What's Your Goal?

My goal isn't to be a certain weight, or a certain size even. I have a ballpark figure of the weight I'd like to end up at, sure. But my goals are slightly more different than that. Here they are:

I want to run.
I want to climb several flights of stairs without getting winded.
I want to not be afraid to ride amusement park rides for fear I won't fit.
I want to be more physically active with my children.
I want to be a role model to my kids - for them to do as I do, not do as I say.
I want to not feel the need to hide the jeans I'm buying for fear that everyone will see how big they are (for real).
I want to view food as fuel.
I want to show my children that anything is attainable, even if at first you think it isn't.
I want to learn how to dance.
I want to wear dresses. (There. I said it, finally.)
I want to (comfortably) cross my legs.
I want to feel comfortable in my own skin.

What goals are you looking to accomplish?

  1. I'm with you on all your goals except for the rides (any ride makes me puke) and the learning to dance but it would need to be a specific kind - right now I am considering belly dance lessons. :)

  2. Belly dance sounds fun but I don't know if I have the guts for it! I think I might like to try to learn ballroom dance, if I can drag my husband along! Neither one of us knows how to dance! We always look like high school kids at their prom when we slow dance at weddings! HA!
