And I hope its yours too! (Since I don’t know how to link to a post, 😀 I am keeping this post on top until Monday – my newer posts will hopefully show up after this one!)
I decided to do a post to help motivate me as well as any readers I may have. Here’s the deal. Tell me what your goal is for just the month of January. I don’t want you to say you want to fit in a bikini by June, or you want to work out 2 hours a day 6 days a week. I am talking about realistic goals that you can achieve – and you have until the end of January to do it!
Here’s mine:
- drink at least 32 ounces of water each day (seriously lacking on this lately!)
- work out for 45 minutes 4 days a week (again, seriously lacking on this lately!)
- no wine during the week (I love my red wine – a bit too much I think!)
So it’s that simple. Tell me what your goals are in the comment section, let me know then if it’s okay to add you to my blog roll, and hopefully we can keep tabs on each other to make sure we are meeting our goals. Are you in??
And it’s the beginning of the month, so see my monthly giveaway below! All you need to do is post a comment and you’ll be entered. I will pick a winner on Monday, January 5.
So take your time, think about what you really want to accomplish just the month of January. It may be taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Or walking your dog every night for 20 minutes. I hope you join me! My challenge starts on Monday!

I’ve to face the fact that I’m addicted to reading blogs. 🙂 So my resolution is to limit my internet time so I can spend more talking time with my mom and also to pick up my volunteering commitment. I took the first step tonight by filling out an application!
My goal is to stop all after diner snacks. I also have a goal of winning the powerball lottery, but the snacks hold a better chance of happening.
Oh Biz, I’d be happy to be in your blogroll and I’m returning the favor.
My goal is to lose 4 lbs, drink more water and exercise at least 5 days a week.
If I won that cool water bottle, it would make drinking water more enjoyable!
Ive added you to my blogroll, and you are welcome to add my blog to your blogroll.

My goals are to finish nursing school in May, move to Arizona, and continue to recover from my eating disorder.
Great giveaway!
I have 2 goals for January.
1. Stay within my calorie range EVERY day.
2. Exercise 5-6 days a week.
You are more than welcome to add me to your blogroll. And I’ll add you to mine.
I have two goals, but I will only post one. Limit myself to one diet coke a day. (I usually drink caffeine free, but I still feel like I am having withdrawals…of course I also drink 8 or so a day….scary, I know)
Wow I’m excited about your giveaway!!
My goal for January is to do the month-long workout from Oxygen magazine every day- it’s short and quick, so it’ll be enough to keep me moving.
Another goal I have is to finish my story by the end of January. I’ve only got a couple chapters left to go and I’ve been feeling really inspired lately, and I don’t want to put it off for months- if I give myself a deadline I’ll be able to get myself into the zone more and work really hard on it.
What a great giveaway! Your goals are great! I am going to try at to do ab exercises at least 5 days a week.
My goal started 4 months ago and still has 4 to go. 15% body fat. A year ago i was over 27% and now I’m at 20%. It feels great! When i hit my goal I’m taking those surfing lessons =)
getting rid of the clutter/unpacking the last of my stuff. i’ve made good progress the past two days, but i know that once everything has it’s own place it won’t be hanging over my head i’ll feel better…
small steps to getting back to happy 🙂
What a fun collection of prizes!! Count me entered!
My short term goals: Eat meals like the ones in Natural Health Magazine, which always look 100% fresh and healthy.
My goal for January is to change my eating habits and work out 3-5 times per week! Hopefully changing my habits will help me lose weight and be in the best shape of my life by my birthday in May!
My goal for January is only two sweet treats per week, and to pack my lunch 4 out of the 5 days I work (the food is fairly healthy, but expensive! I need to get that in check.)
For January I will work out at the gym
Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday-cardio
Saturday/Sunday- Spin class and weights
Drink at least 10 glasses of water a day and keep track on paper.
Great blog and giveaway.
The Hot Chocolate Fudge Cakes pictured on the front of the Cooking Light are awsome (and 5 WW points each). I made them for Christmas.
My goal for January is to recapture my focus on diet and exercise. I have really been struggling on and off since my vacation in October, giving myself excuses to deviate from the plan. So that’s it – NO MORE EXCUSES!
Hmmm… I have mine up on my blog =)
Lose 5lbs (I counted this whole week)
Huge Etsy Shop Update
Launch Business website and business cards
Have 3 great days with the boyfriend
Open a savings account, find and save $100
Find a way/organization to volunteer
My goal is to see Charlie Hill in a bikini! Or….not!
I am not setting goals or making resolutions this year – I am making wishes! And my wish for January is to NOT let myself fall into my usual January slump
wooooo great giveaway items!
Great Post! Love the giveaway! My plan for January is simple. Drink more water and stop eating after 6:00 pm.
zesty
I just joined the gym, so my goal is to do one class/week in January. (That was my minimum criteria for considering it worth the cost.) Yes,please do add me to the blogroll. This will be fun!
