It's Not about the Fast, It's about the Finish!
I'm a 30-something mother of 4. I joined SparkPeople in January 2009. My goal is to monitor my eating and exercise habits, and seeing the results in a slow, sensible pace.
I grew up having Hostess snacks in my lunches (every day), or Little Debbie whatevers. My portions were always double or triple what they should have been.
I've lost 20+ lbs on SparkPeople, and a total of 30+ lbs since January 2009. I still have weight to lose, but I have my sights set on other ...
I'm a 30-something mother of 4. I joined SparkPeople in January 2009. My goal is to monitor my eating and exercise habits, and seeing the results in a slow, sensible pace.
I grew up having Hostess snacks in my lunches (every day), or Little Debbie whatevers. My portions were always double or triple what they should have been.
I've lost 20+ lbs on SparkPeople, and a total of 30+ lbs since January 2009. I still have weight to lose, but I have my sights set on other goals while I get there. In 2009 I did two 5ks, an 8k, a half marathon, and 2 full marathons. Who knows what 2010 will hold! I have a goal to run 1+ miles per day!
Some of my milestones:
January 2009 - Weight loss begins; lost my first 10 lbs in this month
March 2009 - Heritage 5k - First 5k that I ran in. Previously walked many annual Breast Cancer 5k Walks.
April 2009 - 25 lbs down; went from a size 18 to a size 12
May 2009 - Frederick Running Festival Twilight 5k
July 2009 - Rockville Twilight 8k
Riley's Rumble Half Marathon
October 2009 - Freedom's Run Marathon & Marine Corps Marathon
For the new year (2010), I will be attempting a running streak goal. At least 1 mile or more per day. The first week was tough, as I was asking my body to do something it is not accustomed to...but if I'm going to make lifelong change, then I need to challenge myself to stay motivated and be that 'done' girl I said I would be!
Here is what my events are looking like:
March 2010 - Heritage Farm Park 5k
Run 2 Register 10k
May 2010 - Frederick Running Festival Half Marathon
June 2010 - Race 4 The Cure 5k
July 2010 - Riley's Rumble Half Marathon
October '10- Baltimore (not sure if it will be half or full)
Marine Corps Marathon
November - Turkey Trot 5k
