Fitness Goals

My rest day is over and now it's time to get back into action.
You can check back later tonight to see my workout for the day.
Breakfast started out with a Fiber One: Oats and Chocolate bar.
Nutritional Facts: Calories: 140, Total Fat: 4 grams, Sodium: 90 mg, Carbohydrates: 29 grams, Fiber: 9 grams, Sugar: 10 grams, Protein 2 grams.
Lunch was a banana and peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat.
I have been thinking a lot about fitness goals today. I was reading Caitlin's blog this morning and she was listing the races she has coming up. It made me realize, I need attainable fitness goals.
I don't run too many races anymore, although I would love to run some 10k's or half marathons in the future. I have a very far off goal of completing a triathlon, but that is not feasible right now, so what fitness goals can I set for myself?
Fitness goals (Feb 4th-April 30th):
1. Complete at least 4 days of weight training a week (I want arms like Jillian Michaels) :)
2. Complete at least 4 days of cardio a week
3. Go to 2 Body Pump classes a week (these count as weight training).
4. Complete at least one long run (5+ miles) a week. (These typically happen on Sunday's because it coincides with my boyfriend's long run on his marathon training schedule).
I typically work out 5 days a week so I think these are all very attainable goals. I just need to stay focused, organized, and motivated.
I am going to take before and after pictures starting today (before) and ending on April 30th (after). I think seeing results really help you to stay motivated.
Off to the gym for my workout, to shower, and then heading over to a friend's house for dinner and a movie.
What are your fitness goals? Do you think mine are enough or do you think I should push for something more? I welcome all opinions!
