Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in your lungs, and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells can't. But you don't listen. You just push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper can. And you discover that the person you thought you were is NO match for the one you really are.

February All Ready!!

I know, I know.  We are a week in already.  But I just can't believe how fast time is flying by.  It's craziness.

In case you were panicking about the time flying by too, don't worry.  There is time to get your fitness goals set for the year.  I set mine back at the beginning of January.  But lets be honest, it doesn't matter when you decide that the time is right for you to improve your health, as long as you dedicate yourself to accomplishing your goal.

To help me with accomplishing mine, I need to let you know what mine are so you can help keep me accountable.

NUTRITION:

By the end of the year, I want to be completely Eating Clean.  This is far tougher than I thought it was going to be.  Planning at home meals, eating out, eating at other peoples homes, holidays, birthdays, vacations.  Lets just say the last couple of months have been rough on my digestive system.

FITNESS:

My running time has been extremely limited since I had my 2 youngin's.  But I seriously want to add miles on my shoes this year.  To do that, my running goals include:

3 = 5K's
1 = 10K
1 =Ragnar Relay

I'm quite excited.  I'm already registered for the Ragnar and two weeks into training.  BooYah!

To add to my speed and endurance I set the goal of:

-lifting 3 times a week
-cross training 2-3 times a week.
-accomplish the Holiday Trim Your Tire Challenge (Nov-Dec)

SELF IMAGE:

Self image is a big deal.  I don't want anyone, especially my daughter to feel as though she has to fuss about her weight and looks her whole life.  To help her to understand that self confidence, sense of humor, kindness, knowledge, and joy are the most beautiful aspects of a person, I am going to need to feel/see these traits in myself.  So, I will be:

-improving my knowledge by reading 100 books.
-improving my self confidence by racing and lifting
-improving my involvement in my community

I am an extreme goal maker.  I know this.  Multiple categories, subcategories. But there is really only one way to make and keep your goals, and that's to do what's important to you and is going to improve your life.  Your way.  With the support of friends.

I would love to be your support.  Will you be mine throughout this year?
