    To be be the best I can be and gain the most amount of muscle mass I've ever had. With that said I'd like to be 175 lb by the end of 2012 with less than 10% bf. So thats about a 20 lb increase. Time to do work!

    My goals for next year are to:
    -lose 5 pounds a month
    -be pain free (I'm pretty sure my pain is due to either bad eating or too much weight on my poor little feet)
    -finish and publish a new book
    -have a solo art show
    -workout at least 3 -5 times a week EVERY week
    -meet a nice man who deserves me (in other words -not living in his mothers basement, homeless or a convicted felon LOL)
    -go on a new adventure trip - maybe kayaking in Costa Rica
    -be happy

    My goals are to
    Run 10km in under 40min
    Start strength training
    Mix up the classes I do at the gym
    Focus on being strict about what I eat, the stomach pain that certain foods cause is really not worth it!

    1. Run a half marathon at the end of April. (It's been a long time since I've done that...over 10 years.)
    2. Continue to make progress in my goals to eat healthy food mostly.
    3. Make progress on dealing with the stress in my life in a healthy way that only occasionally involves chocolate.
    4. Make progress on being fit and toned and continue making exercise a priority.
    5. Work on seeing ME in the mirror and not my flaws.
    6. Weight wise I'd love to lose a few more pounds...but I'm trying not to define myself by a number. I certainly won't be disappointed if I maintain as long as I am making progress in my other goals. I DON'T want to gain!

    bumping this for later because I want to get more specific about my fitness goals...but for now:

    Fitness related:
    I'd like to run a 10 minute mile or faster (currently fastest full mile is 10:40) and run a 5k in under 32 minutes
    Complete at least 2 more half marathons in 2012
    Lower my body fat percentage (not sure what it is right now, but I'd like to get down to about 20% or less)
    Be able to do a "real" toe push up--no more knee or wall push ups
    Run 3-4 days a week
    Strength training/boot camp 2x a week
    Add cross training to my running routine (yoga, spin, elliptical, swimming/aqua jogging)
    Drop the last 10 pounds AND maintain...for life
    Continue encouraging my friends and family to get fit and healthy

    Think about NYC Marathon 2013...

    Non-fitness related:
    Go on a date...I have not been on a date since March 2010. Yikes.

    To lose the weight that I put on not being able to exercise due to my collapsed arch & the surgery I had 6 months ago. I'm still dealing with pain & hoping that the orthotics that I will be getting on Thursday will allow me to walk the excess weight away.I want to make up for lost time. There are 168 days left until we leave for Hawaii & I do not want to go there looking like a beached whale!!
    When I get back from Hawaii, I am going to seriously kick it into high gear, continue to make up for lost time & get back in the shape that I know I can be again.

    I have been here almost 1 year and have lost 30lbs so far. At the moment I think my goals should be to lose another 16lbs at least to reach a healthy BMI (I'm currently 27.5, used to be 33) and also focus on toning myself up and do more strength training. From the weight loss things are a bit more wobbly than they used to be!!
