I have to confess that goal-setting, especially short-term, is one of the biggest problems I have. I have this idea of where I want to be -- leaner and more muscular -- but breaking that down into manageable steps seems to be impossible. I also find it easy to get sidetracked -- I was happily working away on such-and-such plan, then I figured out I had mobility problems, so I have to put that on hold and work on mobility.
Now I understand that mobility is essential for staying healthy and sidetracked on mobility workouts is FAR better than sidetracked because of injury. I guess I would like all the short-term goals to fit into a nice linear progression towards the long-term goal and I have trouble visualizing the entire picture when they don't.
