Goals

My next 90-Day Challenge will begin soon. I'm still trying to decide what my new goal will be. That seems to be my problem with each new challenge. I don't really have a clear specific goal in mind. I just hit the gym hard and see what happens. I have great results with each challenge, but that will take me only so far.
I have a counseling session with Coach Steve about once a month just to make sure I keep on track and don't waste any time. I want to be sure I keep heading toward these ambiguous goals I have. I love to read others' success stories, but they always have great goals. Some big accomplishment, like running a marathon or competing in a figure competition. None of that interests me. So what's left?
I want to be strong! Coach Steve told me to figure out what "strong" means to me. That's hard for me to figure out too. I don't know what I'm capable of. I guess that's where the satisfaction of crushing a goal comes in. Set it, go after it, and crush it to pieces. I love setting new PRs.  I get great satisfaction from lifting a weight 3x that was once my 1RM. And of course, I want to look good too.  Somewhere between figure competitor lean and bodybuilder bulk.
This post is mainly for my own benefit. To help me figure out where I'm headed. I keep changing my mind.  Once I figure out where I'm going, Coach Steve will help me make a plan to get there. One day all those things he keeps telling me will all click at once and then I'll be unstoppable.  With each counseling session I take away a little tidbit and implement it. Everything is starting to come together and I know great things are still happening under the surface. Head down, step by step, just keep going. I'm going to work on small performance goals, like mastering double unders. I want to be able to do 50 DU in a row. There, that's goal #1!  Woohoo! Now we're getting somewhere. Let the Challenge begin!
