How I did it
How to get my motorcycle license
It took me
2 months
It made me

How I did it: First and foremost I took my State's Rider Safety and Education course.  If you're going to ride and be safe it all starts with you.Then me, well, actually my boyfriend more than me, tooled around the InterWebs looking for good first motorcycle deals.  I wound up buying a 2005 Honda Shadow 600 V-twin, customized.  Good for local and commuting (work) travel for my area.  Yay!

How to buy a new car
It took me
3 weeks
It made me
Vrooooom.

How I did it: First, I focused.  I narrowed down my wants, compared them to my needs and then compared them to my accessibility.I was realistic, did a lot of my own footwork instead of waiting for dealerships to dictate my options and wound up getting what I wanted.It helps to have money saved, a steady and secure job, and the wherewithall to budget years in advance.

Satisfied!

How I did it: I worked many, many hours.  I setup bank accounts to hold these extra monies.  I set a schedule.  I had endless support from family, friends and even friends of friends.The proudest of all this is the fact that I am in no debt because of it.**Update - 07.02.09 photo - 3 months into healing** Read how I did it…

Commit to working harder on my abdominal muscles (read all 6 entries…)
Whoa! Finally!

Alright. So I don’t write this while I sit here with a 6-pack stomach. Instead I sit here as an active participant in my own life and aware of the increase in [core] strength and physical symmetry that I am creating with my sticktoituitive-ness.

In a couple of months I’ll post some side-by-side comparison shots. I’ve lost 25 lbs over the last 3 months and I have roughly 20 more to go. With the work I’m putting in I should really see things start poppin’ over the next 6 months.

Boo-yeah.

I suppose...

... what my actual goal was to work on getting in better shape and changing my lifestyle. I’ve done that by other means, so in my book that means that I’m done with this goal.

Commit to working harder on my abdominal muscles (read all 6 entries…)
Personally Trained

Soooooo….

I never worked very much on this and if I think really hard about it I don’t recall any point in my life during which I worked very hard on my abdominal muscles specifically… even when I weighed a considerable amount less because of other working out.

Recently I’ve employed the assistance of a personal trainer and in laying out my [end-result] goals to him I am forced to work on said abdominal muscles. The good thing is that he shows me more than crunches and I love an option.

We shall see.
