***What are some of your non-scale goals ???

Some of My Ideas:
1. eat cleaner foods
2. run longer distances
3. do more strength training

Of course, if I do those listed above, they will be more specific to my own fitness. :)

But... I need more ideas!! so what are your non-scale goals?

    some of my non-scale goals:
    1) eat more whole foods
    2) run a 10 minute mile
    3) strength train 2x a week (at least)
    4) aim to run a certain amount of miles in 2012--haven't figured out a reasonable amount of miles yet
    5) try running in some new places
    6) start thinking about running a marathon in 2013...

    Swim and/or run every day

    Establish a weight training routine

    Get into a nice comfortable size 10 again

    Reward myself at least once a month to a day spa including a 90 minute massage, facial, mani/pedi

    - Increase strength training.
    - Run a 5k
    - Ride a Century (my last Century ride was in 1997)
    - 34" waist (I'm a 42 right now)

    I want to build up lots of stealth muscle that will hide under this fat until it's gone. That will support my back and knees, let me work out longer (so I can eat more and still lose, muahahaha!), and as a bonus, it will look pretty darn good when it comes out of hiding, too!

    Edit- On my way out the door to buy some weights and a resistance band now, actually. :bigsmile:

    - Keep my abs fit by doing crunches every day (I do this for a while and then get a little lazy for a few days and lose a little definition... I want to KEEP what I've built!)
    - Do leg exercises every day to add more definition to my legs
    - Take a break from alcohol until Dec 20th (the start of my holiday vacation)

    My 90 day goals are to log my food every day no matter what and to run 15 miles/week. I have made scale related goals before and have never reached them so I'm hoping that by making these weight loss will be the side effect.

    Get my energy back

    Go out and play with my daughters without getting tired so easily

    Be a good role model for my daughters as well as the kids I drive to and from school (I'm a school bus driver)

    Get my self esteem back.

    Not be afraid to undress in front of my husband

    Walk into a store that does not sell plus sizes and walk out of said store with new clothes that fit :-)
