Year in Review - 1 Year on JC

Normally, "year in review" posts are reserved for the end of the calendar year.  But, since I've been distracted and unmotivated, I thought it might be time to review what's changed in the past year.

I "called Jenny" on June 23, 2007 and had my first weigh-in 1 year ago today - July 3, 2007.    Prior to the call, I had tipped the scales at 264 pounds.  Ouch!  Today, I officially weighed 51 pounds less, even with the extra 5 pounds I gained over the past two weeks.   (Can I give myself credit for the 264 WI being a BAN, morning weight... and the 213 WI today was a 4:30 PM, clothed WI??!)   

I consider that to be a success!  Maybe I should've, could've, would've lost more if I had done X, Y, or Z.  But, it's counter-productive to think that way...and it also diminishes what I have accomplished.

So, instead of doing that, I'm going to review the fitness goals that I set for myself last summer:

1. Participate in a 5K run/walk  (even if I finish last) DONE
2. Ride a bike for 1 hour at a moderate pace without my legs & butt getting sore  DONE
3. Swim laps without sounding like a panting dog afterwards
4. 5K run/walk...  and do reasonably well (not last!)  DONE
5. Ride a bike vigorously for 1 hour
6. 10K run... and finish  Ran/walked a 10K - need to improve
7. Participate in the Danskin Women's Triathlon... and finish
8. Take Trapezeee lessons!

So, this year I will work on goals 3, 5, 6, and 7.   

(The trapeze lessons are expensive and will be a "reward" to myself for reaching my goal weight.....if I'm not 85 by that time.  LOL)

In addition to being eating terribly lately, I've also been completely unmotivated to exercise.  In part due to some injuries that just will not heal completely, but also ..... just 'cause.  SO, tomorrow morning I will drag my hiney out of bed and get on my bike.  That's just the way it's going to be - unless my hubby convinces me to do the July 4th 5K in our neighborhood.  Either way, I'm doing something!

HAVE A HAPPY & SAFE 4th OF JULY!!

(Cheesy, I know.... gray was as close as I could get and still have it be legible!)

coool

Trapeze lessons!!  How fun!!

(I'm a lurker, too.)

Great list!

Congrats on all you have accomplished your first year on plan!!  I agree:  trapeze lessons!  OMG!!  That thought scares the heck out of me, but if it's your thing go for it!! 

Thanks for visiting and cheering me on and all that!!  I'm doing great and still will be doing the same things I know work for me.

(( HUGS )) and happy 4th!
