2012 Health and Fitness goals update

I have fallen a bit off my healthy life wagon..I haven't fallen off completely but thought I would give an update.

Running-
This is still my nemisis...i want so badly to be decent at it but my consistency just isn't there so I stlil pretty much suck at it! I have run 2 5K's this year..the first one was superbowl sunday...and i finished with my second best time...35 mins and I don't remember the seconds..and felt pretty decent....well I ran another one last sunday...and i didn't go well. I finished in 37:35 and had to fight for every second of it...walked way more than I wanted to.

I know that I am not going to ever get to the point where I can consistently run 3+ miles without walking unless i run a min of 3x a week...i just can't seem to make it happen.....

So I am recommitting today...with the weather getting nicer and it staying light out later i have no excuse...if i have a prayer of making that half marathon in October..i have a lot of work to do.

Healthy Eating
Have been so so on this one. Not great...but better than where i was the last few months. I still need to cut back on the drinking during the week..some weeks are better than others...and i need to eat more veggies and less carbs. I am hoping that the motivation of being in a bathing suit in a few months will be enough for me to stick with it.

Physical
I did get my physcial done finally that I had been putting off for a very long time...I think the last time i had a physical (beyond my yearly OBGYN) was almost 6 years ago ...when we were going through the adoption process! All my test results came out great. My cholesterol and tri glycerides were both great (even the dr who is my age said he wishes his was as low as mine) so that is a positive

Weight
I still haven't taken really any of my 10 pounds off...i flucuate a few pounds of each other but essentially am the same. Based on my jeans...i do need to get the 10 off. Hopefully with teh running more it will start to move.

That is my update. Hope to have better results with the next update.
