Rain rain go away!
The last 2 days, it's been raining.
Tomorrow looks clear! :)

Good news!
Jack's football practice has a track.
I'll be able to know exactly how far I'm going now. :)
I'm so excited!

Establishing my Goals!

My fitness goal by the end of 2014- to be able to run for 45 minutes without stopping.
My ultimate fitness goal by November 1, 2015- to run a half marathon.

My weight loss goal is to lose around 80lbs in 1 year. (August to August) Seems like a lot right? The recommend weight for my height is (4'11) is 94-119lbs. My goal is 120. I don't need to lose 80lbs to get to 120, but I've never weighed that little before. I might be almost as small as my mom!

My monthly goal is 1.5-2 lbs a week. That's a decent respectable goal. Not unattainable.
My plan- PORTION CONTROL, WATER& RUNNING!

Let's do this!

Vacation!

Not that I have readers or anything, but for the last week I've been on vacation with my family at Oak Island. We had a wonderful time! I didn't manage to run any but we did do plenty of walking. :)

I plan on picking up where I left off tomorrow, Monday. I'm feeling really good and I'm very excited to get out there.

If there's anyone reading this, would u make a comment so I know :) Doesn't matter if we don't know each other.

Happy Sunday!

Day 3- No Success

Alright, I'm being truthful. Yesterday, I was not able to get out and walk/run like I aimed for. So I have failed my 7 day mission. Having a guest over can really throw a kink in the routine. From here on out, if I know I will have guest, I will plan to do my run in the early morning before N head's out for work. 

I was definitely disappointed that I wasn't able to get out yesterday. Minor set back BUT I am definitely going to attack today!! 

Goals for today:

Walk/Run 45min-1hr

Running Goal: 15 min! 

Water: 6 glasses or 48oz

Day 2- SUCCESS.

Completed Day 2.
Walk & Run for 33 minutes today (Charlotte tired out..) I did run 13 more minutes today.
AND I drank all my water and skipped dessert.

Today felt different to me. I was ready to go. I was amped and I wanted to run more than I did.
I need to try to do Charlotte's walk separate from mine until I get more comfortable.

Go Leigh! Looking forward to tomorrow's run already. I'm setting a new goal of 15 minutes.
Let's see what I can do :)

Day 1- DONE.

Charlotte & I hit the road tonight and we did it.
I ran for about 13 minutes which is actually 3 more mins that I originally planned.
It is a small step beginner step but I'm proud that I did it.

I'm already looking forward to getting out there tomorrow. :)

Day 1

Today is the 1st day of my journey. Start small and aim big right? 

My goal for this week is to walk/run for 45 minutes. 

Running goal is 10 mins within those 45 minutes.  

My second goal is do to this EVERY SINGLE DAY.

My 3rd goal for is to drink 4 glasses of water. (I will add more the easier it gets.)

Well.. wish me luck.
