2021 Physical Goals
This is where the stereotypical New Year’s resolution comes in, and I’m terrible at committing and achieving my New Year’s physical goals (just gotta be honest). I hate exercise. I’m lazy. Therefore, I must be creative when it comes to setting physical goals. There is always the annual goal to lose weight and once you’re 50+ it becomes really hard.
Even though I’m reasonable with my goal of shedding one to two pounds per month, something I believe is achievable, I find the dedication of eating right and daily exercise challenging. But I love applying Newton’s First Law of Motion to my vision board to remind me to get moving so that I stay active. Once I start, I follow-through. When I take that first step, I’ll continue. Also, I add a personal challenge to the equation. I remind myself that my mother-in-law is nearing her 90’s and she walks three miles per day, even after breaking her patella and spending months in a cast and physical therapy. If she can do it, then so can I!
You won’t find me in the gym or running a marathon. But you may see me on a bicycle, pushing around a wheelbarrow of dirt, or playing a tennis match with a friend. Find something you enjoy and get moving.
Regardless of your New Year’s resolution process, make it realistic, memorable, achievable, and comprehensive—encompassing all areas of your life—not just a weight goal.
