    Hi Guys,

    So, I was reading a post by a lady who put her goals in writing and how it was scary initially b/c she didn't know if she could do it or not... well, I have my big end goal, but I thought I should do some mini-goals so, I'm posting it here for accountability and motivation for myself... you don't have to read these if you don't want to, but if you do, feel free to remind me:

    WEIGHT GOALS:
    First week of Nov: 145lbs... healthy BMI
    Second week in January... 135lbs... this is a weight goal for me. I have 125 as my final goal, but that might be too skinny depending on the muscle mass I'm carrying.
    First week in April: 125lbs.

    FITNESS GOALS:
    Rehabilitate my shoulders in order to start KAYAKING next summer
    Rehab my 1st MTP joint so I can run and rock climb.
    Build my core: very essential in kayaking and pretty much any sport!
    Triathlon next summer

    LIFE GOALS:
    Be the best mom I can be for my son, even if I'm tired.
    Pass the board exams
    Pass my shelf exams on rotations
    Graduate
    Residency
    Out of debt 5 years after residency
    Go over to South America and work for peanuts

    <---- So, I went to the mall in search of workout clothes and saw this dress on clearence for $17 and decided to try it on just for the hell of it.. Size 12p and currently sitting in my closet! :love:


    Also, I've decided 2 things. After this month is over I'm only going to weigh in about 2x a month, so I may or may not post much if there's a new challenge for us. And....The second...

    I'M TRAINING FOR A HALF-MARATHON!! :drinker:

    Am I nervous? Sure! But I have a plan and I've got this! Here's my blog on it if anyone cares to read it:

    Brunettewife, nice dress! And I'm really psyched you are going for a half-marathon! That's awesome! I'm looking forward to being able to run again soon... in the mean time, I bike.

    Kunibob, nice job on the weight loss and you'r running as well! I'm looking forward to Healthy BMI Territory!

    Hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!

    Sep 01: >>>>GOAL 175<<<<<<

    Took a break from the scale - had too much going on around here to get anything done on MFP. Then I had bronchitis for over 2 weeks so really didn't get much done. I did get do a 4 mile race on Saturday - didn't do as well as I had hoped, but I finished in an ok time. At least it was under an 11 min mile average. I was going for under 10, but oh well. Lungs couldn't hack it yet. I won't make my goal, thats for sure. Maybe I will at least be within 10 lbs of it....there's hope for that at least! :ohwell:

    Well, the scale was up, but last night was my first time back to zumba after quite awhile. Bad news: my workout clothes didn't fit right and I'm sore today. Good news: I had fun and can't wait to head back! Here's to hoping next week shows a loss!

    Me too, I am trying for late fall in November. Doing pretty good but got some nasty blisters today and tomorrow is my long run. Read that I should put duct tape over them-might give it a try. :)

    That's great Kath! How long have you been training? And I've not heard the duct tape one, if you do it, let me know how it goes, I'm sure I'll be at that point in a month or so!


    So I've been hooked on a show called 'Heavy' and was really inspired by this man who lost 180ls in 6mon, which is GREAT,but the inspiring part? He RAN 1min for every pound lost. 180min! And he did it, not stopping once!

    I'm thinking about doing the same thing. Run/jog 1min for every pound lost. If a man weighing over 250 can do it, why can't I/we? Perhaps, next month, in the next thread, I'll make a post as a reminder to anyone who would like to pledge their amount. Just a thought.

    Well, I had been stuck at about a max of 6 miles for a few months. I then switched my course to a flatter area and was able to run a lot further so decided to try for a half marathon about a month ago. I did 10.3 on Friday and was feeling muscle soreness the lat mile so gonna stay there for a week or two and then go up again. I am planning for the November 1/2 marathon held I believe by the St. Louis Running club. Haven't signed up yet but hopefully soon :)

    BTW the duct tape did not work, slipped off just like a bandaid however it was working to keep the blisters from rubbing until it slipped. It was on my heels. Might tape the whole ankle next time if happens again.

    what channel is that show Heavy on, sounds interesting.
