I set a lot of goals for myself. Perhaps not with specific time frames, but I do set forth things I want to achieve and work out a path to accomplishing them. Reaching them or not, isn't really the point. The point is in trying, in stretching the limits (body or mind), in feeling like I'm doing something, living life.
A few weeks ago, I started running again. With my new hip, I had been slowly working up to this, but I kept moving, stretching and increasing my time on the treadmill. It may not seem like a big goal, but it was to me.
No matter what you want to do, if you don't try it you will regret it for the rest of your life. With health and fitness, with education. with family and friends, you should set forth your "bucket list" and start working on it.
In celebration on this Labor Day weekend, we are enjoying the end of summer with a family picnic. The goal is to enjoy all of the picnic food, all of the family time and worry about the calories tomorrow. It is important to eat healthy as much as you can, to exercise during the week and to take of yourself. However, friends, family, celebrations, picnics, fairs and spending time with people are just as important. Balance is the key.
Enjoy your Labor Day weekend. - Dan
