When I set out on my weight loss journey, I had three fitness goals in mind.\u00a0 All three seems pretty reasonable when I set them:<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0 Fit into normal sized clothes all the time.<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0 Be able to come up and down the stairs in my apartment without having to catch my breath.<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0 Run the one mile loop in the park across the street.<\/p>\n
Within my first year, I was able to meet all three goals.\u00a0 But, just because I’m in maintenance phase now doesn’t mean I don’t need goals.\u00a0 Now there are so many things I can do, I get annoyed by things I can’t do.\u00a0 So here’s the new list for the next year:<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0 Be able to do 5 pull ups unassisted, (I’m currently still using 50 pounds of assistance at the gym)<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0 Run a half marathon (WHAT?!? I get nervous even typing it!\u00a0 I just finished my first 5k)<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0 Hike a fourteener (that’s a mountain with an elevation of 14,000 feet for the flat landers, I’m currently up to hiking about 4 hours)<\/p>\n
I’m most nervous about training for a half marathon.\u00a0 I think this will be the hardest for me to meet, but that’s the point.\u00a0 These are just goals and I have a whole year to meet them.\u00a0 What happens if I don’t? Nothing!<\/p>\n
Make sure you set goals for yourself along your journey.\u00a0 It gives me a huge sense of accomplishment and a way to measure how far I’ve come.\u00a0 When picking your goals I would recommend that you pick three different levels.\u00a0 Something that seems pretty attainable, something that seems reasonable but hard and something that seems nearly impossible.<\/p>\n
