2012 Here I come

Seeing that we are now in 2012 I have a few personal fitness goals i want to capture somewhere. I am still working on my longer list of professional goals...

Here they are...2012 Health and Fitness goals......pretty agressive

Lose the almost 10 pounds I have managed to put on the last 6-8 months. I am still no where near my lifetime high, but i have officially reached my number threshold where i told myself i would not go again..and I can tell by the way I feel and how my clothes fit (or don't fit :) )

Get back to regular excerise...minimum of 3 days a week. I no longer have a membership to my favorite kettle bell gym and my sister n law trainer so it is back to my local YMCA of which i am not a huge fan of. So that being said..I am commiting to doing the Jilian Michaels Shred DVD a couple of times a week at home combined with walking/jogging on the treadmill ...and at minimum my Monday morning cardio/strenght class at the Y.

I am also committing to getting back to jogging...i did a 5K in August and was able to run the whole thing without stopping for the first time ever...pretty much stopped after that. So here are my race goals

one or 2 5K's by late spring

10K-July 4th or August or both

half marathon in Detroit in October. ....this is a HUGE stretch goal for me.....not sure i will make it but that is my plan.

DH has put on a lot of weight this last year and really needs to get back to better health...he has some agressive fitness triatholon and running goals as well and we are using the October Detroit Half Marathon as a shared goal. I hope by having my running goals and his goals we will push each other.

Oh and as far as healthy eating goes...pretty obvious..eat out less, eat better at home....NO evening snacking after dinner and the biggest/hardest adjustment for me......NO alcohol during the week...going to try to stick to Friday and Saturday only....with book club on Wednesday once a month and greys girls nights as exceptions. DH and I have been really really bad the last month or two and have been drinking a drink or two just about every night ...NOT good.

We will see..I will keep my blog up to date on my progress.

For ultra honesty....Today's weigh in 140lbs...ultimate goal....130. Lifetime low...132.

Here is to a healthier 2012!
