grammar - using "should" in past tense

I have the follow example sentence:



"I made the decision to work toward these goals. But, I was stuck. Should I choose goal X or goal Y?"



Using 'should' here feels a bit awkward to me, so I'm not sure if it's grammatically correct.



Update: I read that it's possible to use "should" in either past or present tense, but I couldn't find a lot on the internet about it. And so, I wanted to figure out if in this particular instance it was grammatically correct. I thought perhaps it would be more correct to say, "Was I to choose goal X or goal Y?"
