Goals within Goals
I've still been trucking away with the gym and with eating better. I'll admit that I'm still having a difficult time getting into a constant routine. Maybe I just find that life will get boring if I wake up the same time every day and go to the gym at the same time every single day. I've been treating myself a little more than I'd like to admit lately but I haven't had a big bottle of Coke though I will tell you that I had a few rye and gingers at the Lakeland Humane Society gala on Saturday night! I'm proud of drinking so much water.
Even though I've been treating myself a little bit and not being so strict on myself, I'm making sure to get an extra portion of vegetables or fruit in before bed.
I kind of wanted to talk about "goals within goals" now too. For example, my ultimate goal is to lose weight and get healthy. I set goals while on the stationary bike! When I first started, I had a goal to go 10 miles in half an hour and burn 200 calories in that time. Now I want to be able to burn 300 calories in half an hour because I'm able to burn 200 in about 23 minutes! I am able to do 10 miles in half an hour on occasion but because I like to train for heart rate I have to up the resistance on the bike so I can get there so it's hard to go as fast so that's out of the question now (maybe).
I think it's really important to set yourself mini goals! I love seeing my fitness rate go up being able to push myself. I'm now able to finish half an hour relatively pain free in my back. I'd like to get that up to 45 minutes before the end of the year and I think things are well on their way!
