Hello, March!

March Goals
Well, February, I feel like we barely got to know each other before you were gone. That’s okay, though. March is here to step in and take over!
I am ramped up, fired up, and lit up for a spectacular March. I will weigh in tomorrow morning, and then I have four more weigh-ins in March to make some serious progress.
I have a lot to do over the next 31 days.
My March Goals:
- Get down to 149 pounds or lower.
- Hit 100 running miles.
- Consistently log my food and drink, at least Monday through Friday.
That ought to keep me busy! I make this serious promise to myself right here, right now: no weight gains this month. No spinning my wheels. No backtracking. Nothing but moving forward and closer to my goal.
I got the new month off to a good start with an early morning run at the gym. Today I tried the 30 minute 90s music fun run, and I have to say, I am officially hooked on the Peloton app. I had planned to just test drive it for 3 months and then cancel, but now I have to seriously consider keeping it. It’s only $20 a month, but that’s on top of my gym membership, workout DVDs, running gear…then again, isn’t it a good investment in my health, happiness, and general bad-assery?
Last night, pondering what to wear to work today, I spotted the corner of a black sweater peeking out from the bottom of the pile. I wasn’t even sure which sweater it was, so I tugged it out. Oh, yeah, that one! Lordy, I haven’t seen that one in ages. I had deliberately stuck it on the bottom when it got too tight to even think about wearing. I tried it on, and it fit just fine. I wore it to work today and feel wonderful. No one else knows it hasn’t fit in at least a year, but I do!
I’m looking forward to the weekend. It’s supposed to rain quite a bit, but hopefully the clouds will give me a break and let me fit in a long run.
Oh, almost forgot! This weekend, my husband and I are going to hit Home Depot so we can pick up what he needs to make me a running medal and bib display. I found one I really like online, and he told me he can make it for me. I can’t wait! Just in time, too: I have already registered for another half marathon 🙂
Hello, March!
Hello, March! You’ve kind of sneaked up on me. We are already starting the third month of this year? Maybe I should consider getting a start on my New Year resolutions, then.
I’ve set some things in place to motivate me and keep me on my toes this month. I have joined two challenges on LoseIt, a weight loss challenge and an exercise minutes challenge. I signed up for a free trial of Leslie Sansone’s Your Daily Walk app, so I have 31 days’ worth of free workout videos, just waiting for me to take them for a spin. I have a brand new, blank, shiny workout log posted on the fridge, and a stash of colored star stickers for the calendar, for each day that I work out.
I’m excited to see what I can accomplish this month. My husband keeps telling me he has no doubt I will kick ass once I feel I am damn good and ready, and it’s about time to do just that!
