Unusual Morning

Today, a strange thing happened.  I put on a tank top that, normally, is very short on me because of the combination of my.....frontal assets and......fat.  So I'm just getting ready for work, I throw it on and, it fits.  Like it fits like a normal shirt should.  It's long enough, I don't feel like Baby Huey.  I haven't been doing a lot, I just started hiking yesterday.  However I have been watching what I eat a little more closely.  MY pants are loose around the waistband, so we'll see how this month progresses.  The plan is hiking 3 days a week, watching what I eat at work (which is my snack time usually), and walking the neighborhood.  I do plan to add weight lifting in April after we clean the garage and FINALLY unpack everything we moved TWO YEARS AGO!  I will keep you updated, but basically I'm doing a smoothie or a bowl of mini wheats for breakfast, Greek yogurt with honey, nuts, and a cutie or banana for lunch, then a reasonable dinner.  I do still try to keep it under control when we go out to eat.  This week's date night featured some yellow chicken curry.  Pretty good.  I think I'm doing okay.  This morning I rewarded myself with a bowl of peanut butter puffins.  Delicious ricey goodness.

Smaller goal

So came up with a smaller goal, going to walk run on treadmill for 30 days straight till I am up to just straight running for 20 minutes and do squats every day. Did 20 squats today going to work up to 50 a day my reward isa book from runners world on gluten free diet. So wish me luck. :-)

Non Scale Goals

So I have a few fitness related goals I would love to accomplish this year.
1. I want to do a push with proper form right now I can just barley hold my weight to do a plank.
2. I would like to run a mile in under 10min.
3. I would like to compete in a Spartan race but right now I am way to out of shape for that.

I also have a few non fitness related goals.
1. Fit in a pair of jean petal pusher for summer. (Post pic below)
2 I have a dress that fits only because it is stretchy I would love it to be a bit looser so it looks better. I am also aiming for summer time for this goal to. (Post pic of front and side below)

One Month Goal

I woke up at 4:30 this morning to go out walking.  I got the sports bra, I got the pants, I got the shoes, no more excuses.  My goal is to, at the end of February, start walking my one mile course.  This morning was only 0.6 miles.  Not to mention I was sweaty and out of breath at the end.  Stretched some, will have to work weight lifting into the workout next month.  I think this is a pretty good goal.  I'm going to do this every weekday morning with special stuff on the weekends that A and I can do together.  We'll see, I hope this work out, works out.  Hahahaha, made myself laugh. Now for COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!

Jeanine

Ok i was bad and did not walk this morning before work so went at lunch so fitbit shows 4011 in steps 6000 more to go today ;-)

Fitness Goal for 2014

First major fitness goal would be to run a 5K not giving up on that dream. Second one which I think I can accomplish quickly like maybe the next week is to work out each day for 1 hour straight and after I got one hour down going for 1 1/2 hours, ultimately want 3 hours a day. I know this sounds like a lot but I don't want to take 3 years to drop 50 pounds like it took me the last time. Spring is around the corner I want to be able to go hike with my hubby in our local mountains take some pictures and just relax but I need to be able to go long distances hiking. 

Right now I have 50 pounds to drop and would really like to see it off this year :-)

So I think we should share some of our fitness goals since it is that time of year but I think we should do something different this year instead of making a goals like I want to lose 30lb by summer I think we should make some non scale goals. I was super inspired by this blog I read where the girl did this thing called "Operation Yellow Dress" where she works to fit in this cute yellow sun dress and takes pictures along the way. What do you guys think would you like to do this with me if so post your non scale goal or operation whatever sometime this week. Also it doesn't have to be clothes related it could be running a mile in a certain time or doing a hand stand for 30seconds whatever fitness goals you have that don't relate to the scale.
