Lazy Daisy

i don't know what happened. I mean, I do. Life. We are selling our home. We are moving to FL in less than a month. Barry works a lot. I can give you a gazillion reasons but not one valid one. I've been lazy. I've been distracted. I've put myself on the back burner. My diet has been out of control. My exercise nearly non existent. I've put on a few pounds in the month since we have been home from Florida.

I'm commuting now to be better. Not perfect, because perfection doesn't exist. I am going to run tonight. After the kids are in bed I will take that time that I usually spend doing who knows what and focus on me. I know it'll be hard. I will be discouraged because I used to be so much faster, stronger, have so much more endurance.

I know that I will be stronger after running than I am now. I will feel better. Have more focus. Sleep better. For me if I exercise my diet follows. One without the other doesn't work.

Tonight I have a date with my treadmill and that lifetime movie I dvr'd.

It's all relative...

So, weight. I know I've talked a little bit about it before but today was the last day/first day of an 8 week fitness challenge.

I successfully lost 9 lbs in 8 weeks. (To be honest with you and myself, I'm back down to my lowest weight of the summer.)

I should be happy or feel like I've accomplished something. I don't. I feel sort of lost? Where do I go from here? I feel more confident in my skin, more comfortable with my body. I'm active and not static. I don't necessarily want to lose more weight but I need goals. Achieving my weight loss goal should leave me with some feeling of accomplishment or success but it doesn't.

What kind of goals can I have that aren't weight specific? Fitness goals that are SMART like my friend Brooke says, Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely?

I have another friend that's super organized. I think being prepared and meal planning will be one of my goals. Plan the dinners for one week M-F. (so far so good! Kalua Pork, Taco Wraps, Baked Chicken, Mahi Mahi and Practical Paleo Salmon Cakes.)

Finish a w60 is a SMART goal.

I need more.

I need your help. Can you give me your best SMART fitness goals?
