Goals for Year 2~!

Well, I made it a year, and year in the bogging world, granted I have disappeared and reappeared several times over =)
And so I am starting my 2nd year on this journey so I am going to post my 2nd year goals.

~Lose 40lbs this year, ending at 160
~Run a Race every month for a year (I started this in March)
~Run 2 half's in one year
~Register for a FULL Marathon
~Take a picture in my Wedding Dress again
~Throw away all clothing larger then a size 12 (hopefully larger then a 10)
~Complete a 5k (Virtual or actual) less then 28:00 (current best time 31:55)
~When School starts back, spin at least once a week, and hopefully twice

SO, I have stopped the medical dieting. I have wavered a little since doing so 2 weeks ago, but I am hopefully making a comeback. I am going back on Atkins. Which works best for me =) I am hoping to actually drop some weight quick and get BELOW 200! I have been bouncing between 200 and 204 since March and that is just ridiculousness!

My running has really picked up, and I mean for real. Interval is working out well. I am pushing myself harder and harder at the gym everyday when it comes to running and I am sure that will start to show soon. Monday I ran my full work out at 7.5 speeds at least. Wednesday I ran a pace run at 6.5. Ran the full mile at 6.5 the walked a quarter of mile and was right back at it for 3 run miles.  Starting next week I am upping the mileage in preparation for the half in September. I will be doing 8,5,3,3. 8 mi Mondays, 5 wed, 3 Fri & Sat. The 2nd 3 may have to hold off we will see how my shins play it out. I have run a race every month since March. My 1st race this year I have a 34:something min race time, 2 weeks ago I ran an ULTRA hilly race course for the best time every of 31:55.

Ok so y9\ear 2 here we go!!!

Till Later

Refind the Motivation!

I am up 2 to 202 =( but in all fairness I have had all kids of bad bad bad food. I have been stressed about my test (which I just took and passed so yay!). My husband has been suffering from a goat flare up which is just awful, so between me being stressed and him being in constant pain we have been getting on each others nerves. I will say I was glade tonight when he said that he would be glad when my test was over and when he felt better so we could get back to being us. I was starting to feel like I was the only one feeling so disconnected. But needless to say I feel like I actually FEEL my thighs expanding again! I know that is so not true, but still feels that way. I am getting ready to head to Memphis for my sisters wedding on Friday and I MUST find the motivation to keep losing! After my last weight in at the Dr's office last month I am thinking about stopping the program =/ and taking the medication. I am not sure if it is really helping me at all to begin with. I guess I will make that decision when I get back in 10 days as I don't weight in for another week. I wanted to go in before we left but that would be tomorrow, and I would show no weight lose for 3 weeks so I am think that will be a no go. I am just worried now that if I go out of town without weighing in that I will come back and weigh even more, exp with the wedding being the Sunday before we come back =/ ugh I just HAVE GOT TO start making better food choices that is what it boils down to.

Ok well I am off to bed.

Till later
