Nothing special just me Kim

[Hockeychic]

Couldn't think of anything whitty or funny to put in my title line so just plain and simply it is me Kim. I have tried this before. More times then I care to admit. I have made some great strides with my health and getting more active, I have completed 1 goofy marathon, 1 marathon, numberous 1/2 marathons and lots of shorter distance races over the last couple of years. However, I am still over weight, actually in all that trainning I have not really lost a pound. My starting weight was 205 and as of this morning I am at 199.6 and it has fluctuated a few pounds but nothing to be proud of.

I have made a recommitement to myself, 2011 is going to be the year of me. I have many races on my calender for 2011 starting with the Disney marathon, I will be walking this event and it will take me probably the entire 7 hours to complete but no doubt I WILL COMPLETE IT.

I have started with a healthy eatting plan recently and it has me feeling good, not seen any movement on the scale yet but I am OK with that, I feel great.

I turn 45 in Feb and that means the climb to 50, I do not want to be fat and 50 so I am giving myself this year to lose the extra 50 or so extra pounds I am carrying. As a reward I will once again tackle the 2012 Goofy Marathon but I will rock it. I will work on a time goal that I will set probably about mid August to see where I think I will be able to finish.

I also pledge to keep a journal going here to keep myself accountable and also be able to go back and check back how I am doing and want works and doesn't work for me.

Thanks Linda!!!

Yesterday was a good day, got in all my exercise and eatting was pretty much on track. Lesson learned, did not eat enough through the day so wanted to eat everything in sight when I got home but fortunatley did not make any bad choices.

This morning, exercise is in the bag, just have my 50 min trainning walk tonight. Breakfast was my usual which is always good and well balanced.

My lunch is cooking as we speak,just have to go cut up some veggies.

Good Monday Morning!!! Well weekend wasn't good but I knew it would be, we where heading out with family and friends and there would be no cooking facilities all restaurant food. I weighted in at 201.2 this morning but I am hoping that is just alot of water retention since I didn't eat alot but what I did eat was probably full of salt.

Back at it with a force this morning, no exercise schedule for this morning but I do have it at lunch and after work so all it good and we are back on track.

Kim: I know from reading some of your other posts that you'll do great with this 2011 challenge. If you've done Goofy once, you can certainly get it done again, right? I think you've given yourself a good amount of time by having over a year. I turned 40 this year and it got me motivated to do all these silly races. I had never even considered distances before but here I am training for Goofy this year!

Good luck!

WOW! You've done allot of races, congrats!
I've been trying to walk a 15min pace on the treadmill and that is a fast walk, I have a hard time keeping it up for more then an hour. I can't imagine 7!
