I don’t talk about it much here. To be honest – there is a lot that I don’t talk about much here. But I am trying to get more of these thoughts and things that I do down in my blog. One of the things I do is I set little goals for myself, but not tell them to anyone. One of the stupid things I do is make sure that these little goals are hard – I like to go overboard so when I fail, I can really be mad at myself. Yes, my brain is SO much fun. Since I know this about myself, I have been trying to recognize when I am trying to sabatoge myself and set a more realistic goal.

Anyway, a few weeks ago I set a new workout goal for myself – work out 4 times a week for 6 weeks and see how I feel. I am hoping I like it enough to re-set the goal after the 1st 6 weeks for another 6 weeks so on and so forth. My end goal – that I have NOT set yet is to be working out 5x a week in the mornings before work.

So why wait until now to blog about it? Well, for one thing, I wanted to see if I could do it or at least stick to it sort of and, two, if I didn’t tell anyone, including my blog (in my mind you are all collectively one big person, I know I am strange) about it, and if I didn’t do it, there was no one to be accountable for it.

See? No one knew I set this goal. Oh sure, J could probably tell you that I have been working out more, or more often than before, but he’d have nothing firm to base that on, just what he’s noticed – and to be honest – I don’t think he pays that much attention (good!) to it. But now, I am starting on my 4th week of my 6 week goal and I am making it. I am actually doing it. I have had 3 weeks of working out 4 times a week. I don’t set times or days – just that I need to work out 4 times in a week. I consider a week Sunday to the next Saturday.

But now, I am also tired. So I am now telling you about it to be accountable…I am hoping this is the push I need to finish up the next couple of weeks. We’ll see. I’ll report back on my progress on this goal – and my end goal. I am not looking to be super slim – just more fit so I can run after the wild banshees that live in my house!!
