Goals can become habit, they can improve your overall life,
and even other’s. Some goals can be life
changing events. My current goals that change my daily routine
are to learn about & participate (& do well) in the Mrs. Idaho Pageant
(plus all the community involvement that goes along with it!). I need to work out to become physically fit
enough to be on stage in a swimsuit, without having a panic attack. I do have other things in life I would like
to do, but I have not created a plan for those.
This is where I have prioritized my time.
There is a person in my life that has been an uplifting
voice, encouraging attitude, and perfect picture of endurance. It is my sister-in-law, Lindsay. She is always smiling, and sharing positive
and kind words. I’ve never heard her
speak ill of another person or put anyone down.
I enjoy being around her, hearing from her, and having her as family and
a friend.
Lindsay was a source of inspiration to me this past weekend. Lindsay told me a few months ago she was doing
a sprint triathlon. She was nervous, but
used her knowledge and resources and trained.
Lindsay did research on bikes, attire, wet suits, and training
schedules. She watched YouTube videos to
help her be a better swimmer. She went
to the gym and swam laps (sometimes twice a day), rode bikes, and ran. She practiced transitioning between swim,
bike, & run. She studied the course
map and drove the race route. She
practiced swimming in open water; she practiced riding the bike route. Lindsay has a hubby who made a great support
team! She also had a pretty fun cheering
section. ;)
It is such an inspiration of how goal setting should
be. Make a plan, work toward that plan, and
don’t give up. Having an event at the
end really helps. You know you have to
have it done by a certain time. My
personality type needs something like that to help accomplish goals. The Pageant as a deadline has been good for
me. Now I want to try a triathlon
too!! Lindsay has given me a lot of energy
& great tips. I know triathlon
season is about over & I’m concentrating on the pageant right now. But I would love to do one next spring/
summer.
I don’t feel like I’m saying anything new. But hopefully this gives you a nice reminder,
a gentle push, or new perspective to goal setting; and maybe even physical
fitness. Please share goals you have set
& are working on, or have accomplished!
I would love hear your success stories.
Share some of the struggles you have had while working on goals. Let’s see if a new perspective can help!!?

Fitness goals are great! Do you have any other goals you could share with us? I would love to hear more about what you are doing to train for pageant too!
