Default Non Scale Goals

Almost a year ago, I posted on the Nat Body Challenge forum about all the mini goals I could brainstorm. I just wanted to share, and wondered what other mini goals you all have. I'm always looking for things to add to my list.

Old goals:
* Weigh 190 lbs - DONE
* Weigh 180 lbs - DONE
* Weigh 170 lbs
* Touch my toes without feeling like my legs are ripping in half.
* Wear my "skinny" jeans (which used to be my "fat" jeans in college) - DONE
* Wear my "skinny" jeans from college
* Feel good in a bathing suit
* Catch someone staring at me in a good way
* Run/jog 5 minutes without stopping - DONE
* Run a 12 minute mile - DONE
* Be able to do 10 unmodified push-ups
* Buy clothes in a store that doesn't carry women's sizes
* Be able to fit into a Victoria's Secret bra
* Be able to do all the routines correctly in a step class at the gym
* Consistently wear a size 16 - DONE
* Size 14
* Size 12
* Be able to button my winter coat even with a sweater on
* Actually like my picture with my arms up on a roller coaster
* Try a new fruit
* Try a new vegetable
* Try a new recipe from a healthy cooking magazine or cookbook
* Lower my cholesterol without medication
* Or, if I'm put on medication, work with my doctor so that I don't have to be on it long - In process. 100% normal w/ meds

So I was wondering, what can I add to my list?
Run a
  • 5k
  • Run a 10k
  • Swim 4 laps freestyle w/o stopping
  • Climb a rock wall

My goals aren't anything super spectacular at the moment. We're sorta trying to get pregnant so I'm not setting long term goals. I also have some health issues that are giving me fits. I'm not complaining about them...I just need to be careful not to over do it (like I did today).

Goals by July

- run two miles
- deadlift 100lbs
- and i wanted to be able to do a pull up on my own but my chiropractor doesn't want me doing them, even assisted. i um...cheat a little on that one.

I just bought a pair of size 16 jeans (not womens- regular) from a table at Costco. I've NEVER been able to do that before.

I have a few of these. I find it very discouraging to put all my energy into focusing on that "magic number" on the scale, so instead I try to think about what that number will actually mean to me, and what being in shape will allow me to do. So far, my goals are...

1. Backpack a 15 mile day.
2. Run a 5k (...in less than 40 mins, less than 30 mins, etc.)
3. Run a 10k (...same as the 5k).
4. Wear a bikini in public without shame! lol
5. Look good in the dressing room mirror
6. Have visable abs!
7. Run in public on the trail w/ the puppers.
8. Have toned arms that don't jiggle!

I'm sure I have more lol, that's about all I can think of at the moment
