Looking ahead to next year

Around this time of year people start looking ahead to what they want to accomplish in the year to come. I am not normally a person who sets new years resolutions but I started thinking about next year and what is actually on my plate. I will officially be graduated in March and am looking at walking in May. I also have been selected to be in a half marathon in May. This leaves me thinking is there anything else I might want to accomplish. I think that this is quite a bit to handle in one year but what if it were something that compliments what I am already set to accomplish.

The one thing that has eluded me is my goal weight. I have come a long way but I would like to lose some more weight. I will never be super skinny and I am OK with that but I would like to lose a bit more weight and feel healthy. This I think I can accomplish because of my goal to finish the half marathon. I have to train for the half and part of that is eating and drinking more healthy. I am better than I used to be but not as good as I can be.

There is nothing holding me back from obtaining my goals but me and it is time to have a serious talk with me.  There is a quote I recently saw and this is how it goes.

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

 

 

Next year I am going to challenge me to change myself. I think I will win the challenge.
