have a productive 2008

Okay so as far as this personal challenge goal goes it is won as I’ve since meet the 95% benchmark specified in the conditions of my first post about this goal. The only 2 goals that remain on the full list are weight loss related for which as of today I am only 6.5 pounds from meeting. So it looks like even with a medication working against me I might be able to go all the way and make it a 100% by the end of the year.

Wow the year is not even a quarter of the year over yet and I’m already 51% of the way done. At this point it looks like the only thing that could stop me from making the 95% or higher benchmark could be the weight loss goals that make up the list, as even if I complete every other non-weight loss goal I’ll still have to get my total weight loss to 40 pounds or higher.

I just noticed that I’m already 25% through this challenge and the second month of the year isn’t even over yet. Still a good number of the remaining goals are going to take a bit more work, but there are still a few easy ones although 3 of them have to wait till summer to be knocked out.

Looking back at what really matters its upsetting how little I got accomplished in 2007 so its time to up the stakes with a personal challenge and my list of 43 things that I am going to do in 2008 which is a mix of both important and trivial goals to accomplish in the year to come. For the purpose of the challenge I’ll call it won as long as I complete at least 95% of the list by the end of the year.
