Day One and Goals

Goal:  to keep me motivated and accountable
Goal:  to keep me focused
Goal:  to keep me balanced
Goal: to keep my expectations (and thus results) realistic

because:

Truth: I am in my mid-thirties
Truth:  I am married and have three young children
Truth: I work full-time in an intellectually stimulating and moderately busy job
Truth: I have very little personal time
Truth: I am very Type-A and very much a black/white thinker

my hope:

By keeping track of my workouts and activities, I can continue my interest in fitness and stay balanced, healthy, and realistic.  In my brain, I am still a young (-ish) woman with no expectations and all the time in the world to commit to my interest in health and fitness.  In the real world, I have priorities that outweigh those interests:  namely my husband and children.  This creates a sense of disappointment and failure:  the feeling that I am not doing enough.  If I have tangible evidence of what I actually am accomplishing, perhaps that feeling of disappointment and failure will disappear?
I currently do not have a specific training goal.  This may be the first goal:  to make one.  But I did train this morning.
