Someone asked me what my fitness goals were the other day. The options they gave me were maintenance and gaining more muscle. I realized, after I was asked that question, that it was a difficult question to answer. When I workout my only goal is to become better. If I'm running, I hope to become a better and faster runner. If I'm lifting weights, I hope to lift a bit more. If I'm doing a workout that I've done before, I hope that I will do it better than the last time I did it. I simply want to be better than I was before.
As I thought about my answer to the question, I realized it is something that I try to or should try to achieve in every aspect of my life. Each day, with each task or each moment, I should be becoming a little bit better.
I should be a better wife each day I learn a little bit more about my husband. I should be a better mother each day I know my girls more. I should be a better teacher each day that I learn a new strategy or trick. I should be a better friend as I get to know my friends and understand them more. I should be a stronger person after going through the fire. I should be a healthier person each time I exercise.
So the answer to the question about my goals is that each moment I want to be stronger, faster, healthier, and wiser than the day before and I will do whatever I can to get to that place.
