And devour an entire effing pizza. So, so badly.
I want carbs. Cheese and bread.
Get. In. My. Belly.
But, as much as I want pizza, I want this more:
And yes, I do follow "fitspo" (fit + inspiration) blogs that post lots of pictures like this...
Also, I decided Im going to have New Spring Goals. New Years resolutions...well, New Years is awhile away. And I figure it's 6 months (or so) until Spring Break, the next wedding I'm actually *in*, and in the long run, 6 months isn't really that far away. So, here we go.
Goals to Hit for Spring 2012:
- Look good for graduation
- When I graduated from Clemson, all my graduation photos have me and a double chin.
- Feel confident to purchase a swimsuit/bikini from somewhere other than target/walmart
- After getting said suit, taking cute pictures with friends at the beach
- Getting down to <18% bodyfat
- When I left for the summer, I was at about 20%. Trying to get back to that.
- Be somewhere in the 140s weight wise
- I would LOVE to be in the low 140s, but I'm not going to set an exact number on in
- Get my waist down below 30".
- Right now I'm about 30-31", so if I up the abs, I'm sure I can do it
- Be able to participate in the 5k
- The KKPsi "Live Laugh Run" fundraiser is the beginning of April. I can't run. Obviously I need to work on this.
- Have back dimples
- If you're not sure what I mean, Google "fitness back dimples". It's vain, but I want them.
- ULTIMATE goal:
- Go down another dress size. Right now I'm about an 8 (depending on the brand) so it would be amazing to go down to a 6. My idea is that if I'm a 6, it means I've lost flub and toned up all over, not just at one spot.
I think most of these are reasonable. Thoughts?
Several things to note: (1) Keep fighting the cravings. After you fight them for so long you won't have them anymore (I don't tend to crave fast food, pizza, or sweets nearly as much as I used to!)
ReplyDelete(2) I love your goals! :) Keep up the hard work and stay focused. You will have weeks where you slip and weeks that are great. Every day (and every meal) is a new one - so if you give in to temptation today, start new at the next chance.
(3) I'll run the 5k with you in April! I did the 5K 101 program, but C25k is good too! :o)
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnd let's do it, the 5K I mean. I'm terrible about running - 1 mile is tough as hell for me. But by April I hope to be better. And there's no rule that says I can't walk. As long as I finish, right?
That's right! All we have to do is finish! :-) I didn't think I could run more than a mile either - but with some practice and a good program (that you stick to), you can do it too! Just be sure to stretch after EVERY run...I didn't and I am paying for it now. :-(
ReplyDeleteWhich program do you suggest? the 5K 101?
ReplyDeleteI did the 5k 101 program. I liked it because most of the runs were "even minutes" in the sense that it would be like run for a minute, walk for 3 or Run 2, walk 2 or Run 8 walk 2, etc. The Couch 2 5k (C25k) program is like Run for 1.5 minutes, walk for 2.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about evenness throughout the run... and knowing that on the X:00 mark I run or walk. Call me picky but that's my preference. Plus sometimes I get lost in thought and I would know that if I was supposed to run for 8 and walk for 2 that on minute 10:00, I was supposed to run again. KWIM? :)
You can download it to your iPod - but I don't like to run with headphones in (they don't stay in, I don't want to get hit by a car, etc)...so I'd listen to the workout and just take a watch with me when I ran.
