December Goals

Yes, I do know that we are already three days into December.  What can I say?  I'm a procrastinator.  So:

1. Stop procrastinating.  I love putting off today what I could do tomorrow and I love the fact that tomorrow never comes!  I need to buckle down and follow through on everything from doing laundry to eating healthy to completing my running miles.  I need to do it now, not later!

2. Lose at least five pounds by December 31.  I have been hovering at the same weight for a long time.  While I have been at least creeping downwards, I would like to creep a little faster.

3. Eat healthy-ish-er.  I rarely eat out, but I have a sweet tooth and love salty foods and will just make them if I have a craving.  I once licked all of the salt off of a bag of tortilla chips and threw away the chips (Hey, I'm not proud of it).  I really need to remember to add veggies and fruit to my daily eating.

4.  Run at least 100 miles this month.  Ohhh, yeahhhh.  I am putting on my crazy running shoes and setting a crazy goal.  Not really, since I counted the miles I will already run this month from the training plan I'm following. It will definitely be the most I've done so far.  My highest mileage ever was about 78 miles, so I am going to be sore, tired and whiney.

5. Try at least one new recipe a week.  Hey, I'm being realistic.  I am the most boring eater I know.  I will eat the same thing every day until it's gone.  For example, I made sauer kraut last week and I ate it for three days in a row.  Same thing when I made chili, except I froze some of it.  So, this will help me incorporate some variety and get me excited to cook things again.
