I was just noticing that it's about 12 weeks until Memorial Day Weekend - the kind of unofficial/official start of summer. What's your plan? Here's mine:

- Keep running - Half Marathon on 4/12 and a few more races in the summer

- Amp up strength/conditioning training (stop making excuses!) - I love to lift heavy but no access to a gym means at-home workouts. I'm slowly building up my home gym with dumbbells and weighted bars

- Be consistent - I've signed up for a few groups (Spring Cleaning, Countdown to Summer) and will be sticking with these folks to keep me accountable

- Celebrate small wins

- Stay POSITIVE - I battle depression off and on but I can't let that derail my fitness goals. In fact, I'm happier and depression-free when I'm doing what's healthy for my body.

- Goal by Memorial Day Weekend: Lose another 10-12lbs and set the foundation for a healthy and active summer

    I've got five pairs of pants in the dresser, that I'm too big to wear right now. On Memorial day, I want to wear them outside!

    I wanted to be at my goal weight by Memorial Day. That's 15 pounds away... I might be pushing it a bit... but I think I'll be close. My plan is to just keep working hard and getting closer to my goal. :)

    I am hoping to be up to a 6 mile run, already at 4!
