Goals

OK, I guess something stuck from my years in Young Women (as student, teacher, presidency member). I know that in order for a goal to be realized, you have to write it down.

Some of you may have noticed the goals I posted on my blog. I had to write them somewhere. I need to be accountable and frequently reminded. My amazing husband is awesome about encouraging reminders. Amazingly enough, I don't hate him for telling me to get off my lazy butt and get to exercising- maybe it's because he says "cute and busy" butt instead of "saggy and lazy". There's also him there to remind me of my carrot.

I'm glad that he is there to encourage and help, but I know that the only person who can help me meet my goals is myself. I have to decide what I want to do, and what I think qualifies. Nobody can tell me if the bike ride I took the girls on was enough to be considered a thirty-minute workout.

And, so, I have written down my goals, and I would encourage you to ask about them. Just don't ask what happens if one of them disappears from my list!

I'm glad to report that, so far, I've been doing better since I posted them. I have fallen asleep in my bed before 11pm every night this week, and I have met half my exercise goal this week. Of course, I did rationalize last night that it was only 8:40pm so I could still have a snack because it was in the eight o'clock hour. Notice I put the time zone on my goal? I guess I missed that one.

I'm glad that I can start over today!
