So a week ago I applied myself to challenge.
The goals were:
1. to eliminate dairy from my diet - I couldn't say no to some goat and blue cheese. Therefore I decided to eat some cheese here and there. I just looooooove the stuff so much.
2. to commit to weight lifting - I did two workouts! I had to do four :( Not bad, but not so great also.
3. to try some new stuff, like yoga - Never happened :( Bad!
I try not to be tough on myself.
However, it’s kind of upsetting… anyway, new week, same goals – hope to accomplish more this time.
Oh, and my mornings now are like that:
A coffee and a cat (sometimes two)
So what’s your take on not meeting the goals you’ve set for yourself?
that's a very good question.
ReplyDeleteas a bulimic, my goals were always surrounding exercise, nutrition, restriction, not bingeing, and not purging. so i'd be absolute insane when those goals weren't accomplished. everyday was a failure, and i felt like bollocks.
but now, things are different. my goals are more like, "have a grand lunch with friends and appreciate them at least twice per month." my best friend aimee taught me this. her website is http://www.embodynaturalhealth.com. her photo will be on my blog entry tonight!
of course, i always have my financial and life goals (long term and difficult to achieve), but my other, more current goals seem to be more holistic, less oppressive, and more attainable. so i don't get anxious anymore. i love it! :)
you did a fabulous job last week. and when i think of last week, i think of developing my relationship with my new friend greta from across the ocean who has lived a strikingly similar existence to mine . . . and that makes me really happy. :) xx
This post have made my day (which has just started):). I guess it’s still a bulimic mindset – striving for perfection, because no one cares. It’s our lives and we can live those as we want. Yay for not being perfect! And for making new friends!
ReplyDeleteyay, indeed!!! :)
