Setting Goals..

"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life." -Muhammad Ali 

Goal setting is an important thing in life, and it’s also something I’m not very good at doing. Well, I should say I'm good at setting goals, but I often give up before I reach them. I’m the type of person that is pretty quick to give up if I’m not good at something or if I think it’s going to be “too hard” for me I’m over it really quick! This is one of my downfalls as a person. I wish I wasn’t like that, I often need to get pushed & encouraged but if I get pushed too hard then I think “hmm, yeah no I’m not doing that because you’re getting on my nerves”.. I’m stubborn, to say the least!

Through the years, I’ve looked at other women and thought “oh my gosh, she’s hot.. I wish I looked like her!” or “wow, look at her body.. I wish I looked like her!” You know how girls are, they’re always comparing themselves to others that in their eyes are "better" then them & it often results in feeling bad about yourself. This is one thing that me as a person is trying to overcome for me.. I’m sick of comparing, I’m tired of making myself feel like I’m not pretty enough, I just want to love what I see in the mirror.. That’s it! The only person that can help me, is me! I don’t want to be Skinny.. I want to be Fit & Healthy!

One thing I’ve learned is that if you make your goals public, you feel more accountable.. So in this blog that’s exactly what I am doing! I’m sharing my goals with you to make me accountable for me! One of my goals that I have made within the last year that I actually have met is making it to the top of the Manitou Incline! This one was a huge one for me, I actually went for the third time this weekend & beat my time from last weekend! Woot Woot! J
