Sharing my personal Goals

I wrote about Goal Setting, and I wanted to share my own goal log, as an example of how I work towards my own personal goals. This is a c/p from my ongoing document titled "Kate's Fitness Goals". It illustrates how goals change, schedules adapt, successes are met..... this dates all the way back to my pregnancy last year. I revise/update it every 8-12 weeks.
