I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 71: A New Weekly Exercise Goal
For a while, my exercise goal has been to exercise for 30 minutes or more, 5 days a week. After consistently NOT meeting this goal, I decided to change the goal to 3 hours of exercise a week, whether it's 30 minutes or an hour or whatever amount of time needed in order to reach that goal.
Result: I didn't reach my goal this week. I procrastinated exercising until the last 3 days of the week, and because I was doing new workouts that I hadn't done before, I got quite sore and was not able to complete 3 hours of exercise during the last 3 days of the week.
I learned quite quickly that is far smarter for me to spread the 3 hours out rather than try to cram it in at the end of the week. Technically I could do it, but I can't be super sore and be able to function at the same time. Hopefully I learned my lesson!
