Kim is doing the Goofy 2010

[Hockeychic]

I had started one of these journals ages ago and can't find it so I thought I would start another one as time ticks closer to my goofy marathon, which will also by my first marathon.

A little background for anyone who wants to read it. I am 43 years old and married to my awesome DH for almost 22 years, however we have been couple for many years before that. We have 2 kids, Kevin 20 and Kaitlyn almost 17.

I have tried unsuccessfully in vain to lose weight but I am just never consistant enough to do that. A few years ago I lost 40 pds mostly by giving up pop and I gained it all back.

I have approx 45 - 50 pds to lose before I do my goofy marathon in January. That is basically 2 pds a week which is totally doable, I just have to do it.

Every monday I want to enter my weight and 3 major measurements and try to keep track also of my food and exercise. Offical goofy training doesn't start until Aug 23, 2009 but am trying to get quite a bit of weight off before that. I am doing a few challanges for push ups and sit ups as well as continuing with my cardio.

The road to Goofy begins today!!!

Hi Kim,
A few of us on here are doing the same thing- weight loss and training for the 1/2, full or goofy.

I did the full last year and will do the 1/2 in January.What a blast! It is an experience of a lifetime.

Welcome and please chime in on my journal as well.Everyone needs a little motivation and we are all in this together.

What training plan are you using?

Linda
