The Low Bar (again)

It's possible I've written about this before, but originality isn't a bar I need to clear. I've lowered the bar to writing something on my mind that feels important.

I'm trying to be a little healthier. I want to be a lot healthier, like thirty-five pounds lighter and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but I keep failing at that.

So the hell with lofty goals.

My "get a little healthier" to-do list this week is:

• Run/Gym 3 times
• Weigh In 3 times
• Walk To Work once There are two checks next to Run/Gym, three at Weigh In, and today I checked Walk To Work. It was just too beautiful this morning not to walk.

If I run or to the gym today, tomorrow, or Sunday, I'll have reached my goals. No big celebration will follow, just a quiet attaboy. These are only low-bar goals.

That's the point.

Change is tough for me. All sorts of things get in the way. Clearing low bars is good. Not great, just good.

And that's good enough.
