The Goals That Scare Me for Year Two

▸ Show notes from the creator
Ashley breaks down what she's learned after a full year of daily movement and why this was never meant to be a temporary challenge. She talks about her goal to consistently reach for 20 pound and 10 pound dumbbells, her hope to finally fit into smaller pants after dropping four sizes, and her plan to move throughout the entire day instead of just during workouts. She also shares why she wants to grow the accountability community and get more people moving, plus the new activities she's adding to her routine, including hiking, biking, dance classes, and maybe even kickboxing.

The thing is, though, this was never a challenge.
00:09
What's up, my movers and shakers? Famous Ashley
00:11
Grant here. Welcome to More Movement, Please,
00:12
the podcast where I hope to inspire you to move
00:14
your body more. Day 365 is less than a week away,
00:19
and I'm thinking a lot about what my goals are
00:23
for year two, and I kind of want to share them.
00:30
The fact that I'm hitting this year milestone
00:32
doesn't mean anything's stopping. If anything,
00:36
I plan to amp things up. Because this was never
00:39
a challenge. This was about actually making a
00:42
sustainable lifestyle change. And that should
00:44
be what your fitness journey is for you. This
00:48
shouldn't be a 30 -day challenge and then you
00:51
stop. A, oh, I'm going to go on this diet for
00:55
a few weeks and then stop. It should be... I'm
00:59
gonna move my body every single day. I'm gonna
01:01
make a commitment to change my life. And that's
01:04
what I did. And so some of my year two goals
01:08
do look different than my year one goals. My
01:11
year one goals were basically just show up every
01:13
day and move your body every day. And it wasn't
01:18
about trying to get a certain number of hours
01:20
on the calendar. It wasn't about trying to, you
01:25
know, meet a number of classes. It was more about
01:29
trying to make sure I move my body every single
01:32
day. And it was also about just showing up for
01:37
myself in a way that I never had before. So for
01:42
year two, my goal is to always be reaching for
01:48
the 20s and 10s. 20 pounds dumbbells for my big
01:52
weights and my 10 pound dumbbells for my small
01:54
weights. At some point, I might get to the point
01:58
where I'm like, okay, even that's a little too
02:00
light. And I look forward to that day. I hope
02:03
that day comes soon. But I want it to be a consistent
02:08
thing that I am constantly reaching for the 20s
02:11
as my bigs and 10s as my smalls. The other thing
02:15
I want is I want to get into a small pair of
02:18
pants. Previously, I didn't even think that was
02:21
in the realm of possibility. But to lose four
02:26
pant sizes in one year, I feel like I might actually
02:29
have a shot at getting down to smalls. And I
02:33
would love that. I also want to inspire more
02:39
people to move their bodies. That's the whole
02:42
reason that I'm starting the accountability community
02:45
is I want to talk to people and talk to them
02:50
about working out. And I want this to be. a movement
02:53
of movement in a way that I didn't quite achieve
02:57
in year one, but I want to get a lot more active
03:01
with it, with trying to make it happen. So though
03:05
that's not exactly a movement goal for me, it
03:09
is a movement goal for others. So I really want
03:12
that to be something that is big in year two
03:16
for me, is building this community into something
03:21
huge. And I still have the goal of moving my
03:28
body every day. And I definitely want to make
03:31
sure that in year two, I am moving at least an
03:34
hour a day. But I also want to move more throughout
03:38
the day. I've been thinking a lot about how when
03:42
I sit down to work, I need to be getting up all
03:46
day every day, like throughout the day. So I
03:49
foresee myself setting a lot more timers. to
03:52
get up and do Zumba dances, get up and do jumping
03:56
jacks, get up and do squats or planks or wall
04:00
sits or wall pushups or something that makes
04:03
me move a hell of a lot more than I am. I don't
04:07
foresee myself pushing myself into a mold to
04:11
constantly be taking classes. I do love the fitness
04:16
community that I'm part of. I love going to the
04:20
YMCA as often as I do and working out with my
04:23
gym buddies. I really love that and I don't ever
04:26
want to stop working out with other people. And
04:30
I don't want to stop Zumba because I've told
04:32
y 'all many times that's my favorite thing, my
04:34
favorite way to work out. So I want to do more
04:37
Zumba and I want to work out with more people,
04:39
but I don't want to force myself to only restrict
04:42
it to taking classes at the gym. I want to do
04:45
a lot more than that. I want to do more hiking.
04:48
I want to do some biking. I want to do some trails
04:51
and just different kinds of movement. I want
04:55
to take dance classes. I want to take dance classes
04:58
and I want to go country line dancing. I've even
05:01
talked to my husband about possibly taking kickboxing
05:03
classes or getting back into some form of martial
05:06
arts because I do miss Taekwondo. I'm thinking
05:10
about all kinds of movement that I put on the
05:13
back burner for two decades. For year two, I
05:18
just, I know that I want to move a hell of a
05:20
lot more. And I want to inspire others to move
05:25
a hell of a lot more too. So I hope that you
05:28
will consider joining me on this journey. And
05:31
I want you to be part of the community. Head
05:35
to FamousHashaGrant .com backslash group and
05:38
join our group. I would love to have you as part
05:40
of it. And tell me your goals. I want to know
05:44
what you want. I want to know how you intend
05:46
to move your body every day. And the hope is
05:51
that I continue celebrating my milestones and
05:55
I want to celebrate yours too. I want us all
05:58
to be so excited about moving our bodies that
06:02
we all achieve things that we may not realize
06:06
are possible. Because I'll tell you right now,
06:09
some of the things I'm achieving now, I didn't
06:12
see as possibilities a year ago. And I want that
06:16
for others. I want that more than anything. So,
06:21
so yeah, year two is going to look a little different
06:25
in terms of classes, but I definitely am going
06:28
to keep moving. I definitely will keep moving
06:30
my body and hopefully continuing to get stronger
06:34
and more physically fit. Because like I said,
06:41
this wasn't a challenge that I was going to do
06:43
and then stop. It's become part of my identity.
06:48
I'm no longer just the person who sits at my
06:53
desk all day. I'm now the girl that wants to
06:58
move as often as I can. And I'm excited for what's
07:02
next. I don't know exactly what comes next, but
07:05
I'm excited for it. And I plan to continue celebrating
07:09
every milestone. Onwards and upwards, my friends.

Have you worked out today?
