Happy New Year! Resolutions are meant to be broken, so I don’t make them. But I’ve had some goals for a while that I will share.
I will get to 22% body fat.I’m currently at 30%. My current weight is 145, I’m in a size 6. I have no idea what I’ll weigh, or what size I’ll be when I reach my body fat goal. It really doesn’t matter.
I will do this by running at least 4 times a week, 3 short runs, 1 long run. And I will eat like a person who is at the size I want to be. More fruits and veggies, less starches, only the best sweets when I really want them.
I will have muscle tone and flexibility unlike I’ve ever had before.
I will do this by doing yoga and calisthenics at least 4 times a week.
I will run a half marathon in October. I am currently running 3 mile long runs and am ready to increase my distance.
I will increase by .25 miles a week until I reach 6 miles, as long as my HR stays in the target zone the duration of the run. I will get to 6 miles by Mouse’s 6th birthday (in April). I will then evaluate the best way to proceed to reach the half marathon distance by October.
When I reach my goals, I will feel strong, capable, and proud. I will wear the clothes that make me feel and look good only. I will hold my head high knowing that I achieved my goals through hard work and determination.
Thank you all for coming with me, and this is going to be one awesome year!
I have no doubt that you’ll reach every one of those goals. You’ve paid so much forward supporting the rest of us here in MTMLand, that the law of karma will help you to achieve your goals easily and effortlessly!
You are a wonderful example of what we should do to become healthy and fit. I’ll be eagerly watching you meet every one of your goals. Thanks for being a great motivator for us all.
I love your goals. Resolutions are meant to be broken, goals are meant to be achieved. I can see you running that half marathon now. I’m sure you will be successful. You are an amazing positive example for everyone here.
I just started my new 2008 thread! We need to get back to doing some YBB I’ll be home until the 14th and then I’ll get home early enough (3:15ish) on Tuesdays and Thursdays if you want. Can I come over and run on your treadmill today, please
Hey Bree, that is a great set of resolutions.... errrrrr.... goals you have established for yourself. You should really be proud of what you have accomplished so far and I am impressed with the way you always aspire for improvement! Best of luck in training yourself for that half marathon!
Wow Bree, where does time go? Can you believe that you are on another 100 day challenge?! Look how far you have come from the first time you committed. Your goals sound attainable, especially with your motivation and drive!!! Just take a moment and pat yourself on the back for getting this far-you’ll soon exceed your own expectations!
You guys are the best. I can’t imagine trying to do this without you. Thank you.
Day 2 (1/2)
Inhale yoga
Spent hours on the phone with my internet provider’s customer service. We couldn’t access Webkinz, my daughters’ favorite place in the world. Hubby ended up talking with the guy and they got it fixed. But unfortunately, that kept me off of here for way too long.
Jenn, that stupid web issue is back. Someone is spoofing the DNS server, we think. Hubby found a fix, but won’t be home until late, so I doubt he’ll be able to fix it until tomorrow, or walk me through the fix over the phone tomorrow. Is your man going to the interview dinner tonight too? We should crash their party tomorrow night. There’s a pool at the hotel, we just can’t eat with them, but with a pool, who’d want to?
I’ve gotten half my workout done (got up at 5:30), but am waiting to do the rest until after I finish my errands. Got so cold last night, I have to get another blanket for the bed. But my new shoes just came in and I’m dying to go for my run!
