New month, new chart! These goals were supposed to start on the 1st and I’m sticking with that, even though that means I missed a day already! Here they are:
Drink my water (10 times)
Track my food (10 times)
Do yoga every day (8 times)
Run 4 times
Strength train 3 times
I already missed a day of drinking my water and a day of tracking. I am still trying to be mostly-Paleo also but I make my goals according to what I feel is needed the most right now. As you can see, I am putting an emphasis on workouts but I don’t want to slack off on the food so I am requiring that I track my food too! Here is the new chart I made. I also made a new excel file that is much easier to work on but it is only set up for you to track 10 days at a time. As always, if you’d like a copy, send me a private message or email me at chickenscoopgirl@gmail.com.
I still haven’t done my long run this week yet. I was going to go this morning but I slept so great, I was savoring it (aka sleeping in and slacking off). I figured out what was missing, making me sleep so badly. Rob! I think that’s the answer to my problems. Too bad he can’t be around every night 🙁 I have to get it in tonight or tomorrow morning if I want to do another long run this weekend. They are only 7 and 8 miles right now so its not so bad. If they were double digits, I wouldn’t be trying to cram them in so close together! Scary that I consider 8 miles a shorter run now. That is a long way from 3 years ago when I was doing Couch to 5K!
I’m not sure how I feel about doing 10 day goals but I’m giving it a go. Its a nice number, not too long, not too short but it doesn’t line up with the calendar at all! It runs until next Tuesday this time, so what if I move my workouts around? I might miss a run or a strength training workout. We will see how this goes! It is nice to have a shorter time span to worry about goals though!
Do you have any goals for this week? Do you like making short term or long term goals better?
I have long term goals but the short term goals get me there. For example, I can’t run that marathon in October without doing a couple runs each week leading up to it. But typically, I don’t usually make long term ones. I like going with the flow and putting solid plans on paper for months from now is not my thing. Who knows what could happen between now and then!
YEA JULY GOALS!!! can you believe its july already?!?! I can’t!
I was just thinking how 7miles was just “oh yea I did 7miles. no biggie” Im still DREADING the 20 mile week, and that isn’t for awhile!!!
I’m dreading the 20 miles because where the hell am I supposed to run it?! Yeah, I could run in circles but that would be extremely boring for 4 hours!

I do better (feels like) with short term goals but I also get frustrated with them. I tend to hit long-term goals oddly if they’re open-ended (not a due date) BETTER.
I guess I don’t really like “goals.” Sounds weird, doesn’t it?
One thing that I’ve done BADLY on lately is I didn’t track about 3 days last week AND I ate way over the past couple of days (with tracking again). It’s so hot and I’m so miserable I’m falling back on “comfort-eating.” And I don’t comfort eat on raw cauliflower. It’s gluten-free toast with Earth Balance spread. BOOOOOOO! And then? My guts aren’t happy, so I’m physically feeling worse. Dumb.
I do goals sometimes. Depends on my mood! LoL.
And when I feel crappy, I eat ice cream, and then feel crappier!
