    1, Get Divorce absolute.
    2, Sell house and move out
    3, Once out of house (going to rented) start looking and hopefully buy new home for myself and daughter.
    4, Put on at least 2 thirds of the weight I have lost on the divorce diet.
    5, Regain some stability to rebuild a fantastic new life for the two of us.

    Those are my main aims for the year. Once they are achieved getting some money back into savings, a new (2nd hand ;-) ) car, exploring opportunities at work and possibly seeking a new relationship would be nice but one step at a time!!! I've not done the whole dating thing since I was a teenager and am petrified, I feel perfectly able to do all the rest however long it all takes.

    I want to:

    1. Maintain my weight loss and continue to tone up

    2. Improve my flexibility and strength

    3. Declutter my house and tackle nagging tasks

    4. Streamline my finances and live within my budget

    5. Continue to devote at least 3 hours a week to my professional development

    6. To build stronger relationships with friends and family

    I'm pleased that mostly it's about continuing to bed down behaviours that I've already established :)

    Good thread!!
