DAY 71: Short-term goals & milestones

bahhhhh

Okay. You, lady, are just my favorite. I needed to read this blog post SO MUCH. Quite a lot of your milestones are mine, as well. I'm going to write mine out, to remind me why I'm doing this and also to check them off. I can't believe I haven't done this. The airplane seat-- so hard. Public seating with arm rests, just in general, give me anxiety. Rollercoaster-- check (although, I didn't even have the guts to try, I just said I didn't like rollercoasters. But I do. A lot.) Crossing legs, closing towels, all of this. All of this. The reward system, well, I just don't know. I reward myself with stuff without method, like a toddler, so I never feel rewarded by my rewards. I have been planning to, when I lose enough weight to participate well, join a barre fitness class. And maybe, just maybe, a pole dancing fitness class. I love the idea of barre, and all the strength and work that it requires, but I am not physically capable of doing it right now. So that's kind of a reward, I suppose. I'm learning-- well, I knew, but I'm remembering-- that I need constant inspiration to keep me, uh, inspired. I have been neglecting blogging, neglecting reading blogs, neglecting researching and constantly striving for improvement. I got comfortable-- bored, like you said. And that knocked me down. Your blog (and Alice's earlier today) both just re-lit the fire. Thank you! I feel ready to create some new goals and plans and successes. I wish I was more helpful for you, but all I have is gratitu

AND, I didn't ever even think to look at my miles per month. It was very enlightening. I'm averaging about 100/month. I can absolutely do better than that. I'm pumped to make a new workout plan that involves more miles. That's a totally attainable, manageable, trackable (I love graphs, and tracking, and office supplies, so I'm very excited) plannable thing. Yay!

I'm the same way! I geek out over stats, numbers, trends, office supplies, planning materials, organization, AAAAH! Like you, I have things I want to do on the fitness front, but my stamina isn't there yet because I'm still working up to it. I'm really glad you got some kind of spark from this post, and I'm also really glad you can relate to some of the embarrassing limitations that have now become milestones for us to break through. I can't wait to hear what goals you design for yourself and which obstacles you bust through along the way!
