I would love to but I have trouble sleeping so never quite make it! I will keep trying though! As for the exercise I am just finishing up month3 of p90x which is some program from a crappy infomericial but..... It's bloody excellent and I have really seen great improvements in my fitness from it... It is very hard going though. Great stuff. 8 hours….

Ironically, it's so much easier to reach our financial goals when we pay attention to them. My personal list looks almost identical to yours...except I included not being so hard on myself. That pretty much falls under the positive attitude, but I wanted to hold myself accountable for nurturing myself too :) It’s so easy to get overly focused on financial goals and ignore all the basic life needs that you listed.

I recommend it if you own a Wii or are thinking of getting one, but I also recommend STRETCHING before doing so. Not sure why, but when I go out for a run, I don't have to stretch NEARLY as much as I do when I play this particular game . . .I guess running in place uses different muscles! Great goals though!

I'll probably still hit the gym in the mornings, but I'm looking to "tweak" my remaining morning schedule to shower and head to work without returning home to eat, dress, etc. This way I can wake up a little later, and stay up a little later in the evenings. @Beth: Actually, your comment makes a lot of sense – thanks for making me rethink this.

It seems as though you'll have to go to bed earlier than usual and get up earlier and you'll have to go all the way to a gym and you'll have to devote an entire hour every day! That's more than a tweak in my book. My solution would be to go to bed a little earlier, get up later, and fit in your exercise by coming home from work and jogging in place while watching TV in the evening for 30 minutes (start with 30 minutes a day everyday not a whole hour). This would be much easier to accomplish. Or jog while listening to music. Your kids can join in and dance or whatever.
