Goals, March 2013

I'd say I was not one for long term goals but that's not quite right. I think it's more that I really need to set some short term goals as well in order to sharpen the focus on achieving the long term ones.

Lori over at Finding Radiance lists her goals for the new month on the first of each and every month. I like this idea so much I'm absolutely borrowing it! Why do I like her format so much? She only lists a handful of goals in a simple format and they're relevant and achievable. Lori also does a recap at the end of each month to see how she went so I'll be doing that as well come March 31. Soooooo:

March Goals

1. Lose 5 kg - I have a new trainer, new program and a renewed sense of purpose (more details to come on that). I also have an official starting weight (shudder). All of this combined leads me to believe that 5kg is possible as it only a little more than a kilo a week.

2. Exercise a minimum of 6 days a week - again entirely doable and practically a 'must' given what my aspirations are. Exercise encompasses walking and gardening as well as training.

3. Stay on the Primal/Paleo eating plan - this is going very well again and I need to continue as it makes me feel good.

4. Work mindfully - distractions and interruptions come with my job so I need to accept them for what they are and go straight back to work after they're dealt with. That would be instead of checking email, Facebook or Twitter or all three *cough*.

5. Continue with the Autumn clean - why I have a sudden urge to deep clean I have no idea. Well maybe I do actually - life is perhaps back on track after injury and therefore I need to start anew in all facets including a purge of 'stuff' and deep cleaning. Looking to get rid of a garbage bag of 'stuff' every week and 2-3 hours per week in additional cleaning.

So that's it! Looking forward to the month in spite of the fact March means Autumn and one can sense the slight change in the seasons already.

A dose of cute to finish. You'd think butter wouldn't melt in her mouth but you'd be so very, very wrong.
