Pin It
I've become complacent. I reached goal. I reached lifetime status. I've fit into single digit clothing sizes (some brands, at least). Part of me is smug. I did it and I'm smug. But I'm afraid smugness is going to get me into trouble. I need a mission. I need a new goal. I've found myself eating things I would not normally eat (let's just call it Canada Day long weekend without going into details). I know I gained this week. And I know it's bad. I'm still within the "safe" zone with WW, but this is not a good direction to be headed in. So that's the plan...I need a mission/goal.
One goal I would like to accomplish is learning to run a 5K. I have the tools needed to get started (sneakers, the Coach to 5K podcast and a healthy body with which to run), but I don't feel like that's the mission I need. I was online last night looking at various fitness books/programs and I saw a few that piqued my interest - one was called something like101 stability ball routines and another one was 100 strength training routines. I think maybe my new mission will be to choose one of these avenues and work towards 100 new routines in one year. What do you think? I think this will also help me with my blogging, which I have been seriously negligent in keeping up with lately. Have any of you tried any "XX whatever in XX days" plans? What did you do? Send me your ideas, please!!
I think this week's mission will be bringing my lunch 4/5 days to work (been slacking in this area BIG TIME) and limiting myself to buying my coffee twice. I have to start somewhere!

Does it have to be a fitness goal?
What about trying the whole30 challenge?
Or something completely different like learning a new language or hobby or setting debt reduction goals or aiming to reduce food waste or reading through the Bible? There are lots of things to set your sights on!
I think it's normal to "loosen up" a little after reaching a goal. Good for you for not becoming too complacent - you won't let yourself go backwards. But you have to keep moving forwards too with new challenges!
I think it has to be food and/or fitness related to keep me on track. What is this whole30 challenge you mentioned??? I will have to google it :)
Try 100 push-ups in 100 days. Or 3/4/5 exercise WW GDT boards (exercise 3 days a week for 3 weeks, then 4 days a week for the next 4 weeks, then 5 days a week for the next 5 weeks). I have been lifetme for 8 years...weightloss is easy compared to lifetime! I do find that challenges help me along.

Thanks!!
What about something like belly dancing, canoeing, tennis, karate, taekwondo or ball room dancing. A/Ann
