*yawn* it's late!
I'm staying up late, hanging out with my knitting, while I'm waiting for my friend Michelle deMoose to post "after" pictures of her hair cut. Michelle has gorgeous long hair and has decided to get long layers cut into it, but keep the length. She said she'd post pictures when she got back. Granted, she had an evening appointment and then some shopping to do after, and is in a different time zone than I am, but still ... certainly she must be home by now? It's 11:40 pm here. How late would you stay up to see someone's hair? LOL!
In the meantime, here's a little update for you:
I better get that posted before midnight, LOL! Do you see that? 5 days, 5 miles to go. -- I think I'm going to make it! Yeah!
What should my goal be for next year?
I like the challenge of miles. But then again, it discourages me from non-walking exercise. Sometimes I think some kick boxing would be fun, but then I don't want to miss out on any miles. But then again, I'm less likely to spend tons of money on new exercise videos if I stick to walking. I thought about doing minutes, but I'm not sure that would seem as exciting of a goal. I need it specific, like the number of miles. If I just say "my goal is X days a week" it's not like I'm working TOWARDS something. You know? So maybe I'll do another 500 miles. I could do more, if I stuck with it all year. But I don't know. 600 miles? Hm. I'm not sure.
Anyway, I guess I'll go refresh my discussion board, again, and see if Michelle has posted her hair yet. Do you think she thought I was joking when I said I'd be waiting at the computer to see it?
Well, I'll carry on with my knitting, as I wait. At least as long as my eyes will still focus. Which I don't think will be much longer.

Posted by: Shari at December 27, 2006 1:54 AMWow - Congratulations! I've been kinda bummed lately because I lost 20 pounds the first half of the year, and then I felt like I pretty much gained most of it back the second half. I guess sitting in a car or a seminar for most of the fall season will do that to you, but still... Your goal-achievingness is a motivator for me!
Posted by: Toblerone at December 27, 2006 2:31 AMWoo hoo on the walking! I'd been wondering how close you were getting.
I, too, was thinking about changing my goal somewhat. I got Leslie's Pilates and Yoga DVD's, plus I bought the Weightlifting for Dummies book at the thrift store before Christmas. If I'm concentrating on miles walked, I won't be so enthusiastic about other types of exercise, I think.
Kim,
I think you should have another mileage goal. X minutes a week is too easy to ignore. 600 miles a year is a goal that it is easy to measure and to see how you are doing.
I guess if you wanted to do a free weight goal, you could have a goal of getting to 12 or 15 pounds using Joyce's videos.
But I think the mileage goal is a better one for you.
Congrats on sticking to your plan thought thick and thin!
Posted by: Karen at December 27, 2006 9:23 AMWow! Congratulations. Maybe I should set some type of goal for myself. I can't seem to get rid of the rest of my toddler weight. It's been too long to still call it baby weight.
Posted by: Robbin at December 27, 2006 9:49 AMGet a pedometer and wear it. Then you can accumulate miles at kickboxing, or whatever!
Congrats on making your goal!
