Goal Setting Goals

I am setting a goal today...to set some goals.  I have been in a micro-funk the past few hours (which some of us might call "waking up on the wrong side of the bed") and have decided to yank my whiney ass out of it.  I have had a bit of "writer's block" which is really "Writer's Unwillingness to sit Down and Write". 

So I'm going to set some goals and cross "set goals" off of my to-do list.

1) Finish a novel

One word at a time.  I can do this!  I just have to open that notebook again!  Unfortunately, the title "Love's Secret Sniper" seems to have been taken.  Damn. 

2) Do the Couch to 5K thing.

  I've been playing around with this idea for a while, and actually went out a couple of weeks ago and bought new shoes and jogged a couple of times.  But that hurts.  My sciatica flared up, my arches are whining, I am whining.  Which means I should maybe slow down a little and not aim for a five minute mile...maybe I'll just sign up for something in the fall, and try to aim for running half of it and walking the rest.  One step at a time.

3.  Lose thirty pounds. 

Can you say:  "Body Image Issues"? 

Eh, Whatever.  One pound at a time.  Starting tomorrow. 

I really mean it this time!
