How's the increased water going for everyone?
So, for the first of January, we all made resolutions for the year. Most of which, were to join this group and make a commitment to losing weight, finding a healthier you, believing in yourself, becoming proud of your body. But, why make just one resolution to last the entire year, when each day brings us an opportunity. Therefore, those who were in round one know that I asked them to become a kid again and dream!
I asked them on the first of February to to remember something they dreamed of doing as ca child, or something they loved doing as a child and to do it within this year! Set yourself a fun goal that you've always wanted to do. Some goals in my past that I've attained have been, fly (literally) fly a plane! Go to the Oprah show, where Bette Midler would be a guest...yes, I put it out there and it happened. Run a half marathon. Pay off my college debt, prior to graduating. Marry. Start a family. What are some of your "out there" dreams that you would like to attain? Share, and be sure to complete it.
Now, today...it's March 1st and I'm asking you to make this a goal....think of me pushing you to do this. I'm sure some of you have seen others post this as their statuses on facebook...but, I didn't want to overwhelm the "newbies" yesterday, so, here it is today....I want YOU to believe in yourself (January's goal) and push yourself to complete a 5k. We would do this in eight weeks at the end of this session, together or individual (your vote). A 5k is 3.1 miles. And this 5k, that I found will be in Hudson on April 17th and would benefit the Orphans with a registration fee of $25.00. It is a walk/run. You leave from Seton school, loop around Hudson Springs park twice, and then done! I found these two training programs, Hal Higdon (which is what I'm using for my half marathon) and couch to 5k Of these two programs, the Hal Higdon is an eight week program, and the other is a nine week...so, be sure to look and start on the right spot, leaving the last day the 5k! Then, if it works with most people's schedules, we could then meet up for breakfast after the 5k...just like we did dinner this past time. Or we could do dinner so I can announce the winner. (Again, your vote!)
And, thought I would put a fun picture in here for you all....let this not be one of us!
Let me know if your in! And, be sure to register by clicking on the above 5k link.
(which really commits you!)
I am so happy that March 1st is here and I am looking forward to the changes that can be done! Let me be the 1st one to say I never thought that I would be at the weight that I am at now and loving it! I am still losing weight and still going good I just hope that you all are ready to lose the weight and to get to the goal that you want to be at and maintain that weight too! It is not always easy to lose weight and I personally have had lots of challenges on losing weight! IT CAN BE DONE!
ReplyDeleteHello everyone!! I hope all are doing well with water intake..and floating. I am looking forward to round 2...and if anyone has any questions concerns.....Lynsey is a great resource. For years she has been telling me..that water for my knees would help...yadda yadda yadda....it is wonderful...so I must say she does know what she is talking about! Good Luck this week with the challenge!
ReplyDeleteMom....I'm so happy that you FINALLY listened about getting into the water, even moreso, I'm happy that you are enjoying it enough to continue to go! It's always easy to continue working out by finding something you enjoy to do! Keep up the good work- I love you!
ReplyDeleteI got all of my water in yesterday. Workin' on it today! I do feel as though I will float away, LOL! But it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, I'll be honest.

Kelly, great job getting in all the water! Nancy, great job getting in the water!
ReplyDeleteIt's hump day everyone, keep up the great work!!!
I personally don't know about the rest of you, but I am having a hard time this week. For some reason I just can't get in the work out mind frame! I mean I am pushing myself to go, but not feeling like I am getting much out of it! I keep coming back to this blog and reading it. The water thing is a piece of cake now, if only I could get in the work out frame of mind :) Good luck everyone!
ReplyDeleteWell so far so good, however the water thing is a problem for me due to being on the road for 10 to 12 hours a day, and we all know what drinking a lot of water does to you. Well I just don't have the facilities available to me. Other wise everything else is going great!!
ReplyDelete*Evil Laughter* Ha Ha Ha! Be prepared to see next weeks challenge posted on Friday....and you all can thank Kelly & Stevie for saying the water one was easy...don't you worry, I have some tricks up my sleeves! On a more serious note, glad that the water intake has been easy...I hope to be listing LOTS of names for recognition!
