What are your fitness new years resolutions? What are you hoping to accomplish in 2012 that you have not been able to so far, fitness wise? I hope to start running enough to be able to participate in a marathon.

    My goal is to join a health club, keep a food diary, and lose the last 90 lbs.

    Not sure this is a "resolution" but I plan to keep whittling away the body fat until I reach my ideal... with some major muscle definition. I want to get all the basic kettlebell moves down, so I can focus on my kettlebell workouts (about 3-4 days a week) to get that muscle definition.

    To resume the weight loss that seems to have stalled out since Thanksgiving. This means I must resume exercising.....that is the part of MFP I've pretty much stalled out on! :blushing:

    Already told hubby that come 1 JAN I am cleaning out all the non-healthy (tempting food) and I will NOT be buying anymore - if he wants that kind of food he will have to buy it and hide it in his man cave (the garage). I am going to get healthy and my family healthy!!! My resolution is to lose 40 pounds - I want to lose 1 pound a week and go from there. I also want to drink MORE water, eat more veggies and fruits and cut down on bad carbs. I would love to increase my running from 2 miles to 5 miles and look into doing a mini-marathon. I have LOTS of goals and I will definitely need help and support and motivation to keep me in check!!!

    Side note - I am always looking for new, supportive friends. Feel free to add me! :smile: :flowerforyou:

    Next year will be the push to the final goal of arriving at 10% body fat. I've got all this momentum so I may as well go all the way.

    In 2011, I achieved a personal record in every race I did - 5k, 5 miler, 10 miler, half marathon and sprint triathlon. My goal for 2012 is to beat all of 2011's times. If my foot holds up, I hope to add a personal best marathon time to that as well. I got a stress fracture in my foot training for a marathon this year and had to give up 2 weeks before the race. I was heartbroken.

    Continuing to keep in shape for the half marathon distance and building on it to run my first full marathon in September :-) Also to just keep sticking with it AND to not allow myself to get too caught up in worry about calories, etc.

    Do some pull-ups at 9 months pregnant (which will be in August) - I can barely do one pull-up now - better keep up with it!

    Start C25K and do a 5k running, not walking like I usually do. Other than that, lose last 10+ lbs and maintain.

    Continue to do bikram yoga every day
    Join the training sessions for Alpe Duzes (climb Alpe d'Huez 6 times in 6 days on a bike)
    get in beween 150 - 200 training kilometers weekly on the bike (outdoors)
    be superfit when I go to guide vision quests in France so I won't have to recover for a week when I get home again.

    enjoy the outdoors

    Continue with my weight-lifting, HIIT, and C25k training so I can complete a 5k in February. Then switch my cardio over to cycling so I can complete the Seattle to Portland bike event (200 miles/2 days) in July. After that, not sure if I'll cut back on cycling to do more running again or continue with cycling to do a 150-mile event on the Coeur de' Alene trail in September. Oh, and now that my back is getting strong enough (long recuperation from a severe back injury a few years back), I plan to hoist my pack and do the 40 mile round-trip hike into Enchanted Valley.

    Of course, continue with healthy eating to continue my weight loss as well. But fitness is my focus and the weight loss will follow as it has done for the last 65 pounds.

    I created a 2012 Kick-*kitten* Lifestyle List... it originally was my Bucket List for 2012 - the kinds of things that I wanted to do prior to 2012 being long gone! :laugh: Anyway... some of my things were:

    1) Climb the 1048 steps to the top of KoKo Head in Honolulu HI
    3) Jog/Run a 5K without needing to stop to rest
    5) Try Snowbiking
    6) Walk on the Glacier at GNP before it melts and disappears
    9) Learn to do Hula dancing...
    22) Learn to Meditate

    I know meditating may seem not to be fitness related, but everything I read makes me believe that it will relate.

    In the end... what I can say is that I am so looking forward to 2012! I absoluely can NOT wait to start crossing things off on my list!

    My goals for 2012:

    ~Survive the Apocalypse
    ~Learn to run faster (in case the apocalypse comes in the form of zombies)
    ~Gain some muscle (in case I need to fight other survivors for food)
    ~Learn to meditate and do yoga (it's stressful surviving the apocalypse)

    I lost about 20 lbs since I arrived here (and by here I mean where I live, not MFP), in May, and I've managed to keep it off. Starting today my diary will be opened again and I will be more cautious of what I am eating. I plan on losing another 15-20lbs before the next PFA so I will never have to be taped again. i also paln on continuing with my weight training, and running as well. Like I said on my profile, if I can go on a 3.6-4 mile run with our security PT in the morning, I can certainly run a 5K. So, time to focus on running.

    My fitness goals for 2012 are to cycle 100km in a day, ride the Great Victorian Bike Ride, ride the first two days of Ride for Sight (can't do the last two days due to future daughter-in-law's hen's party), and build my core strength.

    Lose 80% of the excess weight
    Tone down the sarcasm
    Figure out what direction I want my life to go in, and make changes toward that.

    Life direction is always a good thing to have. Good luck, hun! :D
