Fitness Fridays

In addition to Marriage Mondays, I'm going to be starting up Fitness Fridays.  I will post a 'before' picture which is really an 'in progress' picture but this is the first time I've started keeping track of my fitness progress.  Maybe if I put pictures out there, I'll feel a bit more pressure to get serious.  I was doing really great when I was in California by myself for work.  I was working out every day and seeing some real progress.  I even did a Warrior Dash and ran 10k for the first time in my life.  Now that I've been back home with the kids and normal life for a while, I've totally gotten out of my workout routine and have gained 10 lbs.  I didn't realize how hard it would be to find time to work out while working and taking care of 3 kids.  I NEED to figure this out.  As I go through this journey, I will be posting pictures as well as what has been working for me.  I weigh 150lbs right now.  My goal is to get below 135 (although my appearance is more important than the number) and I want to see my abs.  I also would like to run a half marathon next year.

So here it goes.... see you Friday!

    Ok, so I don't want to belittle your goals, not at all. BUT, here's the scoop. I KNOW that you have more than that in you. :) I think you should set your goals a little bit higher....you could do a half marathon by the end of this year. I know it. :) I've complete faith in your abilities, and the only thing I see missing in your post is YOUR complete faith in your abilities. I'm looking forward to your Friday post!

      Haha.... thanks for the encouragement and the vote of confidence. I know I could do a half this year if I really pushed myself but honestly right now my main goal is getting into a routine again. I don't want to obsess about getting to a certain point too fast because then I have a tendency to overtrain. Once I get back into my groove, then I'll really push it but since I'm essentially starting over, I want to be careful starting out... especially with my knees. (Plus, I'm leaving myself some room in case baby number four happens in there somewhere. lol)
