Falsely Titled

Boy was I optimistic before 2009 began. I posted this on the 1st of last year... little did I know that my world would be rubble with-in a few short months. Anyway, lets get this look at the last year over as quick as possible.

Bring on '09

Cheers to a new year, new beginnings and new adventures!

Up to-the Date

I did not step it up quite as much as I would have liked this week. I did complete 13 miles however I was only at the track 3 of 5 days! Which means the days I went I was productive, I just need to get there more often during the week.

I have 122 miles to my goal. 47 days left in the year.

Just over 2.5 miles everyday to accomplish this feat.

Losing It Slowly

2009 approx size 16

As the year is coming to a close I find myself reflecting on my goals for this year. One of which is to not just lose weight but become healthier, and more active. Seeing these photos reminds me that even if I do not see active weight loss, or feel like I am moving towards my goals that indeed I am. It just is at a slower rate than one would have hoped for.

Get 'em done!

Ack! I have crunched the numbers and due to numerous breaks from exercise this year (when I was feeling so overwhelmed that I just stayed in bed) I still have 135 miles to make it to my goal for this year. Ever year over the past 3 years I have tried to complete a certain number of track miles. In 2007 I tried for a lofty goal of 700 miles, I fell short and only hit 400. 2008 I decided to try and complete 100 miles more than the previous year and finished just over 500. So in 2009 once again I bumped up my miles by 100. In order to complete this task I will need to complete 2.5 miles over the next 55 days OR 3.5 miles over 39 days (getting rid of weekends). As long as I stay focused this should not be difficult, the problems come when I miss 1 day, and is twice as hard to go the following day, then it just snowballs.

I am asking if someone, anyone would try and check in once a week and see if the number of miles is going up on the side of my blog. If the number isn't going up then call me out! I would really appreciate it. :)

Bring on '09!
