I have been working out regularly since Sept 07. I've been here several times in the past BUT this time the change is going to last a LIFETIME!!
I am the mother of a ten year old competitive figure skater (which takes alot of my time). I work fulltime and my hubbie works away. Time is a challenge!!!

I have been working out regularly since Sept 07. I've been here several times in the past BUT this time the change is going to last a LIFETIME!!
I am the mother of a ten year old competitive figure skater (which takes alot of my time). I work fulltime and my hubbie works away. Time is a challenge!!!
I would like to lose 20lbs by July 1.
I resolve to:
Short term (by June 1, 2008):
1. Get back on track after my vacation in Cuba (April 7 - 16, 2008)
2. cardio 5x/week including trying to get back to running if my achillis tendon will ever heal!
3. weight train 3-4 x per week
4. Drink 64 oz water per day (this will be the biggest challenge!)
5. Obtain a Normal BMI (154 lb)!
Midterm Goals (by July 1, 2008):
1. Continue with short term
2. Try to increase mileage to run a 10 km race around Canada Day (July 1, 2008)
3. Try to find a 10 km race to run between June 15 - July 15, 2008
4. Obtain goal weight (currently set at 150 lb but maybe 144 lb) - BMI around 23
5. Continue weight training
Long term (By March 31, 2009):
1. To still be at this in 12 months time (the exercise and health habits not the weight loss part!)
2. To maintain a BMI of around 23!
3. To run a half marathon...if all works out...Myrtle Beach Half Marathon Feb 2009

Workouts have been few and far between this week - eating habits were great though which may account for the weight lost this morning (2 lb)! Have to get active over the weekend - tomorrow is Sunday school closing program and mother's day so that may not work as well as I like!
Goal for upcoming week: To get back on track with physical activity especially if I am going to compete in a sprint tri (or try a tri) on July 13!!!!
All the best with the new routine,

But now the work begins a new...I have about 5lbs on...hopefully much of id fluid weight! I saw my personal trainer 12 hours after returning home, have my new program and I'm really to get back at it!
My goal is to lose the final 15 - 20 lb and to get sculpted! I wanna see some muscle definition! I will achieve this by:
1. Weight training (as per my program 5 times per week)
2. Cardio a minimum of 5 times per week (still having issues with my achillis tendon so within those limitations)
3. Eat healthy
4. No more alcohol (after 8 days at an all inclusive resort my liver needs a break!!!)
5. Rest when required
6. Enjoy life!
I am pleased to report that I am less than 10 lb away from my initial target with about 10 days less to go - so hopefully I will be within 5 lb! I think after I return from my trip (and lose the inevitable pounds that I will be gaining - I'mm going on vacation after all) that I may dcrease my goal weight by another 5-10lb!
As for my cardio - I am a little side tracked at present! I have a minor tear in my achilles that has me limited to no impact cardio for three weeks to be re-evaluated by my chiropracter after I return from Cuba! So my cardio has moved from the streets to the eliptical, arc trainor, and the bike! Short term pain for long term gain!
The test on how I feel about my body will be on my Cuba vacation - bikinis don't hide much and I am vacation with friends - people who I see everyday! This vacation will be a test of my self esteem!

Lovin' it too...
