My goals:

Thanks to my gym closing, the holidays and vacation I haven't had enough time for anything recently. So I'll find out where I am and update everyone on my starting point!
 
2 marathons. One at sub 4:00 pace. (My last one was 5 hours. I need to use gels better). I'm going to do milwaukee and I need to find a may/june marathon.

run 4 half marathons. My last one was 1:54. I'm shooting for a PR of 1:40.

bring weight training into my running routine.

Do track workouts EVERY week to help build speed/endurance.


EDIT:8/4/09- ran a half 2 days ago at 1:45 PR.I've got another in a month.
 
back is doing fine. shoulder still a little weak, gonna be in PT getting that worked on.

my main goal this year is to pick up where i left off last year, and gain 10lbs.

strength goals: 315squat
bench: get it back over/around 200, which is mostly getting my shoulder back strong, then i can work from there

i'd like to get my C&J/dead up, but i'll see how my back is first, then set reasonable goals from there. squat also dependent on my back strength
 
Run half marathon (full thing next year)
Get a six pack -- guessing I need to drop about 5-10 lbs to do it
Drink less booze
No cigarettes ("social smoker", smoke only when I booze, but haven't for the past few weeks)
Start Stronglift 5x5, get to 1.0x bw squat
Eat healthier. More home cooked meals, bring lunch to work, eat breakfast from home every day.
 
I have to start small here... never been one for exercise.

Park my car 1/2 mile from my house (if this proves too easy, bump it to a mile). Insures I must walk at least 1 mile during work days.
 
My goal in general is to get stronger, put on muscle mass and just get more powerful in general. I found that I was doing too much cardio last year and not eating enough, hence my strength gains were meager at best. My shoulders, back and biceps have seen improvement but my bench press and legs are still the weakest part :frown:

Hm, even if you were eating at caloric maintenance, you should have still gotten stronger. What kind of program were you doing? What exercises? How many sets/reps?
 
Aight, I though I should share my goals for 2009 too:

-loose 50lbs, or my belly, witch ever comes first
-Biking St-Jacques to Edmundston in 12 minutes (it's getting from a city to another, I have a video on youtube with that name)
-1000KM of biking this summer (did aprox 450 last summer)

Last year I did quit Pepsi&Coca Cola, and replaced it with water 😀, this year, I wanna eat better food.


The only problem right now, I hate winter 🙁 it's killing me.
 
goal1: lose 50 lbs (250-200)
goal2: build muscle mass (after/between spurts of goal1)
 
Goal 1: Deadlift 495 with clean form
Goal 2: Run a 14:00 2-mile
Goal 3: 60 pushups in 2 minutes for Army PT test
Goal 4: Shed some fat, then get back up to 255
Goal 5: Stick with my 40/40/20 diet for a while
Goal 6: 10 pullups with a 25 pound plate
Goal 7: Compete in a Chicago area stair climb
Goal 8: Squat 375, why not. I need to get back into squats.
 
My goals:
Eat healthier, right now my diet consists of soda and poptarts.
Run under 53.0 seconds for a split in my 4x400m relay.
Run under 23.5 seconds for a split in my 4x200m relay.
Run under 11.5 for a split in my 4x100m relay.

Oh really? Are you in high school? And what state are you in?
 
My goal of 170 by April 17th is extremely unlikely considering it's in a day and I have about 9-10lbs over that. I have, however, been working out quite consistently and effectively since January. Weight loss is slow, but it is happening. I'm doing a good bit of weights and a great deal of cardio. I'm working out at least once/day, and a minimum of 30 min cardio on top of the weights. Cardio is either swimming, biking, or running now. Knee is doing ok considering. My problem remains my love of food, but at least my working out is going well. Have, I think, reached another evolutionary point with my swim stroke, so I'm getting to be as good there as ever, and I'm in a good point for this early in the year with my bike strength.
 
I would like to weigh around 190 by the end of June, I need to gain about 10lbs between now and then.
I would like to continue going to the gym and maintaining my diet over the summer while working my 6 day a week 16 hour a day farm job.
Improve all of my PR's I have set so far.

196 today at about 10, and still bulking. Doing higher reps on benching right now, but should be closing in on 300 bench. I may be able to get that pullup goal right now, and about 450 on deads. Not sure on Squats as I'm only doing 10 rep stuff right now on them.
 
I guess I should've posted back in early January, but I've been dieting since then and have gone from 262 lbs. to 216 lbs. as of this morning.

My goal is to be ~185 lbs. (I'm 6'1") by the end of the year and to possibly start some strength training. I've got a rowing machine on the way and plan to start using that 3-4 times a week to help build strength and work on my cardio. I may also get a bike and ride that around in state parks if I'm feeling frisky.

I was around 250 lbs and got down to 195 lbs ~5 years ago, and then ballooned back up to 262 lbs. I refuse to let that happen again. NEVER AGAIN!
 
Went from 250 to 195 in the past 5 months

I've been lifting every day since school let out for the summer. I would like to put on muscle, and look better.
 
Simply, to remember and to work for my resolutions not only for this tear, but also for the coming years. . Setting resolution is not a tough task, but to follow those is the toughest one.
 
My resolution was to lose weight. I was tired of being out of breath after climbing 3 flights of stairs.

I stopped eating at fast food places and started eating healthier. I took up tennis and dancing. I switched from dark beers to light beers.

I dropped from 205 to 165 and can actually see my abs now instead of a beer gut

I had no goals in 2008.
