Non-weight loss goals

I used to be like: "Do a proper push up? Me? Chea, alright!!"

When I first started out, my main goals were to live healthier (being able to make healthier choices) and lose weight. But as time progressed and I started seeing results in every way possible, my focus shifted. I started getting stronger, fitter, my stamina has increased tremendously. Instead of focusing on weight loss, I set other amazing goals for myself:

1. When I started, I couldn't do a single push-up on my toes. Sure I could do tons of reps on my knees, but holding a plank was already shit for me. As weeks progressed and I lifted more and more, I (obviously) got stronger. I loved noticing how not only my endurace increased, my strength did too. Before I knew it, I could do 3 push-ups on my toes, then 6. My goal now is to be able to do 15 push-ups full on. I don't have a deadline set, because I simply don't know how long it is going to take.
2. Just being able to wear whatever I want! I love shopping for clothes, but I can tell you it is terrible when the first thought on your mind is: is that going to fit me? How is that going to look on me? I am tired of that. Even though I can shop at normal stores and don't have to look in the plus-size department 90% of the time, I am not always happy what clothes look like on me, simply because I imagine them looking different.
3. Long-term goal: being able to run 5k. I know this is a goal that is nowhere in the near future. I can hardly do intervals for 3km. I have pretty good stamina, but somehow, running has never been my thing. I want to start off slowly and see how far I get. 5k would be great. The only problem I have: I just can't be bothered running when it is cold. My nose gets runny 3 minutes in.
4. To prove people wrong. I am sure that there are people that are doubting me. Yes, I have tried losing weight many different ways. Some with success, some without, but I have always gained the weight right back. I am going to be honest and say that anything I have ever tried was terrible. Unhealthy, for my body and for my mind. Therefore, I am now doing it the healthy way. The way you're supposed to do it, if you want long-term results. It is a lifestyle change, for real. I will show people that this is the best way. Not the only way, but the best way.
5. Hiking up Runyon Canyon is probably the biggest goal I could accomplish. Every time I go to LA, I want to hike up here. It is the most amazing spot in LA (or so I have been told). It is quite a tough hike but at the top, the view is absolutely priceless. I think when I get to the top I will feel like I have reached the ultimate dream :)
