Never too late to set goals for yourself bro. Post away.
1. To not wait five months to come up with goals.
2. To exercise 3-5 times a week.
3. Walk 12-15 miles per week.
4. Lose 60 lbs by the end of the year.
5. Eat healthier
6. Make a dent in my credit card debt
7. Get a promotion through work

Cigar related
1. Smoke more of a variety of cigars
2. Don't bother saving or aging cigars...they're meant to be smoked
3. Spend less money on cigars
4. To finally get my hands on a couple of unicorn cigars...and smoke them immediately

So do #5 and #6.
I had to take out a second mortgage to pay for my wife's foray into healthier eating. The things she buys can be expensive! "Low-Fat, non-GMO and gluten-free" are apparently code for "hang onto your wallet, here it comes again."
Then again, "healthier eating" to me is to not super-size the Double Quarter Pounder meals, so what do I know.
Goals:
Re-stain the decks and the arbor.
Replace the ball joints in the truck.
Fish more. A lot more.
Join a small-group at church.
Visit my mom more often.
Jack slap my brother for selling his Boston Whaler and becoming a "kayaker."
Find out what NC vs. CC means. I'm assuming Non-Cuban vs. Cuban Cigar? Then shouldn't it be NCC vs CC?
Finish the novel.

You are right about NC vs CC - I think it's not NCC just bcuz that extra C is worthless to type lol

Personal:
1. Respond with less anger and more patience when my kids are pushing my buttons, and to remember that a)they're children, I can't expect perfection, and b)I'm supposed to be shaping their hearts, not just modifying their behaviors.
2. Engage them more; have more conversations, play more games with them, etc.
3. Help the wife grow her business and triple her revenue

Cigar related:
1. Scrimp, save, and sell enough other stuff to buy one box of Cubans each month in 2017
2. Install a vent fan in my smoking room
I've been successful so far with personal goals 1 and 2, and 3 is on schedule.

I'll add a 4th: Eat more healthy and exercise 2-3x a week; have been doing this for about 3 weeks, which is nothing. It took monumental effort to shift the family schedule so I could make time for exercise, but I'm hoping to look back on this post and find that I've been successful through the end of the year.

I have accomplished neither cigar-related goal, but #1 is now changed to "each quarter" and #2 is likely to come to fruition over the summer!
