Dave and I started doing the couch to 5k running plan last week, and we're kind of excited. Truthfully, I don't love it most of the time, but I can picture myself loving it someday, so I'm glad we're doing it. So, I think I'm going to measure this month's exercise in miles, rather than minutes (though I do also have 2 classes of Zumba left).
Bible reading will pretty much be a permanent one. The first month I allowed myself to miss 8 days, the second month 7 days, and this month will be 6 days.
Organizing project also seems like a good idea. It's measurable, but also really open and flexible. I'll have to see what I come up with!
And finally, we're trying to be more intentional about eating healthy foods. Actually, we're really good at eating healthy foods, so I guess it's more that we're working to eliminate the unhealthy foods. And I think we'll do better if we're more organized with our food(because more organization can solve pretty much anything, right??) So I think I want to give meal planning a shot.
In summary, here are my goals for this month:
- 40 miles of exercise.
- Read my Bible 24 days.
- Complete one organizing project.
- Try meal-planning for a week.
I did the Couch to a 5K about 5 years ago. It was awesome! I did it for 3 months, lost 35 pounds and was running about 10 miles at a time. Then, I got pregnant with Hazel and was put on bedrest...so, so much for losing 35 pounds :) I think you are really going to like the program. I also used sparkpeople.com for about 6 weeks and lost 15 pounds...then, I got pregnant with Lola. But, it is an awesome program as well! I need to lose another 30 pounds, but I am afraid I will get pregnant again :)
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know! I really want to be in better shape, and I'd like to drop weight too. I'll have to check out the spark website. Thanks for the encouragement!
