Welcome 2010!

Yeah, I’m back…   After reading all the #10yearsago posts on twitter the other day, I was thinking what I was doing 10 years ago.  I could not remember what I was doing 10 years ago…  Was I in Florida?  After thinking about it for a minute or a day, I realized that 10 years ago was Y2K.  Who could forget that?  Waiting for every computer to fail, wide spread power outages, total chaos…   I spent that night at a friends house in Western, MA waiting for nothing to happen…

Then I was thinking about what I was like back then…  I had just lost about 70lbs and was full of confidence.  I lost a good deal of weight in a little over a year,  and ten years later it is all back plus some.  It is time to get serious about this.  I am starting all over Wednesday Weigh-in Week 1 this week!   Its time to get fit and meet the goals I have had for years!!!

Weight in Week 8 & More

The last month or so has been a little crazy with lots of overtime, Christmas, vacation, ect.  I have been eating poorly and have got back in the habit of dining out… I have to get back in the habit of cooking at home and making lunches for work.  I also have to get down to the gym and sign up.  So I gained back 8 pounds over the holiday crazyness.  I figured I would see 5 or so…  To gain 8 pounds and have a great vacation is fine by me… Is this the wrong way of thinking?

I am setting some goals for 2009:

1. I want to be at or under 200lbs for 2010
2. I want to be able to run a 10k on new years day 2010

So 80 lbs in 52 weeks, I think that is doable.  If I follow the couch to 5k program I think a 10k is fairly doable… only time will tell.
