Stats 01/22/10

November:
January:

I don't see a huge difference, only my arms look a little thinner. BUT...on my stats my arms were the only things that stayed the same. Hmmm...I know they are getting more toned, so that makes me happy. Like I've said before, my arms have always been the thing I've been the most self concious of...and I am going to change that, for good! So excited.

Stats:
Arms: 11.0--------->11.0
Thighs: 21.0------->20.0
Hips: 36.0--------->35.0
Waist: 27.5-------->27.0
Butt: 37.25-------->36.75

I'm happy with those stats!

Hello world...

Announcement: This blog is now...not private! So go ahead and put me on google reader so you can know when I've posted something new! Thanks!

Training

My workout schedule is as follows until March 22nd, when I start my official 1/2 marathon training.

Monday: 3 mile run
Tuesday: Turbo Jam (Punch, Kick and Jam)
Wednesday: 3 mile run
Thursday: Turbo Jam (Punch, Kick and Jam) + Yoga
Friday: 4 mile run
Saturday: Turbo Jam (Turbo Sculpt)
Sunday: Day off

My goal is to run 10-11 miles per week, and do cross training every other day. And as I get stronger, I will increase my mileage too! And I truly can't wait until it gets warmer so I can run outside!! Treadmills are not my favorite! But it's better than nothing! :)

I can do hard things!

Ok, so I have been slacking in the blogging department! Here's what I've been up to! I signed up for the Provo 1/2 Marathon in June and I am sooo excited. Part of me is really intimidated of course, I am not a great runner. BUT...I don't want that to be an excuse. I've always (in the back of my mind) wanted to run any kind of marathon, but kept doubting myself...saying I couldn't possibly do that. I have turned a new leaf now! I am tired of doubting my abilities. I was never an athlete, why can't I be one now? The only thing stopping me would be myself!!! And I have found a new confidence lately that has come with a big change of heart.

I am capable, strong and motivated! I am not immune to pain...I am having issues with my right knee at the moment, but it isn't going to stop me from trying to accomplish my goal. I am not even looking to finish this race in a certain time, I just don't want to be last. haha! But more importantly, I am learning things about myself I never knew. The more I live a healthier lifestyle, the happier I am. I am a better mother and wife as well. When I feel good about myself, I am happy!!! And I have this confidence that shouts out, "NOTHING CAN STOP ME!!!!!!!!!"

So here I am, training for something hard...but I can do hard things! I can do hard things! I can do hard things! I can do hard things! I CAN DO HARD THINGS!!!!!!!!!

Keep checking in, I will try to post at least twice a week now.
