Late tonight... just got in from a close. True to my hope from yesterday I had a nice healthy eating day. Still surprising to me how a day of healthy eating can make me feel soooo good.
Someone mentioned something to me tonight about goals. It started me thinking (natch). What is my goal after this goal. It's kind of a dumb question cuz it presupposes that this Project will be finished, the "goal" so to speak will be accomplished and it's time to move on to the next goal. I don't think things happen like that. I think the thing we set our minds to do: weight loss, regular exercise, learning a new language, being kinder when you can, just becomes something that we have to integrate into our everyday. There can be no "finish". I'm certainly aware that the way I treat my body now needs to be ongoing. Even if I make it to 50 lbs, I can't stop. There is no stopping. This is just how I live my life and how I intend to continue to live it.
Goals can never be finite, at least not the goals I'm most interested in. If I had to use a blanket term for what the Project's goal has been I'd say "self-improvement'. That can never stop. Goals are great and certainly something to strive for so maybe my next goal is not ever being finished trying to make myself better :)
