A few weeks ago, I alluded to the fact that I’d soon be writing more about my health and fitness goals for 2010. Well, that time has come, and I’ve decided that I’m just going to focus one one goal for this year…

This is just a quick note to say Happy New Year! We’ve been out of town since before Christmas, and won’t be back home for another couple of days. While we’ve been away, I’ve managed to squeeze in a few walks and lots of playing with the kids (including an afternoon of football), but nothing else.
A few weeks ago, I had an epiphany when it comes to maintaining motivation for an exercise program. Instead of setting “idealized” goals that I’d periodically fail to meet, I’ll be much more consistent in the long run if I set my sights a bit lower.
I’m 6′5″ and far from what I would consider “fat.” Nonetheless, I could stand to lose a few pounds, so I thought that it was high time that I formalized a goal. My approach thus far has been to simply focus on leading a healthier lifestyle, figuring that weight loss will be a byproduct of any changes that I make.
Last week I decided that I was to start working toward 100 pushups (see here for details). I actually first heard about it from Blaine Moore, and it sounded like an interesting challenge, so I thought I’d give it a shot.
