I’m a strong believer in the power of the written word, and that if you want to achieve anything, you must write down your goals. It’s a little like documentation and defining requirements for a software project, in life if you haven’t written down what you want, you’re missing the requirements document of your life. I did the same thing last year, so let’s try it again this year.

1. Lose Weight: I will be 30 years old this year. I’d like to be down to what I weighed when I was 17 and graduated high school, which is 175. I’m 205 right now, so I got 30 pounds to lose. It’s not too hard of a goal I think, it’s around 3 lbs per month (Birthday is in September). It took me 11 years to get to 205, and since then I’ve ‘maintained’ it, now I’ll try to cut it down. Maybe, Cal, Ben and I can start a PHP Weight Watchers group and give each other support
2. Read more books. I read 5 books last year, that’s 3 more than the year before. I’m doing good.
3. Save more : Last year, I had decided to double my savings, I did that, now I’ll try to do the same..
4. Rewrite Binder : This was in the 2007 list as well, I didn’t complete it, so it’s here again.
5. Write an iPhone App: This is a mutation of the write an OS X app.

That’s it, some of the items from last years list were completed, and some remain, so I’ll be combining last years and this years list as one. I encourage my readers to give me crap and push me to achieve my goals. I know I’ll be pushing Cal and Ben on the weight loss.
