If I had just fit it ONE MORE DAY, I could have hit my goal. So frustrating. Do you have any fitness goals that are frustrating you?

  1. Okay, being off by one day is SUPER frustrating. And also... I'm betting you really earned/needed those days off!

    My current fitness goal is to find and stick with a graduated weight training program... but I am resisting it so hard for no discernible reason. Very irritated with myself.

    1. I almost made my goal this month (October) to lift weights for at least 10 minutes every day, but I didn't. And I haven't lifted all month. *sigh* I have to find motivation somehow.

  2. Nevermind the one day. You do so well.

  3. I feel like my fitness goals frustrate me on a regular basis, ha. I think you did great as usual. And on top of this you're walking Hannah twice a day. I know those aren't necessarily power walks (I know what walking with a dog is like) but you're still getting in those steps.

    1. Oh, sure, I'm getting in steps and lots of time staring at her as she rolls around in the grass and chews sticks. Ha! It's Hannah's world - we're just living in it.

  4. "half-assed is better than no assed." hahhahahaha

    I don't know that it's a goal per se, but I'm very frustrated that I can't seem to run more than 2 miles (often less than that) without getting tired and feeling like that's my limit. I thought I was supposed to get better at running if I just kept at it? Oh well. Just keep at it, I guess.

    1. We use the phrase half-assed is better than no assed a lot in our house. I mean, you can't give 100% all the time, you know?

      I can't run more than half a mile because of my busted leg. My physical therapist said I should just give up trying and focus on other things that don't hurt me and still build strength. But, dang it all, I like that running is a quick cardio workout that you can do with little equipment and no planning!

  5. I love that you share the routines you do. I have found some good videos in your posts and started doing a list of things to add into mine. Thank you for that.

    1. I also fee like it's fair for people to see what the level of difficulty is for the videos I do - which is to say, pretty much beginner level!
