Pre-season Task #3 - Goal setting

I REALLY struggled with this task, but finally had a break through last night & managed to get something on paper.

By the end of the program I will;

• weigh no more than 77kg

Each day I will;

• eat within the 1200 calorie limit
• exercise for 1 hour minimum
• prepare the next day's lunch & snacks while cooking dinner
• maintain the veggie patch
• walk a minimum of 10,000 steps

Fitness indicators for the 12 weeks;

• Swim 2km
• Run 5km*
• Ride 10km
• Walk 10km
• 10 toe pushups*
• 50 crunches

*back recovery dependent - but dreaming big!

I will push my social comfort zone by;

• attending a group fitness class
• weekly FB group event
• commenting on 5 new blogs each week

And to curb my workaholic tendencies;

• Limit of 40 hours per week
• 3 or less desk-bound days per week

I'm stuck beyond the 12 week mark with the exception of reaching my goal weight (72 - 75kg) & making sure that the daily habits above are just a part of my life (as Mich says "like brushing your teeth or taking a shower").

The invaluable thing for me in this exercise was realising the fact that I have a GREAT life, and have achieved more than I ever dreamed possible.  I've got great friends, not heaps of friends, but I dearly value the ones I do have. The man is AMAZING. The home we've created together is a haven. I'm challenged daily in my work.  My kids are leading happy, healthy & purposeful lives. The only thing missing has been my health - but that's changing at a great rate.  Life is good.  And if it doesn't get any better than this, well that's fine by me.
