Resolutions and Running

I've been drastically off track since mid-October (my birthday). I have managed to gain back 3 pounds in those three months. I'm very thankful that it was only 3 pounds and not much more.

Anyways, I decided that I was getting back on track yesterday. Well, we celebrated Christmas with my dad's side of the family. Naturally, our kitchen was littered with junk food (cookies, candy, cheesecake), and of course, I have no control. I have really lost my control that I had so well. I actually find myself consuming this junk frequently because I'm trying to GET RID of it. Hello, Christa! It's not getting rid of it, it's moving it to your thighs! :)

Last night, I ended up at the gym. I'm really struggling with running lately and I honestly have not ran regularly since September. I managed to crank out 3 miles yesterday, which isn't bad, but I want to run far distances. I decided the my life's running goal is to run the Disney Princess Half Marathon in Disney. This comes around every February. I'm not sure if I'm physically capable of this being as I have never ran more than 5 miles.

Today, I decided that I have ate enough junk food and I'm genuinely tired of it. I'm just sick of it. Have you ever ate so much so often that you get sick of it? That's how I feel about junk food and it's really a blessing at this point. I'm not waiting until tomorrow to get "back on track." I'm starting right this moment.

So here are the stats: I'm currently 142 pounds (ugh. I hate being in the 140's). My WW goal weight is 135. When I hit this number, meeting are free. My personal goal is 128. So that puts me at 7 pounds to WW goal and 14 to personal goal. My journey is not over. I started WW the first week of April last year, and I hope to be a lifetime member by my anniversary date this year. That is after 6 weeks of WW maintenance, so I'm hoping to hit 135 by the end of February. I know that I can't put a time limit on my weight loss, so I'm thinking of this as a goal.

I have created spreadsheets of my workouts. They are divided up by month. Look for these to be posted at the end of each month.

  1. Christa, I have been working out lately where I live. We should work out together on campus on Thursday before class or something. Also, we should run a 5K together! You would probably beat me...but that is alright! :)

  2. Yes! That would be great. I have class 8-11:20 and 1-4:20. That break in the middle would work out great.

  3. I have been trying to get on the right track for a while now, but not really seeing all of the results I wanted so far. So, we could totally do lunch and campus workout before class! I cannot after class so it would be perfect! :)
