Tuesdays on the Run: 2016 goals 

1/5/2016

1 Comment

 
Another Tuesday, another Tuesday on the Run hosted by our favorites: 
Erika from MCM Mama Runs, Marcia from Marcia's Healthy Slice and Patty from No-Guilt Life.This week's topic is 2016 goals. 

I already recapped my 2015 goals and how they turned out and I am happy I did. I feel I did okay but definitely know I could do better! I have divided them into 3 categories: life goals, running goals, blog goals so let's get to it. 

LIFE GOALS
1. FINAL Draft of dissertation By December
I have my first dissertation meeting on Monday! By December, I need at least a first final draft complete if I plan on defending in early spring, and final corrections by March so I can graduate may 2017. That is so crazy to think about!! 

2. Watch one classic movie a month
I used to be in love with TCM and classic movies and have gone through many of the AFI top 100 lists. I watched 3 movies over my break-On the Town, How to Marry a Millionaire and High Society and loved them. I want to make it a goal to watch one classic movie (1980s and before. Preferably from 1960s but there are stand outs (Godfather, etc))

3. Develop a home routine
Sine my boyfriend and I have moved in together, our relationship definitely has improved (not that it was bad before, but it is just better!) however our home routine is a bit of a mess haha. Often I am throwing in chores whenever and it can be stressful so I want to get on a routine to follow and do a bit every day versus reserving everything for the weekend. 

4. Read one book a month
I have a goal at work to read one book per month for work and since being a Learning Specialist/getting a Doctorate in Educational Psychology, I get to read books that I really enjoy and that help me out in life but also with my work and school. I want to stick with this even with the craziness of school. I read books really quickly and then write up small reports and notes for work so this is definitely do-able. 

RUNNING/EXERCISE GOALS
1. Race times: sub 5 for full, sub 2:05 For half, sub 58 for 10k, sub 27 for 5k 
I have been trying to go sub-5 on the marathon for awhile and I finally think this is my year! 
The other times have been a bit more elusive but I want to work towards them. The goal is to ultimately get to a sub 2 hour half but that would mean taking a full minute off my race time and I am not sure I am there yet but it I know I will get there. 

2. Lose 5-10% of my body fat and keep it off
Even though I feel like I'm getting stronger, I'm gaining weight which I don't appreciate. Instead of going by weight as that number does not tell the whole story, I want to lose body fat. I would love to lose 10% but that may not be good for me so if I can Lose 5%, that will work too. 
3. Rock Slave Leia outfit
Like most people, I am very self conscious about exposing my body but I've agreed to do a slave Leia/Tiana mashup for Star Wars: Dark Side so I will be very exposed! I have the costume already but I need to train to feel confident in the outfit. Goals 2 and 4 should help me get there. 
4. Weight train 3x a week
This is also important. I need to get stronger and the way to do that is with weights. 
BLOG GOALS

1. Join at least one blog share.
I'm not sure what to call them but they are a way to get your blog out there and also meet other people. 
2. Gain at least one ambassadorship
There are many brands I know and love and I would love to gain an ambassadorship by the end of the year. 
3. Interact with social media
I plan on commenting on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter at least once a day. I like to view things on social media but I don't always comment. This is a way for me to meet others and get myself out there. 


How about you? What are your goals for 2016?

Sounds like you have some great goals for the year. I actually did a weight workout today - which is totally not something I do often enough.
