As usual, you've posed an interesting question that has me thinking.

I guess my physical goals are centered around my efforts at the gym and they tend to change weekly. Can I add 2 minutes or 1 intensity level on the cross trainer? Can I add 5 lbs. to one of the machines I'm using? Can I increase by 10 the number of calories I burn on the rower? I don't do well with large goals or ones too far in the future-- probably because of the amount of weight I have to lose. One future goal I've been mulling is to finally brave the stair stepper. Even with my increased fitness, my legs still ache when climbing stairs, so I've been leery about using it.

I can really relate to the crossing legs goal-- was thrilled to find at church recently that I can now cross my legs if I'm wearing jeans or pants with spandex. Still need to lose more to cross them while wearing my dressier synthetic-material pants.
