What I Didn't Expect to Be the Hardest Goal

Prompted Thoughts

Setting personal goals can be a challenging journey, and sometimes the hardest goal isn't the one we initially expect. I delve into my relationship with goals and reveal that the most difficult challenge I've faced wasn't achieving my fitness milestones, but rather maintaining them.

While it was difficult to achieve weight and running goals, it ended up being the transition to sustaining the achievements that was an unexpdected struggle. Despite the initial victories, the discipline required to maintain progress often felt more daunting than the journey to get there.

Join me as I explore the nuances of goal-setting, the pressures we face, and the surprising lessons learned along the way.
