Q2 Goals

I know I’ve sort of been phoning it in this week blog-style.  Truth is I’ve had a lot of things on my mind I wasn’t quite ready to pen.  I’m still struggling with what to do with my “6 Months” blog.  I’ve lost close to 15 pounds now, so I sort of am a new me.  Actually, I AM a new me.  Very much so.  And I’m backing away from counting the numbers, so that blog’s fate is undecided.
Plus, that whole fitness thing should not be separate from what I write here anymore.  That’s not a different me.  That’s my goals that have now fused into me.  (told you I was having trouble penning this)
I’ve been reading Body for Life to sort of restart my engine, which was stalling a little. I highly recommend it if you are contemplating changing your body in any way.  Because it will pretty much tell you, truthfully, whether you are ready or not.  Anyway, BFL got me thinking big about goals again.  My primary goal this year was to lose 20 lbs (which I would now restate as “get in good physical shape).  I got so focused on that, I dropped everything else.  Something reminded me of my 43 Things list and I thought I’d revisit for this quarter.
I do have some professional goals I’m not really going to talk about here.  One thing is for certain, I really need to buckle down on the PHR* study guide and be prepared to take that May/June certification exam.
I am fully committed to running/walking races for charity this spring, summer, and fall.  My trainer is helping me prepare for a 5K on May 11th.  More details on that once I get the plan and decide I can actually do it.   Also, my gym is having a “girls only” climbing class on April 11th and I’d really like to do that too.
Of  course, I recommit to my new healthy lifestyle.
By May 1st, I’ll finish going through my clothes and getting rid of stuff that no longer fits.  I already have one bag filled.
I have a lot of trips already planned (including home in April, and San Diego in May) so I can’t really add more to those.  But I do want to remind myself of the value of a weekend getaway whenever possible, and maybe plan a little more for the summer.
That’s enough for now.  The professional goals are big, and I know how well I do when I overextend myself (not very well).
