Well here I am! I haven't posted since December. So much has happened. Some good some bad, some I'll talk about some I won't, some today, some later on.
Health-wise what is up?!
So I got down to a low weight in June - I'd lost about 22 lbs. I found that running and strength training were a huge help to losing the lbs and inches.
My fave part is I have a Fitbit! I am in love with it. I love that it tracks my steps, sleep, exercise, etc. I have it synced with my MyFitnessPal (the options for food entries are so much better - and I have friends and family on MFP so I don't want to lose that). I'm proud of my MFP streak - I've logged in for 181 days straight.
I bought a Camelbak water bottle and I love it, the water seems to go so much faster, I think I like the straw, lol - I know I'm a dork. It's red which goes along with my Husker addiction.
My husband bought me a Nike GPS watch and I'm getting used to using it. It is easier to use than the other running watch I have, but both are nice.
I have gained back about 12 lbs, so I am going back to what works. I have restarted C25K, I just finished week 1. I am going to try to push it, maybe combine weeks, because I am running my first 5K in November, and I want to be able to run the whole thing!
The first week of May I ran my first 5K distance around my neighborhood - no stopping! This was the best and most proud feeling I've had in a long time.
So what are my goals?
I want to try to meal prep - I haven't started yet, maybe next Sunday (need to have time to research menu, buy groceries, and cook - I find Saturdays and Sundays work best for this).
I want to drink at least 8 cups of water per day (anyone else find that the more water they drink, the more thirsty they get?).
I want to stay within my calorie goal (currently 1200 calories, and I can eat more if I work out more).
I want to complete my C25K plan, run a 5K no stopping, and include strength training in my workouts. I would like to workout at minimum 3 times per week.
I want to eventually run a 10K as my next longest distance accomplishment.
I want to get down 22 more lbs. I could be at my initial goal weight by Christmas.
So much more to say and write but I need to get to bed!
