I really, really, really, really hate setting goals. Like....Hate.It.
I know it works and I encourage others to do it, (which I think is weird and wonder if practicing what I preach should be the first one on my list).
I'm like almost everyone else...I want things to be easy. I want David Foster to catch me singing in my car at the top of my lungs (which happens often by the way) realize my many talents, immediately sign me to a contract and catapult my career as a back up singer and dancer for Miss Tina Turner in to action.
Do I want to be the one that does the work to make that happen? No. I want all the work done for me.
I think is why I do not enjoy setting goals. Because they are work. If you want to accomplish anything you WILL need to work for it. Somewhere my Dad is laughing at me taking 37 years to realize this.
So what do I want to have happen between now and Christmas?
1) I would like to be 100% vegetarian and 90% vegan (this leaves room for ice cream).
2) I would love, love, love my house to be greener. Not the color, the way of life.
We are the people who have 13 cloth grocery bags. NONE of which are in the car, thus enabling us to maintain the world record for the most plastic bags under the kitchen sink. If nothing changes within the next few weeks, I seriously doubt we'll be able to close that cupboard door.
3) I want to run 10k. By December. (for those of you who have followed along and are confused with the on-again, off-again running situation...it's on again.)
I have more things I want to do but I'll start small and see what happens. I will keep you posted on the changes happening in the Reinelt household and how I'm progressing with this love/hate thing between me and running.
Tonight I'm headed out for a short run and then to the grocery store where I will carry my purchases home in a plastic bag for the LAST TIME!
Be well.
