So...I'm way out of shape. I'm getting married September 18, 2010 and I really want to have an awesome body by then! I'm not unhappy with my weight but I wouldn't miss a few founds if I were to lose them. My main goal is to become fit and toned. I think I'm about average for my size, but I have absolutely nothing to base that on. The last time I weighed in I was about 127ish and I'm about 5'3". I have some flab that I just need to get rid of.
I've been running most days for the past couple weeks but I haven't had any set goals or anything. Fellow knottie, Mel pointed me in the right direction. I started my first day of C25K today! I thought the first few days would be a piece of cake since I have been running about 1/2 mile straight...NOT THE CASE! I didn't lose my breath as much today as I did when I was just running the 1/2 mile but my legs sure are feeling it! That's a good thing since they are one of my target areas (along with my belly and butt). So...why is it important for me to run a 5K?...read on
Sophomore year of college I made a list of things I wanted to do before I graduate. Some of them don't work out so well with my current goals (I wanted to try ALL of Cookout's milkshake flavors...that's not too good for the honeymoon body I'm going for). One goal I've held on to is running in the Krispy Kreme Challenge before I graduate. I just want to run it...and run back with my dozen of yummy deliciousness! I really wanted to run it this past year since it was the first year it was on ESPN, but I couldn't even run a mile straight. Needless to say I wasn't going to be able to run the 4 miles required to complete the Krispy Kreme Challenge.
I'm also struggling with the food issue this summer. For FI and I, this summer has been all about saving. I only have a microwave while I'm in the dorms for my internship. I decided that I was going to cut my costs on food. I set a budget of...drumroll...$10 a week! That will pretty much buy you some Ramen, bread, sandwich meat, milk and cereal. Of course this hasn't been very easy to stick to...I think I've only stayed within that budget 2 weeks all summer...but I have only had fast food once while in Asheville! I'm taking baby steps here.

baby steps will give you more of a chance to make a change. big leaps, sometimes lead to failures...you need smaller goals to help keep you motivated..if the goal is too big--you will likely quit.
