Milestones

I have been working out virtually every day since Dec. 26th. I think I missed 3 days in there. Some days were definitely light on the effort meter, others were quite heavy. But all in all I have been dedicated. This is only the second time in my life that I have been so consistent in working out on my own. The other time I was going to have surgery, and decided I did not want to weigh in over 200lbs for surgery, so my but got moving! And it kept moving for two or three months!

I did join the gym w/Trish. (well, I have a free week and then I will join) We met up last night, and while it was not the hardest of workouts, it was a decent effort while I got used to the equipment and facility. I found out just how weak my upper body really is. Ug - and I used to be so very strong. Oh well, we can change that too.

Anyway - my milestone today: I have lost 20 lbs since Dec. 26th. I have a few too many of those 20lb milestones to go still, but YEA! One is gone. The gym is in my daily reach, and soon I'll be running a 5K race. (Har har har!)

I think next week I will seriously get down to training for my 5K run. And I just might add an extra week here or there to help me get into shape. Oh god that sounds like such a long distance to run .... since I've never ever run more than one mile w/out stopping. and one has always been pushing it!
