I am a bit stronger than I was two years ago and don't easily get tired anymore, which is great for me! :) Good luck with your goals and workouts!Sookhttp://myfabulousrecipes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339763320840481095.post-8268740073770380772010-05-01T20:39:15.447+09:002010-05-01T20:39:15.447+09:00I never really thought about the difference betwee...I never really thought about the difference between the word "resolution" and "goal", but the distinction you point out makes total sense. I don't set goals around the new year because I tend to set them throughout the year instead (although it tends to get haphazard after a while, so maybe I should stick with NY). I think your points about being flexible and having goals are so important. I'm glad you're feeling stronger!<br /><br />Are there any sports groups around there? I find playing sports on a team occasionally helps mix things up.Jessiehttp://thehappinessinhealth.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339763320840481095.post-41579372913168185372010-05-01T19:58:52.090+09:002010-05-01T19:58:52.090+09:00wow! great Italian meal!

But then, I live in sunny LA, so all I need to do is lace up my shoes and go out for a run.sophiahttp://burpandslurp.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339763320840481095.post-68308281461369364712010-05-01T01:30:15.508+09:002010-05-01T01:30:15.508+09:00Thanks for sharing and good for you for sticking w...Thanks for sharing and good for you for sticking with your goals. I continue to struggle with motivation for the gym. I am definitely doing better but these last couple weeks haven't been as good as I have liked.

And finding a variety of exercises. I'm hoping to get back into dance or something like that...I need a little break from running 5 days a week.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758932883732204080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339763320840481095.post-89979897819954588732010-04-30T07:15:05.275+09:002010-04-30T07:15:05.275+09:00Good job on your goals! I like that your exercise ...Good job on your goals! I like that your exercise goal was doable. I think too often we set unrealistic goals. When I got serious about exercise again at the beginning of last year, my goal was to work out at least four times per week, and I usually worked out more. Yet, when things got really hectic I could still make my goal. <br /><br />I work out at the gym a lot, but I also try to get outside more. I've started running again (although I'm not sure if I can stick with it as my ankle is not "behaving" very well), and I go hiking a few times per month (my favorite form of exercise). I'm also looking forward to incorporating swimming into my workouts as it's getting warmer.Andrea@WellnessNoteshttp://www.andreaswellnessnotes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339763320840481095.post-65114857714472287932010-04-30T05:55:23.387+09:002010-04-30T05:55:23.387+09:00I enjoyed reading this post Melinda!

I was just going over my goals for May and I think I like your idea of not being too specific on your goals - when I went back to my WW journals from 1999 when I lost 70 pounds, I realized I worked out a total of 90 minutes throughout the day and I didn't drink any wine!<br /><br />So that being said, I think my goal for May will be - "work out more, drink less wine!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339763320840481095.post-7919663273722845452010-04-30T03:25:04.958+09:002010-04-30T03:25:04.958+09:00I don't really do new years resolutions.

I try to go five days a week, but depending on scheduling and work, sometimes I only make it four. I used to do lots of cardio--45-50 minutes as hard as I could. Recently though, I've been scaling back the cardio some and doing a lot more strength training, and I can really see the difference!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18232262261483229338noreply@blogger.com
