2017 Goals

I almost hate to post about goals this time of the year but can't help find myself thinking of the new year and what else comes to mind, but goals.  I have to say that I am happy with my current activity level.  And there is always room for improvement with my eating goals.  I desire to be an intuitive eater and I wish to move in ways that I find enjoyable, not punishing. That is the bottom line.

So...  I would love to continue in the way that I have been going and add on some small obtainable goals to boot.  Right now my goal is to walk 8k steps a day, 5 days a week.  I would love to inch that up to 10k in the next year.

Since right now 8k is easy to do 5 days a week and I usually average over 50k a week,  I think my new goal should be 8.5k steps a day and try to do that 6 days a week.  The weekend takes extra effort to get over 5k steps a day.  I feel busy on the weekends, but I must not be as active as I think.

When the weather cooperates, I would love to walk more outside and ride my bike.  I think I will set a goal for walking outside once a week when the temperatures are above freezing or close enough. As for my bike, I will ride it once a week on the trainer, until it becomes warm enough to ride outside. At that time, I will make new goals. Keeping on my bike this winter will really help my spring goals for my bike.  I plan to ride and walk more in 2017.

As for food, I want to finish reading Eat Q: Unlock the Weightloss Power of Emotional Intelligence by Susan Albers. I started it back in July.  I would like to read more books that encourage body positive ideas.  I will need to do some research on that.

I also want to make an effort to eat my vegetables.  I like vegetables.  I am just lazy at making sure that I get enough variety.  That is a simple thing that I can do to improve my health.

Anyone else working on goals for 2017?
