At the beginning of the Year (can't believe we are 2 months in) I decided to strive for 13 goals in 2013. I knew 13 was a lot. Hec, one is alot for me but I figured I had a year and they weren't huge accomplishments.
One of those was to lose 13 pounds and get healthy. I joined the Resolutions in Motion to help motivate me to actually get it done. I also created little helpers to help keep me on track.

I did great for the first 3 weeks, running 3 times a week and working out 3 days a week. I lost 5 pounds in the first 2 weeks
Then life happened and the running and work outs became less. The goal tracker was forgotten.
As I was reflecting this week, I realized that losing weight isn't really my goal. Eating better and treating my body better is my goal. So although I would love to lose 13 pounds and I think it will happen this year, I really want my goal to be changing my lifestyle. I want to eat better. I want to exercise more. So my goal now is to work hard at changing those things. Using the tools above and a few more. I didn't lose my 13. But my plan is, over the next 10 weeks, to make running and working out my goal. I think the change in diet will come when those change. I tend to crave healthier foods when I am working out. I signed up for a half marathon the end of April so running will soon be my reality, whether I like it or not.
Did you have any goals for 2013? I'd love to read about them. Link your comments in below.
I look forward to sharing with you soon. Make sure you check out the giveaway happening at Covered In Grace or Shaping Up To Be A Mom.
I love that setting goals leads to the revision of goals once you have worked out what is important to you. I wish you the best of luck finding your healthy balance. Thanks for taking part!
