A friend of mine on facebook asked if we have our goals written down. I started thinking about my goals and realized that I did have them written down in several places that were all buried somewhere - in a blog, in a notebook. I didn't have any written down where I could see them, so I dug out my old notebook and found my New Year's Resolutions to see if I'm at least on track there.
1) Complete a sprint triathlon.
Well, after attending a triathlon meeting I realized that I am no where near ready to do one of those yet, they totally scared me away. I do however think that after spending some time on my bike this spring/summer that by fall I could do one of those run/bike/run events. That would be fun!
2) Eat clean.
I'm still hit or miss with this one. I have all the books above the computer, I have all the sites bookmarked, and yet, I'm still no closer to eating 100%% clean. Every week I get better though. We are definitely eating better then we have in a long time, and we're enjoying the benefits from it!
3) Eat out once a month. Only exception is Starbuck's which is only once a week.
We did great with this one in January and February. We fell off the wagon in March, but have gotten back on track this month. Every time we eat out we say we can do so much better on our own, and we really can, so we are trying to focus on this one more as well.
4) Build up a savings.
Always a work in progress, but better now then we were last year.
5) Pay down debt.
Tax return payed off all of our debt, so we have been building savings with that money. Slowly, but surely.
6) Get to 150 lbs.
Now this one is a lot harder for me. I so badly want to get out of the 170's right now. In February I couldn't wait to get out of the 180's, and then finally it happened. Now, I have been bouncing back and forth between 175-178 for weeks. I need to start logging my food again, I always do so much better when I'm aware of what I'm putting into my mouth. This ties back into the clean eating. I need to be smarter about my choices especially after a workout. It's never good to look for food when you are hungry, it's so much better to have your list of options ready to go. Menus work well for me, I don't know why they go to the wayside.
7) Find a school and program for health and fitness.
I still want to pursue this goal. I think that no matter where Chris gets stationed I will be able to use this skill. I'm not sure if I want to look into nutritionist or trainer. I'm not a very good example of either right now, but someday all the errors and backtracking will help me help others.
8) Date nights and no computer after 930pm.
Well we've managed one date day for our wedding anniversary (thank you Crystal!). And, well, um, as far as the whole no computer after 930, um, yea, that lasted about a week. It's 11 right now and I'm still up blogging and playing.
Tomorrow I'm going to hunt for my Fitness goals and I'll blog on that one. I just started with the one I could find - LOL!
