Week one is in the books and it wasn't so bad. I was aiming primarily for consistency and as a secondary goal I was hoping to nail all the workouts even if the days were mixed around a bit. I achieved a fair amount of consistency and only missed a couple workouts so overall, it was a good start.
My run/walking has been progressing rather nicely. I did my weekly long one on New Year's Day and for the first time, it was totally pain and pressure free. It was a great way to start the year. I spent a lot of time on the bike and made it to the pool once (I know, room for improvement) and did a couple shorter runs. I am just scratching the surface but it feels good to be back with a new goal.
Speaking of goals, I need to buckle down on the weight loss and fast. The holidays really did some damage this year, which isn't much of a surprise based on the seemingly endless string of parties, truffle dinners, chocolates, more parties and copious amounts of fabulous wine. I'm not going to complain, I enjoyed every decadent moment gaining those pounds, but alas it's training season again so it's time to be healthier. At least five days a week...
Glad week one went well!! Hope week 2 is just as good :)
ReplyDeleteglad you are off to a good start :) i hear ya on the weightloss... it was a 'goal' for '09 but somehow i ignored it and gained instead. here's to dropping some pounds this year!
ReplyDeleteI was totally inspired by your accounts of how you are getting fit and healthy. It reminded me of my daughter Melanie, she too does all those things. I, well I am swimming at moment, finding it hard to breath properly, but need to keep going down there, in fact I might go in for some swimming lessons, though I used to think I could swim well, but maybe not, well I am 58 years old now. So getting on. Need to lose weight, so joined a slimming club.
