My name is Michele. My overall goals are to loose weight, get healthy, and run the Princess Half in 2012. We are a Disney crazy family. Pretty much all our vacations revolve around Disney. So glad someone introduced me to the W.I.S.H. boards. Hopefully this journal will help me achieve my goals.
First on running: In May 2008 I watched my oldest in 3rd grade run a 5k as part of Girls on the Run. DH had to do it with her, there was no way I could even walk 3 miles. I was determined to get back in shape. I started by walking. Working up to 2 miles. By August I found c25k. I officially graduated in Nov 2008. I ran that 5k with my DD in 2009 and 2010. After several stops and starts I started Jan 2011 recommitted and have been on the treadmill 3 times a week since the beginning of 2011. I found I love the Galloway running program. I am back up to 30 minutes (1 minute run/1 minute walk) on monday and wed and 2.5 miles run/walk on fridays. I also walk extra with a goal of 60 minutes total on the treadmill. My running goals are:
1- Running the Castaway Cay 5k on our upcoming Disney Dream cruise in April. I have wanted to do this 2 other times and didn't.
2- Race for the Cure in May and hopefully do it faster than last year
3 - Start increasing distance of long runs in the summer
Weight loss/ eating healthier: I have been slowly gaining weight 1 pound a week or so. Time to put a stop to it! A week ago I started the South Beach Diet. So far I feel great. I have only lost 1-2 pounds, but I feel so much better starting to get rid of my sugar/carb cravings. My goals are:
1 - loose 8-10 pounds by March 30 when we leave on our Disney Dream cruise!
2 - keep on my eating plan while on the cruise, while enjoying myself!
3 - continue to eat better and loose weight when I return.
4 - 20 pounds and then maintain this for a while.
Here's to a great 2011!
