Setting Goals

[SleeveNoob 95]

I've learned with my workout routine if I go to the gym I get bored and quit before I should. every other day when my workout buddy and I walk our 4 miles we find a spot that we want to walk to for example we walked out of our city into another city...was only 4 miles but we did it and were proud! In two days we will find another spot and walk there. I'm 3 1/2 Weeks out of surgery and am amazed I can walk this far. Any other workout ideas to do that are not in a gym?

Hey Crystal! I'm so glad you posted this, I've been struggling with my walks (boring around the block walks)

Your idea to walk to a specific location is great! I think ill start setting some goals, different places id like to walk to

Thanks again!

I know exactly how you feel! I always go to the gym and do the elliptical and lately I haven't been going because it gets boring! So, I started thinking about what I want to complete after I have my sleeve. (I'm in my last week of 3 mo program) I decided on a sprint triathlon (750m swim, 20k bike, 5k run). I did a ton of research about them and I am super pumped! I joined a triathlon website and report all my workouts and the people on the boards hold me accountable and really support me it's great! So I caught the bug :-) I'm doing the couch to 5k program and I run along the river (3 days a week) then I swim and bike (machine at gym) 3 days per week. I feel it keeps me from getting bored and I don't use a scale. I try to focus on training for the event vs. working out for weight loss because I know I'm losing weight! The darn scale has haunted me my whole life so I just tucked it away and am focusing on eating right and improving my workouts! I have been doing this for a month now and am excited to get home from work and see if I can jog further ect.
