Goals

I think it is very important in life to have goals. This could be work related goals, personal goals, family goals, etc. I think when it comes to exercise it is necessary to have goals. Maybe you want to lose a few pounds. Maybe you would like to tone up. Whatever it may be, I think it is extremely important to have something that you are working towards.

Personally, I would love to get my body fat % down just a little bit and I would like to be better with eating. Part of the reason I started this blog is so I can hold myself accountable for not only the food part, but also for the exercise.

I like to try to get in 2 really good workouts during the week at EIF. Sometimes it is hard with my weird schedule but I try to make it work. Sometimes I get to bring Camden with me to work out. When that happens it's really like a double workout. Try chasing around a 13 month old between exercises. Helllllo cardio.

I also want to start running more. I currently average about a couple of times a month. I don't run very far - 2, maybe 3 miles if I'm feeling really good. My goal with running is to not do it for distance but to do it as more of an interval training. Sprint, jog, walk - repeat until 2 miles are complete. Something along those lines. I ran a half marathon 4 months after giving birth to Camden and that was honestly one of the hardest things I have ever done. Read about my half marathon experience. My goal is to sprint - jog - walk at least 2-3 times a week. I "ran" yesterday for a mile and it felt pretty good. I wanted to wake up today and run before the little guy got up, but I was trying to survive from the food poisoning I got on Sunday. Fun!!

The food poisoning held me back from running today and it also had an impact on what I've been eating. Eggs for breakfast?? No thank you! Today it was toast with peanut butter. Snacking on apples, bananas and pretzels and making sure I'm drinking plenty of water. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!! ::crossing fingers::

What are some of your goals??
