Happy Wednesday, and welcome to another “you can, we can” link up!

You Can We Can

A quick update on my goals from two weeks ago:

1. Get into a solid workout routine with the new work year. I’m getting there. It usually takes me a few weeks to adjust to a new schedule, and I’m moving things around as I try to figure out what will work out best for me. You can see what the last two weeks of my work outs looked like in Training Week 1 and Training Week 2  links. 

2. Create a new playlist for my barre class I teach. I’ve gone through and gathered all the songs. I just need to go through it and move songs around to try out different orders until I find the order I like. I probably won’t use the list for another 2 weeks, so I’ve still got a little time. Getting the songs is usually the most work, as I have to find songs that fit certain beats. 

3. Create my half marathon training plan! Done! I allow variation in my plans week to week, as I don’t like being rigid, and like room for when things don’t work out in an ideal fashion. I’ve figured out a general plan, and that’s all I need right now! 

4. Raise some money for Team in Training! I’m running my next half with Team in Training in memory of my grandma, and am anxious to get the ball rolling in fundraising! I haven’t raised any $$ yet, but I’ve moved forward with some fundraising options, so that’s good! 

And my goals for the next two weeks:

1. Use my new playlist in barre class! I want the playlist to be in good working order, which means that I’ll need to run through maybe about half of each song and go through the motions so I can see how the beat works.

2. Get up at least one morning each week before work to exercise. The struggle is SO real. I’ve seriously been struggling so much to get up before my alarm goes off,  but on days I work 12+ hours, exercise beyond a walk just isn’t going to happen. Getting up early will help that.

3. Schedule a fundraising event for Team in Training! 

Now it’s your turn to share! What are some of your goals for the next two weeks? 

****How to Participate in You Can, We Can. 
1. Follow host and cohost(s).
2. Set some goals, talk about your plan for success, and track your progress in your posts.
I’d suggest giving a starting point as a benchmark for your progress. You can document anything else about your goals that you’d like- why you’ve set a particular goal, how you plan to accomplish it, etc. Your first YCWC linkup will obviously just outline your future goals. Your subsequent posts can give updates on your current goals as well as introduce new goals. If you meet a goal set in a past YCWC post, you can share anything related to meeting your goal. What worked, what motivated you to achieve your goal. And what didn’t work. Feel free to add to, delete, or modify your goals.
3. Link up through Barefoot Thunder or a co-host’s blog, and feature the YCWC button on your post or a text link to the host + co-host post.
4. Comment on at LEAST 1 other linked-up blog.
*(Optional, but recommended!)- Use the “#YCWClinkup” hashtag to chronicle milestones in between linkups! Keep up with fellow “You Can, We Can” bloggers and encourage each other as we move towards our goals!
*(Optional, but recommended!)- If you meet a goal, please include somewhere in your next YCWC Linkup title, “GOAL MET!” Then I can feature you in the next link-up to recognize your hard work! This is the only way to ensure I do not miss anybody who meets a goal!
So mark your calendars for the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month! I can’t wait to encourage each other to make some goals and meet ‘em!!
