Goals Re-Revisited

Goals: I've always been a determined personality. I focus on a goal and really push myself to achieving it with everything I have. It's really benefited me so much in life. Yesterday, I interviewed for a job that I would really like to have, it pays good, it's what I went to school for and it's in my home town. I was 1 of 490 applicants, 1 of 75 interviewed! I don't think my interview went great, I could have done a lot better. But it is what it is. I prayed this opportunity as I walked on to the campus asking God for his guidance. I would really like to go back to work but I am also enjoying the time at home with my kids.

I am really rethinking my fitness goals to. I shouldn't really say re-thinking I guess I just need to re-focus. My next 5K is coming up in about 2 weeks. Mariyn is running the mile. I'm not sure how much (if any) of my running has improved since my last. I've been making poor eating choices that I can tell affect the way I feel and my weight. I want to stay competitive and focused. I've decided that on Sat. May 1st, I am going to re-focus and just be done binging.

I've taken it easy at the gym this week. I went Tuesday not Weds. Today, I had a great workout though, Clare and I had a gym date, weights and running. She ended up having to leave about 10 minutes into our run, I started to tell myself that I was just going to quit and be done for the day. Somehow, I managed to stick it out and finish the 30 minutes. I was proud of myself because I really wanted to be lazy and the only reason I made it to the gym today was because I knew Clare was counting on me.

I hadn't been to Zumba in a while either. I really do enjoy it and I think I've missed 3 weeks due to various reasons. Tonight I forced myself to go even though I did an hours worth of weights and 30 minutes of cardio earlier in the day. It was hard, especially at first. My body was tired but I remember why I go - I really do love Zumba. It's a lot of fun. I missed it.

We had Chinese food tonight. I was probably only a 4 but I was really craving it. Normally, it's a 8 or 9 but tonight just wasn't so good. After dinner, Mariyn and I went for a mile run. I was tired but she does need to train for our run, so I reluctantly agreed to go. Let me tell you, I'm already sore. I know I will be in pain tomorrow. Today I've done 1 hour of weights + 2.5 miles on the treadmill + Zumba + 1 running with Mariyn = expect to be sore tomorrow! More and more people are commenting on my weight loss. Even though it's been a few weeks since I've lost anything, it still feels good. I borrowed my mom's camera so expect progress pictures soon ;-)

Goals: get back on track with my weight loss and diet. Finish 5K May 15th running, Start swim training for the triathlon, 5K in June, find an event for July and possibly August. Triathlon in Sept.
