I’m so bad about keeping up with my Goals. I write them out, state that I’m going to do them every week and that works fine for one, maybe two weeks, but then I forget. I think goals are important because then you have something to strive towards, a sense of accomplishment when you reach it. I think that is why I keep joining the challenges – and some of them I never finish because I forget to send in my numbers but I’ve never finished trying.
I read some comments in Facebook this morning and they were talking about setting short term goals, and in my head my Number ONE goal to work on this week is to NOT eat after 7:30 p.m. I tend to eat something before bed just out of habit more than a need so I was going to identify that goal on here for the rest of this week.
Then I read my horoscope on my iGoogle and it states:
Tuesday, June 23
You should be feeling extremely sociable at the moment, and you can probably expect an awful lot of activity on the social scene before the day is through. Don't be afraid to make a fresh start with a few of your friends today. And you really ought to spend a little time thinking about some of your most important goals right now as well.
The last line says it all. Too many coincidences here to ignore so here I go:
Short Term Goals:
Week June 22nd – NO eating after 7:30 p.m.
Week June 29th – Exercise EVERY day (I’ll be out camping so this could be a bit of a challenge), eat as healthy and clean as I possibly can.
Week July 6th – Unknown at this time.
Long Term Goals:
Walk/Jog 75 Miles per month (increase each month by 5 miles) (I’ve been increasing my running by one minute each week so it should be easy enough to add 5 miles for month).
** Lose 45 lbs (or wherever my body is comfortable).
** I am a large boned gal and 140 lbs might just not be an attainable goal for me if I have a lot of lean muscle mass (wishful thinking maybe??).
I have no idea at this point but I’m sure going to try. I’m only 5’2” so I should be able to do 140 or less.
Do you have short term and long term goals?

I love goals! I am all about writing them down, but like you I don't always keep up with them. Doing a weekly update has helped me a lot this month, but I also like your idea of just picking one goal per week to work on.
ReplyDeleteMy long term goals are to lose 30 more pounds, run a 10 minute mile, lose at least 5 more inches from my wasit, and increase the weights I use from 8 pounds to 12 and 15 pounds.
I can only dream about a 10 minute mile at this point of my jogging career but one day I will do it :)
ReplyDeleteI like your goals.
Great goals you have there! And even better to have them written out!!
ReplyDeleteMy short term are habit/lifestyle-based like yours, and my long term goal is to achieve my dream body. Like throw on a t-shirt and old jeans and look and FEEL like a model. mahaha
Goals.....?
ReplyDeleteI still want to get down to 150. Fit in at least a size 10 jean. I'm a 12 now. Tone everything up as much as possible. And just keep on keeping on. I want to run more half marathons , collect more bling bling. Make running so much a part of my life i'd be lost with out it.
Dont' forget your froggie weigh in tomorrow. (Friday). ONly a few more weeks left! Let your hope float girl! Jinx!
