On November 23, 2013, I set some goals for myself. These included three medium-term goals about exercise:
♦
Medium Term Goal (one month)
Goal #2: My medium term, four-week goal is to bike every second day for one month (November 23 to December 23, 2013)
Goal #3: My second medium term, four-week goal is to begin 2.5 pound arm weight sessions on days when I am not cycling (November 23 to December 23, 2013)
Goal #4: My third medium term, four-week goal is to begin to go for a short 10 minute walk outside every day (November 23 to December 23, 2013)

Well, I have reached my December 23 goal date. You can see my daily results in the table near the end of this post. In summary, during the month:
♣ I biked on my stationary cycle 13 times. This was fewer than the 16 times intended, but I am on my way to my goal of biking every second day!
♣ I did my weights 6 times during the month, falling short of my goal. However, these are the first weights I have done this year and I am considering this a start in the right direction. I have discovered that I can do weights while I am watching TV, turning an inactive time into an active one!
♣ I walked outside 11 times during the month. I started very well, but the weather was very uncooperative and I did not achieve my goal of walking every day. However, focussing on the positive, I am determined to continue with this goal because walking outside is so good for me, for so many reasons!
