anyone out there wants to take the first step this year.
If you enjoy travel writing at all an article I wrote about my 30th birthday trip to Ilha do Mel, Brazil was published on Tatiana’s Travel Corner this week – An Island as Sweet as Honey.
Have a great weekend!!

Wonderful array of links!! Thanks!!
Enjoy your weekend!!
Great list! I especially like “stay in the moment.” With 2 kids that are growing too fast, that’s a big one that I need to do more of. Off to check out your links now!
Awww, thanks! Girl, you inspire me all the time!!! Can’t wait to see you hit your goals this year. 🙂
Good luck with your goals!
Thanks for all the links!
Great goals and links! yayy for getting back into group fitness instructing.
VeggieGirl – Thanks, hope you have a great weekend!
Cathy – Such a simple thing that is always so hard to do. 🙂 Enjoy your kiddos for sure.
Jenn – Right back at ya! 2009 is gonna be a great year!
Meg – Thank!
Erica – I’m toying with the idea, but I’m think I’m going to focus on what I really like to do this time. I got so burned out in the past which is why I stopped. I love teaching spinning and more strength stuff. Mind body would be fun too.
Great list–I hope pursuing those goals makes for a great year for you! I hope to be mindful of that first one this year, as it’s so easy to get caught up in tackling the next thing before enjoying (or dealing with) what’s happening right now.
