We had our "commitment" bbq last night at Sarah's house. If there is anything that I've learned over time since trying to "increase physical activity" and "decreasing caloric intake" it's been to make SMART goals. That is to say it is imporant to state one's goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Trackable. In the process it is very important to go public with one's goals. So, last night we celebrated Art and Michelle who are going to do the half marathon on October 17th. We also heard from Sarah, Amy, Andrea, Traci, Brenda and myself who are going to the entire marathon. Linda and Staci are potentials in the relay for the marathon. Bob and Mark are planning on doing the entire marathon but were not present to publically commit to the event.
Uta brought us the cake with the "sneakers" on it. However, we are not "sneakers" when it comes to our goals. We are out in the OPEN!
