I believe in long-term, sustainable, realistic goals. I don't believe in making a grand goal because some tradition says I should.
Something tells me George Bush made a New Year's Resolution. See above. |
Yeah, I didn't really hold with the whole New Year's resolution thing until I coincidentally started losing weight shortly after New Years. People assumed it must have been a resolution of mine to lose weight, and I have let them think that. It really was just me making up my mind that I was fat enough and something had to be done.
This time, my resolutions come up because the New Year is a good time for me to start working towards a new goal. Classes start next week, which gives me a good chance to start working on building that routine I want.
But after having a successful, sort-of resolution, I decided to set some goals and work towards those.
I really think timing is everything when it comes to goal-setting. I won't try getting beyond my current weight set point until spring, because I know my body has more or less decided it's reached its happy point for winter. New starts and fresh goals seem to go along with one another, but I wonder how many people actually get a new start with the New Year? Very few, I imagine.
