PART 1: Goal for 2015 is to be able to run a 5k. Not walk, run. My dad runs all the time (56 races this year including 5k, 10k, and marathons). I would like to be able to go with him to a race and finish in less than double his time. He runs in about 21 minutes. So my goal is to run a 5k in under 42 minutes. Hopefully this will also help me look and feel better and maybe lose about 10 pounds.

PART2: I get lazy. I started pretty well, going to Planet Fitness a couple times a week but then it gets boring. I don't have a concrete plan when I go to the gym, just go on a cardio machine for 15-20 minutes, maybe do some weights. Not having a plan makes me lazy and bored so I need to start coming up with exactly what I'm going to do.

PART3: Plan for this year is to start easy with going to the gym once a week and going to volleyball on Mondays. I will also be looking into some fitness videos on youtube or getting dvd/videogame. I will do a home workout once a week. At the gym, I will go on the treadmill for 20 minutes. As the year progresses, I will re-evaluate my schedule and go to the gym multiple times during the week.
I will look into workout routines to prevent boredom and indecision.

PART 4: When I meet my goal, I will buy myself an awesome workout outfit. Some new party pants (leggings) and a new running top.

Part 1: I actually don't tend to make goals for the New Year. I have 29lbs left until I get to my first weight goal, so I guess that can be my goal for 2015 (although I really don't care if it takes me until 2017 to reach it...as long as I eventually get there).
Didn't make a goal for 2014. ~ I make goals, but generally not around New Years.

Part 2: I didn't have a New Year's goal last year. Spent 5 months of last year pregnant. I did make a goal at the end of my pregnancy and that was to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight so that I could continue where I left off in 2013. I was hoping to be my pre-pregnancy weight by Jan 19 (my birthday) and well I hit it back in Nov (11lbs lighter now).

Part 3: I'm just going to continue what I've been doing, because it works for me.

Part 4: I don't have any reward plans. I will probably need new clothes though when I'm done with weight loss.

Part 1 - My first goal for 2015 weight-wise is to get back to my former "racing" weight of 175. I only have 47 pounds to go! :-) Last year I was VERY unmotivated and had no goals whatsoever. Thankfully, this year is a completely different story! :-)

Part 2 - Again, I had no goals last year. However once I decided that I was going to get control of my life again, I set an unrealistic goal of being under 200 pounds for Christmas. My bout of serious depression that followed my major vertigo attack really set me back. In some ways, I just started getting back to where I was in mid November (around the time of my vertigo attack).

Part 3 - (S) Get to 175 pounds. I only have 47 pounds to meet this goal and it's a very realistic goal. (M) My trusty scale is the tool for making it measurable. (A) My goal is definitely achievable. There is no reason why I cannot reach my goal. (R) My doctor and I both believe this is a realistic goal. I'm looking forward to seeing my doctor again so he can see my progress. (T) I really didn't want to put a timeline on it, but I suppose if I have to declare a date, my goal to reach 175 pounds will be July 4th. I have a friend that has a HUGE July 4th blowout (pun intended) every year. He never saw me when I was over 300 pounds, but he knows of my weight gain and my subsequent efforts to start racing again. The main reason I didn't go to his July 4th celebration in 2014 is because I was SO embarrassed of my weight.

Part 4 - I recently put a high-end GPS/fitness "watch" on my Amazon wishlist. I seriously doubt if I'll be able to afford it when I reach my "racing" weight, but there's always a chance that a family member will help me buy it (I'm VERY lucky that way!). That would be an awesome reward!

Extra - We've all faced various instances of adversity along our ways to fitness. This past year I encountered serious knee pain, foot pain, a major vertigo attack, and a bout of deep depression. The knee pain has improved, but now I've developed pain behind my knee. I'm trying to self-treat it by doing stretches/exercises that are supposed to help alleviate the pain. My foot pain is ongoing. Basically, every step I take feels like I'm stepping on a marble (that's right, with all the running I do). Without getting into why I'm so mad at my podiatrist (this should have been cleared up by now), let's just say that within 12 weeks I should be pain free in this area. My vertigo continues to be a challenge. I've not been good about doing my "vertigo exercises" and I really need to make this a habit. Currently there's no way I could safely ride my bicycle (even if we were having temps in the 60's). Fighting depression is a real struggle for a lot of people and I'm one of them. I'm not currently on any meds (besides ibuprofen) and I want to keep it that way. I've found the best thing for my depression is weight loss and sunlight. I've been using my "SAD" light for weeks now and I suppose it's made a difference. My challenge is to not fall back into a depressive state and try to keep my goals in mind... every day.
