As per most challenges there are rules and part of this one is to list at least 3 goals you want to accomplish. Usually I add a weight loss goal - one that lists lbs lost. I am not doing that this time because the pounds lost aren't as important to me right now as getting my mind and body into the right place.
I've created a page with my goals listed so that I can easily review them (my sidebar is cluttered enough). So based on them, I will being doing an update every week on what I am doing to accomplish those goals. This will also help me in accomplishing my organization goal. Keeping a tab on them helps me keep it going.
So here they are for my opening Hot 100 post:
- Nuture my Body, Soul & Mind
- I really need to spend some Me, Myself & I time every day and focus on grounding myself. When I am not grounded I find I swing all over the place. I'm unorganized, stressed, a little more negative towards myself and possibly judgemental to others.
- Put 110% effort into my 3x strength training sessions, and 3x Interval cardio sessions
- In the last 2 years, I do not feel like I have worked at my hardest during my workouts. I've just been going through the motions. Now somedays my body aches, and my muscles are sore but I still feel I could do more. I am going to try to do my absolute best without burning myself out. And in order to not burn out, I need to make sure that goal #1 is a priority.
- 90/10 rule for eating.
90% of the time I want to eat organic, clean, healthy meals. As few chemicals as possible. 10% (or less) of the time will be my leeway. Those times where either the supply isn't available or I just need a "free" meal. I loathe to grant myself a free "DAY" as I can quickly undo everything I have gained during the previous six days of eating 100% on track.- Track at least 10,000 steps every single day.
- Everyday is not too much of a stretch. Even on easy days where all I want to do is walk, then I will walk 10,000 steps worth. That's only about an hour of walking really. It can be done.
Stop being wasteful.- Sometimes at the end of the week I throw out more bad fruit and veggies than I should be. I need to learn to only buy what I need for a couple of days and then make sure I eat it. I hate waste and I sometimes over-buy a product and it goes bad by the time I eat it. I live close to a groccery store so I should only buy a couple of days worth.

Great goals Sandra. I especially like the last one. I too am guilty of throwing out too many perishables. It's such a tricky balance when there's only two in the house. Buy enough for a week or buy enough for a few days which means an extra trip to the grocery (dislike!).
ReplyDeleteAs I told someone yesterday, after weeks of throwing produce away, I bought less for this week. Guess what? Mr. Helen has wanted a salad every day. Sigh.
Hi, I came over from the Hot 100...looking forward to tracking your success! I am impressed with your goals, very all-encompassing. Mine all involve weight loss, probably because I am obsessed with losing weight (and not good obsessed sometimes).

I really like your goals, too! I hadn't even thought about the one, not being wasteful! That happens to me... I want to work on that, too.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are a Hottie, too!

Sandra, I am glad you joined in again this year! The best of luck to you in achieving all your goals!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it!
Welcome to the challenge. I love all of your goals especially the first and last goal. I'm a culprit of not taking care of myself spiritually, emotionally, and physically. I hope you are successful in all of your goals and I can't wait to follow them.
ReplyDeleteStopped by from the challenge. Those are great goals! I am already thinking about changing mine.
