Goal pants.

Goal pants, we all have them right? Well I found mine as I was cleaning out my closet the other day and decided to try them on. I was disappointed when I could not zip or button them. I decided to keep them as my "goal". The last time I wore these pants was about 2 years ago. I am taking a picture in them each week to see my body transform and hopefully fit into them again!

Proud of myself!

Started running in between skating and trying to build up strength in my bum knee. I started using light walking weights while running and skating to tone my arms as I go, yay for multitasking!!!



I have only been exercising these past few weeks and lost 4lbs already. 4 more until I am where I want to be. I need to fit into my favorite jeans again!!!!

Only makes me STRONGER!

I DID IT!!! I beat my weekly goal of 4.5 miles!

It was a little tough and windy, almost gave up at one point, but I kept pushing because I knew I can do it. Now to think of new goals for next week. I think I will get light weights for my wrists to work out my arms while I skate. Also need to work in an ab routine at one point. How did everyone do with their goals this week?

Here is one of my fav workout songs for inspiration . Now time to celebrate my birthday :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Almost there!

So I almost accomplished my weekly goal of 4.5 miles, yay! Hoping to do that by Sunday ;) how is everyone else doing with their weekly goals? Feels good to be skating again, so much fun!

Fitness

I have not really used this blog in awhile. My friend and fellow blogger inspired me to revamp my blog and turn it into a fitness tracker. Throughout the year, I have been on and off with my workout routines. But I figured if I write about my goals and accomplishments it may push me to achieve more :)


So I am going to start from scratch...
My most favorite workout at the moment is rollerblading. I love it because it's easy on my bad knee, and I can sort-of accomplish similar goals to running (except for I skate much faster than I can run). I usually skate about 3.5 miles at a time. I am going to push my goal this week to 4.5 miles by Friday. I know I can do it! Now time for me to get off my ass and start skating :)

(no this is not me).

January's coming to an end.... 4 years already?!?!

I guess it's true the older you get, the quicker the years fly by, and I'm not even old yet! With that being said, January is coming to an end already. So many things happened this month:

-We went to the skating rink for the first time in years

-Jen and Jay had their beautiful baby girl, Stella

-Went camping

-Started a workout routine (and sticking to it so far)

-Austin's grandma passed :(

-Kayaked a few times

I am hoping for a great February. February is a very special month for Austin and I. Our wedding anniversary is February 2nd (4 years already!!!), and our dating anniversary is February 9th (which will be 10 years together! WOW!), and I am still loving every minute of every day with him :)

I hope to make more blog posts in February and throughout the rest of the year, now it's about time for bed. I will leave you with a photo from our special day Shot by the wonderful Steve Martine.

Goodnight!

2012.... Already??

I realized I have had this blog since 2008 and have not really done anything with it, so I will starting today. :)

First of all I cannot believe it's already 11 days into 2012. The years do go by a lot quicker every year as I get older. Okay I am not that old (27) but it's true! This year I have decided that I am going to change my life (for the better). I want to become more organized and eliminate the clutter in my life. I would like to eat healthier (I gained 10lbs last year :-P), and workout more. I want to start doing more outdoorsy activities on the weekends instead of going out to bars/clubs. I would like to travel to at least one place I never been. I would like to make at least one craft a week. It is day 11 of 2012 and I have already started working towards my goals.

Today is my day off. I better get off the computer and start my day :)

Have a great day everyone!
