Daily Checkin
Yikes, my food was horrible today. Oh well, that isn’t my goal this month anyway. I’m working on getting it better, but my focus is simply the 15 miles a week.
Today I added 3.2 miles. So that sets me at 9 miles even. 6 more miles to complete in the next 2 days. Exactly where I should be

Goal Met
So my private hell week I created is done and I hit it. Did it the hard way, but I got the last of my 15 miles in two hours ago. I clocked in for the week at 15.10 miles. Today it was slow going on the cardio for sure. My legs were really cranky with all I’ve put them through. lol But I got my second mojo this afternoon while I jogged the last 2.8 miles of it. So that made me happy. I had actually planned to walk off the last quarter mile, but I didn’t need to. Now I was definitely not breaking any of my time records with these lead legs, but I still didn’t feel like stopping so that is awesome.
Disappointed in my weigh in. But my food wasn’t on yesterday either. I made decent choices at the time, but pre-planning could have lead to much better choices. So my weigh in today was 182.75. Half pound gain. But I’m happy about all the other things I did this week. So I won’t be stressing over the weight for a little bit.
On to next week
Write Down Goals
I just sat down and calculated how many weeks are left in the year. Then multiplied it by 2. Hello! That is 52.
52 pounds I cold lose by the end of the year by working on it right this minute. 2 pounds a week is a very safe number to use and is easy to hit with only a few changes today.
But I don’t have 52 pounds to lose. That would put me at 5′7″ and 133. EWW, lol. So what is my realistic number? 30 pounds, 155. Yes, that number looks and feels huge. But that is only 15 WEEKS! Then it would be maintenance. 15 WEEKS! Holy crud, that is Nov 6th.
That would be before the holidays. Before ski season. How doable does that sound when broken down. 2 pounds a week, just 2 pounds at a time.
Have you broken your numbers down?
First goal
K, big first goal is totally within reach. 10.5 pounds left to my first goal of 165. Since I am not going to be doing heavy weights for the next few
months while I train for the 12k, this will seriously only be my first goal. But it’s still a huge one to hit. The last time I was at 165 I was totally
happy with myself.
But then I have my final goal now is 146. That puts me at 22% body fat and that is where I’ve decided I want to be. That is a big one for me because I have not been at that since having kids. When I weighed that I was in high school and doing some serious sports. So, I’m going to focus on the weight loss and not on the muscle building. Then I can put the muscle on that I want. Course I am still going to be weight training, just a lot of stability stuff and no more heavy weights.
Gonna lose some muscle
Well the weight will start coming down here soon. But it’s going too be muscle mass I’m losing. 
My allergies are so icky. I just don’t want to do anything. My stomache is icky from the drainage, my throat is all scratchy, my eyes are foggy and of course my head isn’t even attached. My stomache was so icky this morning that I had to cancel my 7am appointment. so didn’t want to do that. For one thing I haven’t worked with her in almost a week and another it was time to repurchase sessions. So now I am waiting until sat. for that check. Anyway, you can see by my rambling that I’m just loopy. lol
I didn’t get any more cardio in yesterday. I will probably get on the bike today a lot. This needs to clear up soon because I have a 12k to start
training for. A client/friend and I are going to run it on June 14th. The longest I’ve ever done is a 10k (6.2 miles) so this 12k (7.4 miles) is going
to be a serious challenge. But we have time to get ready for it. It’s going to get us outside running and it’s going to be awesome to have a running/training partner! That will surely get the extra weight off of me. I’ll be focusing on losing weight and hitting bench marks on the running. No more heavy weights.
Now to just get these allergies out of the way so I can start the training! Weigh in is supposed to be once a week, but I felt the need to get on there. It’s 175.5. That’s the highest I want it. No more going back up and down from this point to 178. I just have to get my butt up out of this chair and get it done. No matter how I feel.
