My quest for Goofy 2013

[Hockeychic]

I think every day for the last number of years I have said I was going to lose weight and for a few small successes nothing. I was down 20 lbs and believe it or not in the last week and a half I have gainned back about 7 I am hoping it is all water but not so sure. Worst part is I have a 1/2 marathon in less then 2 weeks. I have decided to restart a new journey beginning January 15, 2012, that is when I get back from Disney.

I have however, decided to make some small changes effective today, with a goal of being at my goal weight of 145 by August 19, 2012 which is the start of trainning for Goofy 2013.

I have done lots of races in the past, included countless 1/2 marathons, 2 marathons and 1 Goofy but was never happy with my times or effort.

Today I agree to:

Increase water consumption to 3 bottles
Cut out all chocolate
Have at least 2 servings each of fruit and veggies.
30 mins of exercise each day

January 1st I agree to cut out all potato chips
Increase water consumption to 4 bottles
45 mins of exercise each day

January 15th I start full force
Continue with the above diet changes including the water but
also cut out all pop and alcohol.
Follow trainning workout pre-planned
Will pre-plan meals to incorporate fish, chicken, salads and brown rice as well as lots of fruits and veggies.

I am hoping since I am easing into this I will be successful.

I have pre-set some races I want to do next year and will strive to better my time and effort on each race.

Day 1 was ok, got in my water, no chocolate and exercise but no fruits and veggies. I was mostly a carb and protien day with left over turkey sandwiches.

Will get them in today.

Hi Kim,

Just wanted to give you a little shout out and congratulations on your new choices I just started running recently and can't even begin to consider a marathon (or half for that matter), so good for you!

I must say that I did cringe a little when I saw you were going to cut out all chocolate and alcohol completely! Don't be so hard on yourself, what's life without a little chocolate and wine now and again
