So I had to change up my SMART goal a little bit...
- I will take my dogs to Hartley Nature Center for a 30-40 minute walk/run, 3 times during the week days. It's been going good...tricky to work into my hectic school schedule.
- During the week there always seems to be too much going on & I become overwhelmed. I wanted to take time for myself & to exercise my two puppies, especially because they're not as active as they need to be during the week (they're german short hairs- made to run and hunt). My strategies have been to get up earlier and when I need a break from my overload of projects, to just get some fresh air and walk down to Hartley just down the block.
- It's a challenge to just make myself get up and outside. That's why I chose this goal, because like my previous goal...once i'm out there & finish the walk...I feel like I have achieved something. I'm more relaxed and can get my head focused again.
- I learned about patience and not to wait to do something. I learned that I can yell very, very loud as well (darn dogs kept running away from me)!
- My plans for next week are to keep on going. The three days during the week has been a good number, not too much & not too little. The puppies love the snow & I still enjoy the outdoors w/o it being below zero.
It is great that you are up for a challenge! It shows a lot about your personality. Patience is a great thing to learn, and sometimes very difficult to learn as well. Hopefully the weather will stay in your favor so you can keep at your goal.
ReplyDeleteI really like your goal and I bet your dogs like it too. :) I believe that it is hard to find the extra time to go for a walk but you are doing great. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteGood goal, very original. I like that it's not only fitness promoting but has an aspect to environmental heath too because your outside. Your dogs sound really cute, I'm jealous. I wish that I had a a puppy, I would be much more inclined to venture outside to walk them then I am right now.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice goal and a good way to give yourself some motivation and having dogs is a nice help too. Keep up the good work in this upcoming week and stay warm!
