Whether you want to do them monthly or weekly, here's the place!

I'm a weekly kind of girl myself, so here are my goals for the first week in July:
  • Conquer week 8 of C25K
  • Continue incorporating in weights into my normal workout routine
  • Water water water and protein protein protein
  • Continue trying healthy, new recipes so I don't get bored with what I'm eating.
  • Enjoy but not overindulge on July 4. Thankfully, we're a family that likes a good cookout with LOTS of protein available.

Your turn!

    July 31st is my 33rd birthday, and I have decided that my birthday present to myself is to beat obesity! I've been sitting right at 174-175 for over a month and I'd like to weigh 169 (which = BMI of 29) by my birthday. Otherwise my goals are:

    -Run the Peachtree Road Race (the world's largest 10k) on July 4th <--a bucket list item!!
    -Commit to NO sugar for the month of July
    -Water, water, and more water
    -Allll the protein :)

    I'd like to be able to run 10 K at my normal/slow pace (5.0) by the end of the month.
    I'd also like to be able to run a single mile at 5.5

    I just hope to make it through this pre-op liquid diet without strangling someone. Day 3 out of 10 of no food, and I'm a little grumpy.

    -I'd like to lose 14 pounds this month, which is how much I've lost each month for the past 3 months. So basically not slow down.
    -Do one bucket list fitness item, which will either be going Kayaking or swimming the length of the local springs and back
    -Not spend money on clothes even if I really want to (with the exception of one much needed bra)
    -continue hitting 5+ 30-min or more workouts each week
    -As always, protein and water

    New week, new goals (for me).
    • I am doing TERRIBLY with protein the past few days. Like really bad. I had to take a nap today. That's my main focus this week.
    • I have a 5K on Saturday. I am going with friends who want to walk, but it's a 5K so there's that. I literally have only "Run a 5K" left on C25K, so that's off the list.
    • Water goals.
    • More weight training.

    Anyone else?

    I ran the Peachtree, and (rainy and weather delays aside) it was awesome! A personal best 10k time even. :) New running goal is to start bumping up the mileage for my half marathon training that starts August 1st. That training calls for 4 days/week running plus 1 day cross-training and I've only currently been running 3 days/week most weeks.

    My no-sugar plan faltered a bit on Saturday, but I'm back at my low carb "norm" today.

    Drink plan is more water, less coffee.
