In many days I am very much a day to day guy. I have standards in my mind of what are positive things to do each day from activity (arguably numero uno) to eating proper foods and amounts.
When (not if) things go a bit sideways I have that emotion and then get on with gettiin" on health and nutrition wise. In some ways I think of it more as habits than goals per se.
My eating went south last night when I ate too much at a Thai resturant. Oh well back at it today.

I don't make New Year's resolutions and cannot remember ever doing that. I have signed up for a few challenges such as number of cycling days per year challenge. I did that in memory of a guy who passed away a couple of years ago. this year I put less pressure on myself.Last year for somewhat unknown reasons I signed up for 300 days of cycling even though the original challenge was just for 250 days. they made us choose a number. I did exceed that but I didn't like pressure. So far this year I have done (thru yesterday) 124 days of cycling out of a possible of 125 days but I know that I will be on vacation later without a bike.

I like the idea of keeping my old standard of 3000 miles of cycling in the back of my mind. Not exactly a goal but a good standard of activity. OK so it really is in that sense a goal. I have done over 6000 miles twice and with injuries etc a bit over . My last six years I have exceeded the following mileage. 2013 and 2014 over 6000 miles each year, 2015 and 2016 over 3800 miles each year, 2017 over 3760 miles and 2018 over 3500 miles. It adds up.
My health goals are to be active daily, drink less than 1 or 2 craft brews max, sleep well, and eat the right foods and amounts. I average close to 10 miles daily on bike and walk about 4 miles on mon,wed,fri, and sat.

I've run the gambit on this weight goal thing long, short, midterm etc;. When I first joined WW I proposed a time limit for my goal. I found from reading about other experiences Goadies that putting a time limit on weight loss was not necessarily a thing to do. There multiple sites reasons all of which I found the hard way were correct. Instead I put other goals to work which did work for me but they even ran their course because I didn't stick to thrm.

Recently a goal for me is one that is more immediate and very simple and limited to keeping it simple and limited to 1-3 max items. Example concentrate on not eating the wrong food. Another would be focusing on one meal at the time but yet focusing on planning. The mind must be set in the right frame of positiveness for anything to work.

I don't really set "end-result goals." Instead, I tend to develop "process-goals." For example, I don't shoot to lose X amount of weight by Y amount of time. Instead, I shoot to eat in a particular way (currently, no desserts and no alcohol during the week), with the idea that when the process works, I'll achieve a desired result.
