When I say short term, I'm talking within 3 months. I'm trying to set short
term goals for myself in 3 month intervals that way I can keep a better gauge on
where I'm at. I also have super short term goals which are weekly or monthly
goals. Like doing x amount of lunges or squats or walking x amount of miles
in a week. I just cannot get the hang of this running thing, at least for now
I'm gonna do power walks and maybe eventually work myself up to running.
Who knows we'll see.
There is an outdoor gym just over 2 miles from my house. I think it is exactly 2.2 miles. My short term goal is to be able to walk to the gym, get some decent arm and leg workouts in, and walk back to the house.
Last night I had my husband drop me off at the gym (his knee is bum right now) and told him I would just walk home. There is a huge hill (huge for me, elev. is about 120 ft) shortly after I started my walk back to the house and I completely underestimated how much that would take out of me. I got halfway back to the house and had to have my husband come and pick me up. I just couldn't take it anymore.
I really need to work on pushing myself more too. I know my head is giving out way before my body is and it's making me mad. I have to find a way to make myself work through the pain. I will never see results if I keep doing things the way I'm doing them now.
I can really tell that I haven't had hardly any activity whatsoever in the past year. A couple years ago a mile or 2 wouldn't have really bothered me that much and now 1/2 a mile and I feel like I'm dying. I push through until I hit at least a mile but seriously! I can't wait to start seeing this progress!
