My next goal - The 31 week challenge!

Jul 24, 2009

My next goal is to get to my WEIGHT GOAL in the next 31 weeks which will be the week that I attempt to complete my first half marathon at the Rock and Roll Mardi Gras Marathon in New Orleans on February 28, 2010! 

I currently have 28.5 pounds to lose so I think that this is a realistic goal.   I have to lose .91 pounds a week for the next 31 weeks to hit that goal.  I think this is pretty reasonable.  I haven't really ever set a time limit on any of my weight loss goals so I hope I am not set myself up for failure by naming a date! 

Anywho, not much going on.  I am reading "Marathons for Mortals" which I am truly enjoying.  Learning a lot and trying to teach myself to control my urge to training myself to death.  Apparently, there is a benefit to restraint.  Ever since I can remember I have always thought that the more/harded you train the better.  Well, with running it's not like that.  So, as motivated as I am, I have to remind myself not to push too hard and that I won't get any better any faster by overtraining. 

On another topic, did I mention how proud I am of my two best friends.  They are doing WW and rockin it!!  They have lost over 100 pounds together!!  HOLY MOLY!  They looks so good and are so much happier!  I am thrilled!!  It's like this is the best support I could ever get from them.  I don't feel like I am doing this alone.  LOVE YOU GUYS!
