May Goals
It’s a brand new month as of some days ago, and I realized that I haven’t done a monthly goals post in quite a while. I don’t know how many months it has been, but it seems like a few at least.
I bet you can guess what I have decided to do.
I am quite proud for having made it twelve days straight without skipping a single day of exercise and I did not skip a single rep of exercise. Day thirteen saw me with a fairly nasty shoulder/neck strain that took hot baths, pain pills and multiple massages to get out, but that’s just the name of the game.
Mr. JM and I are currently shopping around for some proper office chairs so that sort of thing doesn’t happen again. Setting my back and hips right with exercise and then sitting in a chair that encourages me to slouch is not a good combination. Until we find a nice chair, it’s back to the exercise ball seating for me.
I will confess that part of my prompting for May goals is that I have a doctor’s appointment next week and I’m a bit freaked out. I haven’t lost any weight and the doc is a bit… intense. I know I’ve had glandular fever, stress and all that stuff since the last appointment, but I would at least like to show her that I have some good habits in place.
On to the goals, which I have written on a notecard that is propped against my monitor right now…
1. Keep a food diary. This slipped off when I got glandular fever and could barely keep my eyes open when doing nothing.
2. Drink at least two litres of water per day. I always have trouble with sticking to drinking, but at least now I have a one litre bottle which will make things easier.
3. Weigh in daily. I’m just doing this for right now to keep myself on the right track.
4. (Continue to) Exercise daily. I had a few days off with the anniversary getaway, but I still got a bit of exercise in, so I don’t feel they’re lost days. Plus, my shoulder and neck probably needed the time off anyway.
There they are. Simple, yet the foundation for wonderful things to come.
What are your goals for this month?

Great goals! They are very doable.
I also have issues with the chair I’m sitting on. We should really get an office chair…

Thanks.
We just bought new office chairs and they are a dream. I work from home, so having a proper chair is a necessity, not just a wish.
