My Health Goals for 2010
Exercising is one of my greatest passions. Without the endorphins that I receive from it not pumping through my body, I usually become irritable, “mad at the world,” and overanalyze to a fault. It’s one of the only reasons that I am glad that the holiday season is over, so I can get back to basics.
My 2010 short-term health goals are:
- Run three marathons
- Do a century ride
- Participate in the Air Force Cycling Challenge
- Drink more water
- Meditate
I already signed up for the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler coming up in March, and I am ready to start training again.
The best way to get motivated is to do it with a bunch of friends. Luckily, I have found a great group of friends who are all about running, biking, outdoor activities, etc., so I can always find some healthy-type of activity to do. Even when I don’t want to run anymore, I have someone pushing me to keep going. It’s one of the reasons that I can now run for miles on end without stopping. Great motivation.
My long-term goal is to lose 15 pounds. Before Christmas, I went to buy some new jeans, and was disappointed when I couldn’t fit into my size. It made me determined than ever to get some willpower to stop eating so much. Food is my other passion. Luckily, I have always been a lover of healthy foods, but it still doesn’t mean that I can eat all the time. Due to work, illness, and having the tendency to not eat when I’m at home, I dropped some weight, but it’s due to muscle loss, so I am kind of upset about that. However, I have a muscular body, so I know that I will get it back in no time.
What are some of your health goals for 2010?
