I was feeling under the weather yesterday and unfortunately I let that keep me from setting or accomplishing any goals for the day. Honestly it was a bit of self-sabotage, which unfortunately seems to be a theme for me. If I think back a lot of times in my life when I would be doing well, or on the road to accomplishing something for myself I would more often than not do something to sabotage that, or find an excuse to quit on something, or "take a break". This can be a hard thing to admit or face up to, and even harder to deal with, which in turn has a bit of a downward spiral effect.
I often tell my students, "Don't focus on what you do wrong, if you make a mistake forget about it and move on. Focus on what you do right and the improvements you make." Well I'm going to do my best to take my own advice. On day 1 I accomplished my goal. Today my goal is the same, to get 2 workouts in.
The daily goals should also be tools used to accomplish greater goals. This weeks end goal is to not drink any alcohol or sugary drinks, and to lose 8 lbs through working out and making healthy adjustments to my diet. I was hesitant to write down my weekly goals as I am a bit nervous about accomplishing them, but I think it needs to be done as a way to help with accountability and to gauge progress.
