It's not too early...or too late! Making 2016 goals.

I get the importance of having goals, in fact I LOVE the idea.  It's actually putting an idea into words that terrifies me.  I usually make general statements that loosely include something I MIGHT want to accomplish...that way no disappointment when I don't.

Something inside of me screams, "You're getting too old to worry about what you MIGHT not achieve, you may not have the ability to soon!"  I shared a secret desire what a fitness-fan friend of mine recently (Finding Her Happy Pace!).  It was the result of my actually reaching out to get some more information about how to find a coach or a training program that fits with me.  She connected me with some amazing resources, like OMG amazing.  It ACTUALLY seems feasible...attainable!

So...I've never made serious goals, with serious plans, with serious action.  It's never too late, right? ....right??

I'm not making them in this entry.  Just getting this far in the plan making is MUCH further than I ever have.  I WILL be making goals including objectives to help accomplish them.  It DOES include some fitness and overall health and wellness goals that are pretty special and significant to me, so stay tuned if you're interested.

I think it's worth mentioning that as I write this, I'm not feeling it.  I mean, my motivation ebbs and flows, my excitement does not.  I think it's pretty cool I still intend to follow through on such a thought, and it's not at the mercy of fleeting, lofty ideals.  So maybe you could consider it, too?  Do you have any secret desires or goals?  What would it take to start working on them?

I'm running the Kona Chocolate Double tomorrow in Plymouth.  I'm nervous! But I'm also excited and feeling blessed I'm still here planning to do it and able.  Small pleasures make for big deals.  :)
