Rob's last post has got me itchin' to set some longer-term goals. I haven't done it for a while, because there seems to be something in my psychological makeup that causes me to intentionally miss goals (no joke). I'm not sure what it is--a fear of being dependable? Or maybe, when you get right down to it, of having people depend on me? I don't know...I'm no psychologist. I just know from experience that the surest way for me to fail at something is to have someone counting on me to do it. Including myself. It makes no sense, and it makes goal-setting a bit of a challenge.

Now that I think about it, I don't want to set middle range, date-based goals for now. Instead, I'm going to try some ultra-short ones.

UPDATE: I'm crossing off the ones that I've met.

Tonight:
4-point or less dinner, no snacking afterward

Tomorrow:
walk during lunch while the weather's nice, eat a smoothie.

Through Friday:
Don't use more than 5 flexpoints, TOTAL.

All week:
If I must go to the vending machine in the afternoon, get pretzels instead of chocolate.

Avoid snacking after 8 pm.

Go to bed by 10 pm.

Drink 6-8 cups of water per day.

Eat no more than the target points (24) at least one day this week.

Congrats on your progress thus far. You can save all the clothes you shrink out of for me. They might be snug, but then I'll have a goal. Keep on counting!! And way to go on the bike expedition.
