Back to the Beginning....sort of.

Alright, so not really the total beginning. But, another beginning none-the-less. I like beginnings. I like when things can be rewritten. I also like gorgeous sunny spring afternoons in Denver. Gotta love the Mile High when spring is in the air.

Today I am revisiting this post from not too long ago to remind just exactly where I am going. I'm not so super off track.

Part 1: 9 months to get to that goal of 10 pounds from goal weight. I'd like to be at my goal weight by Christmas.

Currently I am approximately 40lbs from my goal weight. How can I say approximately, you ask? Well, I'm moving into uncharted territory here. I haven't ever really known a weight where I felt healthy and good and could easily maintain. So I've decided to give myself a ballpark weight -- once I hit this weight, then I think I can reevaluate the situation and decide what my true happy weight should be. So you won't hear me saying I want to weigh x number of pounds. Ever. I've got a general goal, and then I'll go from there.

Part 2: On the fitness front, I'm working on the 10k thing. But because of my knees and feet I don't think I'll ever actually run a race. It would just hurt too much. I can still do it on the treadmill though! I think I need reminding that a)I've already come very far in this quest to get healthy and b)it's time to step it up a notch again. With the ending of my sessions with PT this seems like the perfect time to start thinking about my life and health without someone holding my hand. I want to try some new fitness classes too. That's a new addition to my list.

In these last few weeks of lurve and excitement, my fitness goals went by the wayside. But, things in that department have settled down a wee bit and I think it's time for me to remember exactly what I'm doing. Unlike the past, I have gotten my derailed mess back on track faster than before and without seriously crazy weight gain. I did gain about 5 pounds during these past two weeks. I am incredibly frustrated by this because I lose on average 4 pounds a month. So I know I will have a lot of hard work ahead of me to melt these pounds off. But I can do it. Yeah, I really can.

I think one of the things I'd like to start including in this blog is either a daily or weekly wrap up of my training sessions. Just to keep myself more accountable. I have been realizing in these last two super-slacker weeks just how much having PT has kept me motivated. I've found more excuses NOT to go to the gym this past month than I have in the last year. All that changes on Monday! It's back to being fit FGS for me. I like fit FGS -- she's much happier, way more radiant and less cranky.

So here's my question to peeps in blog land. Got any great sites for circuit training or workout planning??? I've learned a lot from PT but I am always up for something new!

Alright I'm wrapping this up with my three goals for this month.
1)Track my exercise/workouts here at least once a week.
2)Get back OP with WW and track my points.
3)Back to the gym 5 -6 days a week.

If it is written in black and white, I can't cheat, right?

Love and sunshine,
FGS
