So even though I have both long-term goals (over 6 months) and short-term goals (2-6 months and 1 month), Ali thought it would be cool to have a goal this week with an immediate plan of what happens when we don't reach that goal. I was a little hesitant at first, but was peer-pressured into this goal!! Not that this particular peer pressuring is bad - in fact Tyler thought it was doable.
Ali and I both decided to aim for losing 4 pounds this week. If we don't lose it, for every 10th of a pound that we don't lose, we will run 1 lap at the gym. So if I only lose 2 pounds, I will run 20 laps.. hence the title of this saying I'M CRAZY. Tyler thought a reasonable goal was 3 pounds, but that I can definitely do 4 pounds if I don't stray at all and if I work my rear end off. Well, I'm not supposed to stray (eating-wise) anyway and I am already working really hard... and one of my goals this month is to push it harder in my team workouts... so, why not?
Do I think 4 pounds was realistic? NO. BUT what is there to lose? If I don't lose the 4 pounds, I get to run laps - I won't run all of the laps at once - but add them to my daily workouts. And my long term goals include running 5Ks, 8Ks, and 10Ks - so the extra running isn't going to hurt me, it's going to help me. So that's why I let myself get peer pressured into it. If I didn't feel good about it, then I wouldn't have done it. (Seriously, when I have actually been peer pressured into anything...)
