Last year, my resolution wasn’t specific.  I want to be strong and healthy.  It worked, in a way.  I’m healthier than I have been in years, but I’m not sure I would call myself healthy.  I’m thinner than I was last year, but I’m not thin.  I didn’t fail, but I didn’t succeed.

A problem with what I did last year is that there is no way to measure it.  Technically I am stronger, I am healthier, but I know in my mind that there was a goal, and I know I didn’t hit it.  But when I look back to last year, technically, I did succeed.

This year, I want there to be measurable goal.  I’m not going to make a list, I’m just going to pick three.  Three measurable goals.

1.) Hit 140 lbs

2.) Run a 10K

3.) Hold a handstand

That’s it.  Those are my two goals.

I’m usually overwhelmed by lists.  I get motivated, so I sit down and make a list of all the things I want.  I try to work towards every single one every day, and it becomes a lot of work.  I get stressed at work, and then it’s all left behind.  I’m not crazy about new years resolutions, which is why last year when I decided to make one, I went vague.  I’m happy that I’ve made progress on those resolutions, but it’s hard to celebrate something you don’t really think you made.

This year, I will hit my goals.  Three goals.  Three things to do.  But most importantly, is working on one will help with the others.  I don’t have to juggle all different steps.  If I work on one, I will be working on the others.  If I focus on one, the others will follow.

Good luck this year everything!!
