#GoTheDist 2016
wasn’t I just writing out the goals for 2015? For more reasons than this challenge, this year has gone by in a flash. It’s somewhat bizarre to be writing up 2016 goals before wrapping 2015 but a) I’m traveling for the next two days and b) I’ve already been overthinking 2016 way too much. I […]
2016 reading challenge
At least the one I’m planning on at this moment. Level: 50+ Married with Children I think the reason I’m struggling with finishing the A-Z challenge is an issue I’ve had since high school. I hate being told what to read. If I have to read something, I won’t. That’s why I end up avoiding things […]
sometimes, not making goal is OK
about that 333,333K July step goal and second attempt at one million steps? Not happening. And that’s not my usual pessimism speaking either. I realized it back in July but thought I might have a chance at making it up in August. That’s a no. July totals: 310,076 steps 126.97 miles walked August nearly final […]
#GoTheDist: 2015 goals
And I ran out of room in that post… 2015 goals: Steps: 3,400,000 steps Miles Walked: 1,500 Miles Biked: 400 and some explanation: I really wanted my steps goal to be 300,000/month but I’m really not sure that’s attainable in shorter months and don’t want to fall short of my goal. I actually think 3,500,000 […]
#GoTheDist 2014: Complete

2014 Year in Review: Bookworm Edition
I fully accept that I’ll never be as good as Liz at book reviews, but I want to do better in 2015 than I am in 2014 which is five finished reviews and 27/30 Tumblr drafts that were unfinished book reviews. So for 2015 I’m “stealing” Sally’s year end template and will keep that as […]
mini goals met
Who says a week of sloth at the beach isn’t a wonderful thing. Sometime during the week I: destroyed my 2014 reading goal. At 52 as of today with one in the works and other likely to come. And then 7 unfinished. Good run in 2014. Miles: beat my personal and #GoTheDist Q4 goals, My […]
2015 Alphabet Soup Challenge
43 books read as of December 12, 2014 and with a week’s vacation to come, I’ll do well by my 2014 goal, even if I cheated with fiction. Liz’s post got me thinking about a 2015 goal and I wasn’t sure where I was going since without the Bosch series, I don’t really have a […]
#GoTheDist 3.2
or nearly… I’ve finally found the sweet spot between my #GoTheDist goal being a challenge, but an attainable one. I knew that July would be bad, and it was. But I set two goals and I made one of two. The goal was 250K steps and I ended up with 260,908. Mileage goal was 117 […]
#GoTheDist? Pfft Bridge The Dist
after a renewed interest in bridges of late, I have been on a mission. By borough I have crossed as follows: Bronx to Manhattan: Macombs Dam Bridge in May 2013 Manhattan to Brooklyn: Brooklyn Bridge: more times then I can count, also via bike Manhattan Bridge: June 2014 Williamsburg Bridge: Summer 2013 Manhattan to Bronx: […]
#GoTheDist 2.2
About halfway through May I realized that 300,000 steps for the month was doable after just missing it. And then I became a woman on a mission to make it happen. I wasn’t sure if I had since I was away from my spreadsheet but after entering Weds-Sat… I MADE IT! May Totals: 305, 841 […]
#GoTheDist and DietBet: miniupdate
so after (over)thinking about it, I decided to join a DietBet. While they didn’t work perfectly for me, they were a good jump start and that’s what I’d like about now. I also think I’m in a better frame of mind for it then I was when I took a break last year. As an […]
#GoTheDist 2013: Went
I did it, I did it. Yes, you should read that in a complete sing-song voice since I am wearing a pink tiara. Been a good #GoTheDist year, despite a rough start after which I revised my original goal of 750 miles down to 500. Then, in July, I realized my initial goal was doable […]
Bookworm nerd alert
Since I don’t foresee myself finishing Rogues’ Gallery (at all, never mind by tomorrow) or Do You Speak Shoe Lover, I think I’m going to finish 2013 with 35 books read (and 5 unfinished). That is short of my goal, but not bad at all. Huge shout out to the 6 I read while away […]
#GoTheDist Q4: Two months in
Whoops, I’ve been bad here since I discovered Tumblr. My Q4 goals were: 102.7 miles walking and 52.5 miles on the bike. My comment on that was that I hoped to have hit both by the end of November. I nearly hit that in October, walking wise, with 99.11 miles walked but fell short on […]
Accountability 3.0
Via LifeWithFitness.when I was rebuilding the blog, I stopped to read my early thoughts on accountability, which I revisited in April. I said I was going to get the rest of the way to goal this year, and while that isn’t going to happen, the above summarizes my feelings on my progress this year. I’m […]
#GoTheDist minigoal: met
At the beginning of September I said my newest goal was to do better Q3 than Q2 I knew it was going to be a tall order with some long walks this spring, but I thought I could do it. Well Q3 ended this week, how did I do? Time Frame Steps Miles walked Miles […]
Whooah, we’re half way there
Livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it – I swear
Livin’ on a prayer
Holy crap. Not only am I way more than halfway to my 500 miles goal, but I’m almost halfway to my original goal of 750 which I revised in early May. Part of that is due to the improved weather, part due to some ridiculous walks and part due to my determination to beat my daily Jawbone goals. Competitive with myself? Never! But I love my data.
Here’s to an even more amazing Q3 and second half.∞
Go The Dist: Revised
I did it. I finally bit the bullet and revised my #GoTheDist goal for the year. Not because I’m less active than I thought, but because my initial goal was essentially a math error. I bike at roughly 3x the speed I walk, there was no way I was going to hit what was essentially […]
Weigh In: April 7 and Accountability Redux
Loss Since March 10: 1.6 lbs Total Loss: 16.8 lbs I could look at that and be disappointed, but I’ve instead chosen to focus on the last two weeks where I got back on track. I was so good through March 10 but then some things popped up and I wasn’t. I still tracked every […]

Accountability
that’s the new name of my game. I have maintaining down to a science. This year, I’m going to get the rest of my way to goal. Here are some small and big picture things I’m doing to achieve this accountability: Blog. Yeah, we’ll see how that goes. But when I was losing, I was […]

While it […]
so a week into 2012
and I’m mostly still on track. I had a slower start to exercise then I wanted because I started off the year sick. Still, I made myself go to the gym on both Sunday and Monday and even a short workout is better than none at all. So far, I’m in a good place for […]
