March goals

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡I don't know that I'm going to change my goals much this month.  They seem to be working well, but I'm still struggling with a few minor things. The hiking goal is hard when it's so cold and yucky outside.  I feel like I should be doing something, but I don't know what.  I wish I had more money so that the goal could center around buying hiking gear.  Maybe I should work on that. 

Goal 1: getting outside (hiking) . . . In March I will save $20 towards hiking gear.  That is such a small amount, but really I don't know with our current situation if I can do more than that.  If I can I will.  And I will keep my eyes peeled for an opportunity to go hiking with Damian. 

Goal 2: yoga . . . In March I will do some sort of stretching 3 days a week for at least 10 min. and one week of 4 days.
This is working well.  In February I even had a week of 4 days of stretching, so I'm going to add that as part of my goal.  My leg, hip, and knee are all doing so much better with now 2 months of consistent stretching.  I need to renew my last months massage goal and actually complete it, so  I am also going to schedule a massage somewhere.  I first need to find somewhere that will take my insurance.  Maybe I need to call places in Everett where I work. 

Goal 3: PR half and full marathons . . . I will run at least 3 times a week and with a day of speed work.
I am currently trying to prevent plantar faciitis from getting worse, so I don't feel like I can increase my running at this time.  However, I do believe I need to start rolling and icing my foot religiously (right now I'm average once a week on really bad days).  So . . . ice and roll 3 times a week.

Goal 4: healthy eating . . . I will eat a salad 2 times a week, cut back my afternoon coffee to 2 times a week.  Wine on weekends and one day in the middle of the week.
I'm keeping this one.  Maybe I need to change this one up, this will be the 3rd month I've had the same goal (although in February I added the wine component).  This particular goal is to help me lose weight, and I am not losing weight.  My weigh ins this month were consistently in the same range, even a little high one week.  However, my belt was tightened today, but then it was tightened a month ago and then loosened again.  Maybe next month I change it to staying in my calorie range 5 of 7 days (although I'm not usually out of my calorie range, and when I am, not far).

Speaking of calorie range . . . myfitnesspal . . . I had a streak of 868 days.  That is 2 years, 4 months, and 10 days.  And I missed a day.  Just completely forgot.  How do I completely forget after 2 years, 4 months, and 10 days??  I don't know, but I did.  And I was furious.  Mad.  Angry.  Frustrated.  Annoyed. Sad. Very sad. Disappointed.

And as of today I'm on day 5.
