Blog fail. again.

Well, so much for being better at blogging!  Clearly this is not something I'm cut out for. Since I apparently suck at remembering to do it, I'm going to try something new.  I'm setting a reminder in  my phone.  It works for other things, maybe it will work for this. 

What have I done lately for goals?  Not a whole heck of a lot.  I've been doing free rice a little bit.  I hit 400K today, and I'm going to do some more before I go to bed.  I went through a patch where I was being good and doing it regularly, but that fell apart a bit lately.  We'll have to see how it goes. 

Today I made myself sit down and evaluate my weight.  I am currently the heaviest I have ever been.  I'm not much heavier than I was when I started, but I am still heavier.  I don't think I have enough time to get within the prescribed healthy range for my height by the time that the goals end.  Instead I'm going to try for being 7 pounds lighter by then.  That's approximately a pound a week, which is manageable and can be done in a healthy way. 

I've been trying to get motivated about doing the goals, but it's been so long since I set them.  They aren't all important to me anymore.  Or I've realized that the goal that I set was a bit ridiculous - either not meaningful, or not really achievable when considered with the other goals.  I also really underestimated the amount of time that I would have to put into the goals.  Although that may also be that since I've become disillusioned with them, I am no longer making time.  A bit of a catch-22. 

This did lead me to think of a different way to go about the goals, in general.  I was previously considering doing it again, and setting another 101 goals.  I even started a list.  But I think instead, I might break it down. Set mini goal lists instead of a mega list.  Every 100 days, set 10 goals that I want to accomplish.  Similar to a to-do list in a way, but it wouldn't have any normal, day-to-day things.  With a shorter list and a shorter time frame, I think I would feel more pressure to get them done right away, instead of putting them off because I have so much time left.  Each set of goals would also be a lot more relevant to my life at the time, and there would be less risk of circumstances changing while I was in the middle of a set.  Coming up with 10 goals is also a lot less daunting than 101!
