Today is July 1st! This means I only have 6 months to complete my 2010 resolutions! I was reviewing them this morning and am not doing well at all 🙁 Oh No!
But, the good news is that 6 months is plenty of time to finish them off. It’s just going to take a lot of hard work.
Fitness Goals:
-Lose 20 pounds – (Intuitive Eating, Cut back on sweets, Eat whole foods)
Status: I’ve lost five pounds so far, but still have 15 to go. I’ve decided to join Weight Watchers and lose the rest with a more organized plan since it seems I am not moving in the right direction with this.
Run a 1:45 half marathon and a sub four hour full marathon (yikes!)
Status: Nope. I have not run one half marathon this year and my full marathon was a fail um, not quite there.
Plan: Long Beach Full and I’m thinking the Las Vegas Half to reach these goals!
– Do Yoga twice a week
Status: I became obsessed with KB and yoga went out the window. I’m totally fine with that, but need to find KB and/or yoga in SoCal now.
– Run five races
Status: 2 races down, 3 to go… TBA
– Recommit to being vegetarian
Status: I have stuck to this 90% and I’m at peace with that too 🙂
Personal Goals:
Enjoy more time with family and friends
Status: Well, I spent a lot of time with Ben…
Go to a new country
Status: Planned for September 🙂
Learn Spanish
Status: Fail, but I have a bunch of books and programs to help
Choose to be happy
Status: Working on it, but definitely happier than I’ve been in a long time!
Run – This morning I had to stall my run a bit because my stomach hurt from all the junk I ate yesterday. Boo. But, when I finally did get out I did a great 6 miles!
The stats:
Mile 1: 8:55
Mile 2: 8:49
Mile 3: 8:39
Mile 4: 8:31
Mile 5: 8:49
Mile 6: 8:46
Then, it was time for breakfast. One of the things I brought in my suitcase was my fave protien powder:
This morning I made a smoothie…
and some PB&J toast x2. 
This is my favorite breakfast, and the only reason I eat anything else is because I “make” myself!
Question: How are your 2010 Goals/Resolutions going???
I decided to try counting points too…(not joining WW officially b/c no extra money allowed to pay for that, but I found my points online somewhere and know how to count) At any rate, I had been eating like 1300-1500 cals and not getting anywhere with it, so the past 2 days I decided to try WW, I think i might like counting points better than counting calories……..we shall see!! its helping me make smarter choices, because while before i was counting calories and making chips fit in, while counting points, i dont want to waste my measly point allotment on chips :-p i look forward to seeing how u do!
I don’t make resolutions, so I guess technically I’m doing great!
That smoothie looks gooooood!
I think I may be the only blogger alive that doesn’t really set goals. Fear of failure perhaps?!
I’m did an evaluation last week and I’m happy with the progress I have made towards my goals.
I don’t think Weight Watchers is a good choice for someone who is close to their goal, exercises rountinely, and already knows what they should be eating. I did it for about 3 weeks earlier this year and I was hungry all the time. I ate all the points I was supposed to eat each day and used some of the “bonus points.” When I converted the points allowed into calories, I was only allotted 1200 calories per day. No wonder people lose weight, but it’s also no wonder most people don’t stick with the program. I think writing down everything you eat is a great idea, but I certainly wouldn’t pay to join Weight Watchers to do that. Sorry for the dissertation, just wanted to share my experience with you.
Mine are generally the same every year and every year I seem to not accomplish them. It might be time to admit that these are little imperfections that I need to just embrace and not beat myself up over :).
Well, my resolution (or goal) for the year was to run a marathon and qualify for Boston. However I was injured early on in training for a May marathon, so I now have my fall marathon to attempt this feat.
So far, so good!
I love the smoothie in a beer mug!
Thanks for reminding me about my goals. I’ve been thinking about joining WW for the past 2 weeks and I may do it. Ive been inspired by all the success stories. I need to revisit my resolutions too.
I’m actually doing pretty well with many of my resolutions actually!
when is the lb marathon? i’ve never run any of their races, is there a 1/2? and my cousin asked me to run the vegas half but it’s like, over $100! and only $10-15 less than the full…what is up with that?!
i know you’ can accomplish all your goals! you’re doing a great job so far!
I think you will do really well on WW. I am a huge fan. Now that you are in CA, I would like to meet up for a run. Our splits on our runs today look pretty close, so I bet it would be a good run.
Awesome goals! (Have you mentioned or hinted about the trip this September?!) I looked back at my goals in June and got a little discouraged (Haha… the one I was doing well with was a “shoe-in” to begin with…) but you’re right — we still have 6 months to go! We can do it 🙂
Those a great goals! I need to revisit my goals and see how I’m doing…
i’m totally failing at my goals as well. haha. i think i need to print mine out or something because if they’re not in front of me i totally forget about them!
