So my long time and new readers know I am desperately trying
to lose weight. So after some inspiration from SUSAN to “add on the miles” I
have decided I will track my miles per week which I have never done before. I
have also decided to continue to take group exercise classes whenever possible because
I am embarrassed to stop before the class is over LOL. This way I am sure to
get the full 30-60 min of the class plus my miles. So starting Monday (it feels
good to say that and know that I have been working out and not binge eating) here
are my new goals:
- Complete a total of 25 miles per week (Monday- Sunday) with at least 10 of those miles done on the treadmill… (I have a new thing where I ride the bike when I am tired and while I want to count those miles I also need to be getting my walk/jog/run on)
- Shave a whole two minutes off my mile time by December 1, 2012
- Work out at least 6 days per week for at least 45 minutes at a time
- Dedicate 15 minutes per day to my LPC test (more once registered)
- Blog
at least twice a week with one of the blogs being an update on these and
possibly other goals
Now what is goal setting without REWARDS!!!!!! SO I have
given myself little rewards along the way. I am definitely working class so I
had to space these goals out! LOL… here they are:
- Lose 15 pounds- buy
someone new cute gym outfit (as of today I am 8 pounds down from my unbelievably high tear jerking start weight) - Lose 25 pounds- buy new
gym shoespumps from Bakers with the bag to match - Lose 40 pounds- go wedding dress shopping and not cry in the dressing room – (that’s a different post) PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN BY MARCH!!!!
- Lose 65 pounds- Hello old body, new wardrobe and most importantly- WALK DOWN THE ISLE FULL OF CONFIDENCE IN A MERMAID/ FIT AND FLARE DRESS AND MARRY MY BEST FRIEND!!!!
Looking at these numbers it seems so hard. But what is
harder is not being able to come out of the dressing room because you are
ashamed and on the verge of tears, being winded from tying your shoe, changing
clothes 1000 times every morning looking for something that doesn’t make me
look sooo big, and constantly pulling on my shirt to hide the rolls that
everyone can see and in my mind are staring at…. So I think going to the gym
and popping in a workout DVD when I can’t make it will be just fine!
Thinking my poooor hair... smh |
Turbo Jam Cardio Party 3... it won today... I tried to stay "high tempo" the whole tape... |
Oh yea does anyone know how to add one of those mile
trackers to your blog?...
I haven't done it yet, but there is a site called Daily Mile. You have to find their "widget". Then you go into your layout, add a gadget and choose HTML to put that on your sidebar or wherever you want. I like your goals and your rewards!
ReplyDeleteThanks! and thanks for the inspiration to add on the miles!!!
