Practical Goals

Losing weight and being healthier are pretty general goals. Making short-term measurable goals helps to achieve the overall desire. A loss of just two pounds/week is pretty achievable, and easily measured...most of the time. I'll have to see how that goes while we're traveling.

Simple bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups, planks, etc., and some yoga and Tai Chi can be done anywhere. It's just a matter of doing them.

I'm not planning on running a marathon or even a 5K. Actually I'm not planning on running at all. As a matter of fact, I think I'll make my first physical goal to be something as simple as being able to bend over to tie my shoes and breathe at the same time. 
Now that's a practical goal!
