It’s now time to revisit my 2008 goals I so ambitiously set last December. We’re now more than halfway through the year with only 5 months left, and as I peruse the list I see some goals that certainly will be difficult to complete in the rest of the time allotted. Fortunately I am in a very good position to still follow through on these goals with school starting and a perfect scenario to ingrain a few new habits. I am also going to adjust some of the goals, but the ideas will essentially remain the same. Here are the original goals…
2008 Goals
1. Weigh 235
2. Bench Press 300, Squat 400, Deadlift 400
3. Complete Pimsleur Italian I and II
4. Complete all guitar books
5. Control Pause to 60 seconds
6. 50 free under 28 seconds
7. 40 yd dash under 4.7
8. Write 1 song a week, one hour per day
9. Diet of mostly fruits and vegetables and lean meat
10. Singing exercises daily

To accomplish these goals I’m going to try and get into daily habits. I’ve done very well on the food. I’m going to change the Italian to Spanish, and the athletic goals will hopefully fall into place with a varied workout routine. Here is what I’m going to do daily.

1. Play guitar and learn something
2. Do 200 pushups
3. Immerse in Spanish

With those 3 simple, easy to follow daily goals I can accomplish almost everything I want. For now, I’ll leave it at that and start tomorrow.
