Yippy for 2009!
What I am thinking for this year might sound a bit broad, but if I apply it to the different areas of my life, then it's more specific.
BROADEN MY HORIZONS
That's it, you might ask?
Yep. That's it.
Think about it:
Workouts: Try new things, mix it up. I love running and yoga but I need to get back to lifting weights, back to kickboxing, back to spin classes. Expand my routine.
Health: There are several more things I can do to live a healthier life. Cut my drinking, do a master cleanse, etc, etc.
Friends: Pick up the phone and reconnect with old friends. Actually go visit them. Reach out to new friends, make an effort to get out of my hermit shell.
Dating: Uhm, yeah this will be the hard part for me this year. But it has to be done. I'm not going to get anywhere in this arena if I'm home having dinners with you-know-who all the time. I need to get out where there is an opportunity to actually meet someone I find interesting (no easy feat, my friends).
So there you have it.
Happy new year to all and to all a good night. Be safe and don't do anything I wouldn't do.

I love the "reconnecting" with friends goal! That's been a big one for me this year....Thank You FaceBook! Never pass up an opportunity to tell someone how you feel about them, even if it's as simple as "everytime I'm with you I laugh" or perhaps "everytime I read your blog, I'm inspired"...because I am. Thanks for a great 08 POM!
Happy New Year!
That's a great plan. I like the theme. I call myself a hermit all the time. I need to adopt that too! Happy '09!
Ha, thanks for your comment - I guess it was half-assedness in the planning more than the execution.
By the way, thanks for sharing your blog with everyone. A friend of mine (ND, in fact) tipped me off to it a couple months ago, and I've loved following all the escapades.
Here's to kicking off 2009 with a bang - looking forward to reading about how this horizon broadening goes!
GREAT goals! Some of which I need to copy - because who did I have pre New Years Eve Party drinks with - you got it. It sucks. This year we will beat it!
Happy New Year!!!!
Great goals!!
Happy New Year. Sounds like you have great goals and indeed are ready for 2009! Bring It!
Happy running 2009!.

Great Resolutions! Just a little tip from the goal guru (That's what I call myself)...Try and be more specific, and give yourself deadlines for when you want to do things by! It helps keep you accountable!
Have a great 2009! Can't wait to see what it holds!
sounds like a good plan. i think the spinning classes and a new b/f will spark things up for you. :)
Sounds like a very good plan. I, too, have the "usual" goals I set every year, but this year, like you, reconnecting with old friends will be added to the list. Here's to a great 2009 for us all!
I really like this plan. Broadening horizons is a great goal.
Happy New Year, sounds like you have a great plan for 2009!
Great plan! I like the friend one.
i love the expansion plans. You want to set a real broad challenge? throw a sprint triathlon into the mix. they are quite fun.
and keep an open mind to people you find interesting. Some people might be more interesting the second time you talk to them. The south carolina version of that determines how many missing teeth you are willing to put up with.
btw, don't be afraid to venture to the east coast every now and again. You've got friends here too. Pick a destination race maybe.
Good luck, i'm really looking forward to seeing you go through the year.
Thank GOD 2008 has finally gone the way of the dinosaur. Best of luck in 09 - can't wait to hear about the dating.
2008 finally got me back in to things besides running, but you are right cross training more would be a very good thing..probably help my arms!
I am positive there is a great guy out there just waiting for you and now that you are open to it, it'll happen!
Happy New Year
Nice ... really well-rounded!
Happy New Year to you, POM!
awesome goals POM!!! i hope 2009 is a GREAT year for you :) happy new year!!!
I think we can all learn a little lesson following your lead. Expanding horizons and embracing new things (or re-embracing the old) is probably one of the top 10 goals I've heard so far. Great approach and many happy wishes for 2009!
Have a happy one!
Happy New Year!
Good luck with branching out. This is always my own struggle... of course the broken butt is kind hindering me at the moment. ;)
I love your friends one - that's exactly what I'm trying to do and you just put it so well. However, watch out for the master cleanse one - I've heard those are actually not good for you and can be kind of dangerous.
Happy New Year!
Happy 2009! Those are great goals. Best of luck with everything. I agree with your first commenter, thank goodness for stalking...wait, I mean facebook. Great addiction, I mean social networking tool.
Happy New Year!
Your "goal" sounds like a great idea. Perhaps I could use that one myself.
Sarah said you ran the Portland Marathon.. what did you think of it? I've tenatively got it on my list!
I think you've come up with an awesome resolution! I mean there's so much you can do in each of those areas! Good thinking!
love all the goals! I am with you on mixing it up!
Love the goals! I have some friends I need to reconnect with as well...
I really like that- there's so much that you can do with broadening your horizons! Have fun getting out of your comfort zone:)
Love your tag for this post. I also like your resolutions. Mind if I borrow them? :)
*sigh*
I need to mixitup AND reconnect with friends.

Sounds like a great plan to me :-) Here's to 2009!! Whoot!
