Goals for 2012
Posted at 11:45 in Personal
Goal setting is important at any time of the year and luckily for me, I’m strong willed and determined and therefore don’t need the start of a new year to motivate me to make changes – it’s a never ending cycle of setting goals, hitting them, re-assessing and setting new ones.
However, sometimes it pays to look long term and think about what you want to achieve, especially with fitness goals.
So, I thought about what I’d like to achieve ideally in 2012 and this is what I came up with:
DIET:
To continue eating a primal (preferably paleo) diet
To continue intermittent fasting (this is with me for life!)
To include more variety in my diet, especially fruit and vegetables
FITNESS:
150kg deadlift
100kg squat (below parallel, preferably ATG)
BW bench press
10 unassisted chins/pull ups
PERSONAL:
To oil pull for a minimum of 10 minutes EVERY day, preferably 20 minutes
To write my blog more frequently
And there they are – my goals for 2012. Simple, straight forward and, I believe, achievable.
ARE YOU SETTING GOALS FOR 2012? IF SO, WHAT ARE THEY?
Good luck! I’m going by month-by-month goals this year – hoping to hit them, no, make that PLANNING on hitting them!
BP body weight is one of my goals, too, but I’m a long way off.
I just posted my goals for next year on my blog. In short, I want to make better food choices, run more (maybe even a half marathon), add some strength training to my routine, and save some money.
Good luck on your goals! Let’s make 2012 an awesome year!
I just had to google oil pulling – my first learn of the new year! Good luck with all your goals – Happy New Year!
Strong deadlift. Best of luck with your goals.
stumbles across your blog as ive just started one to help my weight loss just like you! so motivational to see your success, good luck to everyone in 2012
I’m a new follower. I’ve been reading your blog for ages, but I’m just starting my own fitness blog, so I thought it was a good time to make it official. Glad to see you blogging again, I always find them very motivational for my own training!
Just found your blog. You have done really well to get into the shape you are in now!
I just started my blog myself and hope to get back into shape after an injury kept me from doing exercise for 6 months.
Good luck with your new goals!
The comic was very funny – and you make good points too! Thanks for the motivating article.
mine aren’t as impressive and i should probably make them more SMArt . good luck and give linda hamilton a run for her money in 2013 :)
Good for you. 50lbs and 25″ is very impressive indeed. Amazing how we get the bug and turn our lives around. Been working really hard on my health and fitness goals so much so I decided to retrain and setup my own business – http://www.fitness-challenge.co.uk. All the best for 2012
