Goal Bucket #1

One of my friends the other day was telling me that she recently had a friend finally reach her weight loss goal.  First of all congrats to her!  Secondly, I want to point out that one of the reasons she was successful was because she documented her journey via the Internet.  She began a blog as way to make a formal commitment to herself and documenting the up and downs of her weight loss journey.  We decided that this in a large part contributed to her success of finally losing the weight and reaching her goal. 

I realize that there are many people who use their blogs in this way and so...I am going to use a portion of this blog to do the same thing.  I am going to create a 'Goal Bucket'.  The Goal Bucket will be a place for me to store my goals.  This way they are all in a central location and easy for me to look at.

The hardest thing about naming a goal can be admitting that you have not achieved something.  To some degree that is something I battle -- admitting ineptitude-- More importantly though, I worry that I will never achieve my goal.  That is where this 'Goal Bucket' is going to be different than the other goal setting initiatives I have seen.  I might decide that I am going to take action right away on one goal and not not going take action on another and that is okay. I do not want to feel any extra pressure to complete my goal before a certain date or make progress at all.  I want to just be able to have a bucket of goals and know that it is safe to collect goals without having to accomplish them right away.  I know it isn't too conventional, but I think it will do the trick!
