    Two 'unusual' goals for me. This is one:
    I want to look intimidating to high school boys for when my daughters are old enough to date :grumble:

    The other is probably not so unusual, but I'd like to feel like a piece of meat for once - objectify me for my physical prowess and commanding stature! :laugh:

    I want to kick my asthma in the butt! I can't use an inhaler (I have crazy reactions to the steroids, even to albuterol...it's no fun :cry: ), so even jogging is hard for me. I know if I work slow and steady, I'll be able to beat it in the end!

    Oh, and I want to continue to be able to do more crunches (of all kinds) than my boyfriend (who is working towards becoming a personal trainer...haha :happy: )

    Shirt off at the beach, without hesitation. Heck, just walk around without a shirt all the time how about.

    oh, and I want to be able to really, really run.

    One of my short term goals is just to be able to shop for pants in a typical plus size department in retail stores...so many of them just go up to a 24 or a 26, and I've been beyond that for so long! I can't wait for that day!

    My gym has one of those big tractor tires in it that all of the super fit dudes flip over and over again, and I watch them from the stair climber, all squinty-eyed thinking "I wanna flip that muthatrucka SO HARD". Working my way there, slowly but surely.

    Also, I have crappy knees and have just recently started jogging a bit, I'm working towards being light enough that I can run without injuring myself.

    To be hotter than both my sisters in law, both of whom I secretly hate and would LOVE to flaunt a post-baby six pack to them in six months when they come to visit. >:)

    Omg. I've been telling my hubby I'm going to be her for Halloween, assuming I look good enough. You're awesome.

    To run a marathon on every continent. Though this is a lifetime goal! (and yes, there is a marathon in Antarctica)

    To complete an olympic level triathlon (this year!)

    To complete the Spartan Race tri-fecta. (this year or next)

    Look fit instead of skinny

    It's such a vague and unquanitfiable goal that I think it's the reason I've never stuck with a healthy lifestyle.

    I would love to be able to wear shorts in the summer (without my thighs rubbing together). I havent worn shorts since I was a child.

    I would say dresses, but yes, this is mine as well! Last summer I wore bike shorts under my skirts and dresses all the time, this year I want to be freeeeeeee! :-)

    Some other goals:

    Right now I wear the biggest size in some stores, and sometimes even that's not quite big enough if it runs small. I want to be able to fit into ANY store I want to shop in. One in particular is Zara...right now their size L is just a little too snug.

    I want to fee fit enough that I can take up a sport. I want to take tennis lessons this summer. There's a program that starts in June. I don't know ANYTHING about tennis really, but I think it would be fun. But not if I feel like "the fat kid in middle school" trying to run around the court and chase balls.

    I want to be able to enjoy a leisurely run. I live right by the beach...there's a 5-mile loop from my front door that's amazing, along the waterfront and around an old fort. Some day I want to be able to just up and run that regularly before work!

    About 4 years ago I bought this sexy lingerie to wear for my husband...all black and lacy...and it is still to this day just hanging by the bed for me to see everyday, but I am still not able to wear it. It's collecting dust, lol. My goal is to fit into that by the end of this year. I am aiming to lose no less than 1.5 lbs per week and if I can stick to that I will be my goal size on this exact date next year.

    And also to make it all the way through the Insanity workout program without giving up!

    To have my waist measurement less than my chest measurement. They started out with the waist about 8 inches farther around than my chest. Right now they are tied.

    Great job Larry!

    1. One of mine was to run a 5k in < 30 minutes -- did it last week! YEAH! :)
    2. Another one was to log 100 miles this month, but then I decided to alternate running and strength days, then caught some bug that's going around that kept me still for a couple of days. I'm @ 61.4 miles right now, so it's still possible, but I'd have to go back to daily running (only have time for 3-5 mi/day), and/or log a few walking during the work day.
    3. To do one real push-up with good form! I have no idea why it's so hard for me, but some day I WILL conquer it.
