Goals

Lordy, it's been along time since I've talked goals here on the blog.  Here's the condensed version of where I'm at now.  I went from running marathons and working out at least once daily w/weights, to 3 chaotic years where any concerns about my personal fitness were out the window as my focus was needed elsewhere, to today - starting over from scratch.  That's the short, sweet version. 

This year, things have leveled off for us.  Other family situations seemed to have stabilized for the moment, or at least I have a better handle on handling our new normal, anxiety is under control....and I finally feel like I can allow myself the time and energy I need to get back to a healthy place.  More importantly, I want to.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not up for going full guns blazing and training for any big race or anything like that.  I do have the desire again to get back into some sort of a routine.  Starting with workouts and walks/hikes.  I have no goals as far as weight.  My goal at this point is just to reestablish a normal, consistent, manageable daily routine that includes walks and workouts.  Just reestablishing the basics.  I will be thrilled with that! 

One of the fun benefits of getting the new phone is that I can have lots of fun with new workout apps, and trackers for steps/miles.  Yes, I have that with my garmin, but in my weird head, the garmin is for running, and I don't currently run, so I shouldn't use it.... Makes no sense, but there you go.

Anyhow....There have once again been planks and fartleks happening!! I totally count a walking fartlek as "speed play".  Here's to starting with small goals, and building from there!
