I like Sarah’s idea of having quarterly goals. I didn’t get around to New Year’s resolutions, so here are my goals for the next 12 weeks.
1.) Finish knitting the Aran sweater I’ve been working on for my brother.
2.) Exercise at least 3 times per week every week.
3.) Run a 5K
4.) Pay down mortgage 25K
I think that’s enough for now. My plan is to try and run Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. However, it’s definitely tough running three days in a row, and every day I don’t have to work. Therefore, I’m also trying to add a midweek workout, probably either a workout video or a run around the neighborhood now that it’s staying light later. I just tried Jillian Michaels’ 30 day shred, and I am stretched out on the bed exhausted. I guess that means it was good for me.
Quarterly goals work better for me than yearly, but I’ve actually been thinking of switching to monthly! I need things on a short time scale or else I forget about them. 🙂
