Set a fitness goal. Setting a weight goal for me is self-sabotage. It just doesn’t work. But if I set a goal to say, run a 5K, I’ll stick with it because I have a deadline. A tangible goal that I have to work towards every day. If I don’t train daily for the 5K that I’ve signed up and paid for, I’ll either look like a fool come race day, or I’ll forfeit my money because I wasn’t ready for the race. Neither option works for me. So every year I run at least one local 5K. It’s motivation enough to get my bum outside or on the treadmill.
What fitness goal works for you?

Hello there! I'm Allison Czarnecki, founder + editor of Petit Elefant, a blog all about style on a budget for every part of your life: style / home / travel / family. I do a lot of how-to beauty + style tutorials, travel posts, easy recipes, home remodel projects, and cool DIY crafts you totally want to try. I'm super happily married (to a hot Polish immigrant) and am the mother of two kids, a daughter and son, all of whom are featured here on the regular. We live in the country but we're a little bit rock + roll. Welcome!
This year our insurance is doing a health challenge and the reward is $200 per person at the end of the year. We have to exercise 5 days a week and participate in a health challenge that changes every two months. This time around it is replace sugar with fruit 80% of the time. My husband and I are doing it because, let’s face it, money is money. That’s $400 we didn’t have before. So my fitness goal is to do whatever I have to do get the $ at the end of the year.
