goals?

I've worked really hard for the last few months and really have nothing to show for it. I like my chocolate.  I have a sweet tooth AND a salt tooth, so it really is a bad combination.  I've been working out pretty hard consistently and have not lost one pound.  Not a single one.  I can't really complain.  I am in the "healthy" weight range, and I am healthy overall so I guess that is all that really matters.  I can notice a slight (very slight) difference in the physical appearance of my body.  I need to set some goals for myself to stay motivated.  I just don't know what those goals should be?  I don't want to focus on numbers.  I would like to focus on habits (dietary, exercise, life in general).  So I will make a few here and tweak them as I go along:

Dietary

1.  Limiting fast food to once a week (shouldn't be too hard to do for me).

2. More vegetables.  I usually have 2 servings or so of vegetables per day (usually both with dinner).  Maybe I can split those up into lunch AND dinner and then add a half serving to each?

3. Limiting my sweets.  Or at least changing the type of sweets I'm enjoying.  Less ice cream and more fresh fruit for example.

Exercise

1. Finish my mini triathlon without dying.

2. Continue to do strength training twice per week throughout the summer.

3. Continue to run outside during the summer.  Even if I have to wake up early (before the sweltering heat) to get it done.  Being outside is so soothing for me.

Life

1. Stay caught up on laundry!  It's really one of the hardest things for me to do.  I hate doing whites (all those pesky socks to match up), so we are always running behind on it.

2. Take time out for each kid this summer.  Having alone time with them to make them both feel as important as they are!  My daughter is getting old enough to do fun things now like amusement parks and roller coasters.  Good thing she is a thrill seeker like mom!

3. Read.  Whether it is escaping into a book this summer, or perusing the Bible to find some scripture to reflect upon... I just need to read!

So there we have it! Goals.
