Weekly Goals 8.24.14- 8.30.14

Have you guys felt alone and abandoned and left to set goals all by yourself?

I'm sorry. I've been lazy. Flat out that's all there is to it. I don't have a reason, an excuse. It just is what it is. Be mad or move forward.

If you are new to goals you can read the rules {here}.

Since I have 100% just been no goalin' it for the past two weeks, I am going to start some fresh ones.

1. Run 3 times this week. Morning or Night. For at least 30 minutes.
2. Vitamins. Seriously, I NEVER take them and they are important and it's not just about me. Not that it's entirely irrational but I would feel insanely stressed if we were to have a baby and I wasn't super religious about taking them.
3. Less than 44 oz. of soda a day. Pray for me on this one. It gets me through the day.

I am starting this small, but really get on my case if I bail on dedicated blogging/ getting skinny again.






I need it!

Check in with your goals, Below.

Goals :: 7.21-7.27

Let's set goals together every Sunday, k?

Here's how this works- Start with a manageable number of goals. Maybe 1 goal a week is enough to add to your plate right now. Maybe you want 7. It's whatever you choose. {Side Note: I like odd numbers, 7 is actually my favorite. But I also like to be sporadic.} And really. It's whatever. BUT, if you don't accomplish your goal this week, you have to ADD it to next week's goal list. See how I did that?. Get it done and get it off the list! Pick goals that work for you. My goals probably won't work for most people. That's okay. We can all be different. Weird, right?

Just make it manageable!

I think a lot of folk have a tendency to create these huge goals then when we don't accomplish them we feel all fat friend like and give up on ourselves!

Helpful Hints//Cheats
1. If you feel overwhelmed, give yourself something you already do.
      - I am so not above adding "brush teeth" to my Saturday chore list. Then when I do it I can cross it off and feel that much better.
This isn't for everyone, it's a personality flaw of "list makers"
2. It doesn't all have to be exercise. Be real. What do you want to be doing better?
3. Make it manageable. For example- "loose 5 pounds" probably isn't for most people. However, "drink 2 extra glasses of water each day" may be for most people.

So, my weeks goals are:
1. Work out 4 times this week.
     -I've been mostly decent with running 3 days but this old girl needs to do some cross training.
2. Pack a healthy lunch 2 days this week.
    -Laugh away, but I eat out 5 days a week. To go from 5---0 in a week is too much so 2 is my go to number.
3. WATER- 1 glass before running or shower everyday.
   -I'm probably going to have a goal associated with water in some way for the rest of my life. I think water is stupid and I love soda. My attitude isn't changing. I'm not automatically going to start craving it so turning it into habit it is.

Novel's almost over. YOU are accountable for YOU. If you need an accountability team- find a friend, tell the significant other, journal it for the grandkids to find, or comment below. Bottom line: only you will know if you cheat and don't repeat a goal. So, just don't do it.

♡
Good Luck!
