Wow it has been a LONG time.
Jan 02, 2012
January 2, 2012It's has been a really long time since I've been here. I'm not sure how to classify myself at this point. Not really on track but kind of on the blurry edge.
Last year (2011) I participated in a 500 mile challenge with friends and coworkers. I actually set a goal of 1000 miles for myself. I didn't make the 1000 mark, but I did pass 500 to land at 615 miles.
Exercise Goals:
For 2012, I have a goal of 1200 miles. I am also training for a 5K so that I can run with my daughter. We have set our goals so that they will be achievable. 1) Train for and run a 5K. 2) Train and run a 10K. 3)Train and run a 1/2 marathon. 4)Train and run a full marathon.
**1200 miles should be attainable as long as I stay motivated to continue training.**
I am planning to add some strength and conditioning exercises in also. I just have to figure out WHAT I am going to do.
Food Goals: (Refusing to call it diet goals)
My food intake isn't nearly as great as it could/should be...I'm working on it though.
I'm almost 6 years and 3 months post-op. I've lost, gained and re-lost weight countless times during those years. The wonderful part of that is that I have never gotten back to or near my pre-surgery weight. I went up a pant size and I promise you I didn't enjoy needing to buy larger pants. Now, I'm in between sizes and plan to continue the downward trend in sizes.
Where I am now: Where I want to be:
Weight: 190 Weight: 150
Pants size: 16 Pants size: ???
Shirt size: 12/14 Shirt size: ???
I'm committing to make regular stops in to post on my successes and failures. I was most successful when I was more active on OH, so I am coming back to the basics and looking to find support and a swift kick in the butt when needed. The Back on Track Together forum will become a very instrumental tool for me this year.
