Dumbing it Down

I have exactly no clue what happened last February.  I’m too lazy to go back and read through my blog to find out.   My goals from February:

• Track allllll of my food.  (I use Sparkpeople! And by tracking I mean, count my calories and keep it within my range.  Which we can talk about in a separate blog.)
• Exercise 30 minutes for 29 days straight.
• Finish Unlimited - only seven more chapters to go.

Oh holy HECK that’s funny.  I read through my list and fell off my chair in a fit of laughter.  Ok, that was a lie.  As I type this, I’m hunkered down in the basement of a building somewhere I won’t tell you.  There’s one other person here too, and I won’t tell you who that person is either.  BUT, if I really did fall out of my chair laughing, I really don’t think I could ever face this person again…without wetting my pants in embarrassment.  And the pants wetting would only increase my embarrassment.  So there.  I lied. Except for the part about being in a basement with one other person.

I DID however raise my eyebrows at myself.  I hesitate now to set goals for March.  I mean, if I didn’t keep any in January or February, then maybe goal setting just doesn’t work for me?  WRONG!  It does.  It really really does.  My past success with goal setting was achieved when I was consistently using my day planner, keeping a to do list, and marking things off my list.  My goals were always in front of me.  It’s easy to forget about your goals when you don’t see them every day, a couple of times a day even.

I think for March, I’m going to dumb it down.  For me, not you.  So my goal for March is to write a to-do list, every stinkin day.  I still really want these too.

The question is HOW BADLY do I want them?
