The Countdown to 180 begins today!!!

[Brichard]

am at 198! I actually weighed 204 mid-day Saturday which helped inspire my fast! Anyway, I actually was starting to eat more fruit and vegetables this last week. I am so glad I asked dw to pick up fruit and bottled water on our way to the hotel. Not only did it save money, but it kept my eating intake better. I still fell off the wagon and ate some peanuts and cookies, but the improvement overall was there.

Here is my plan for the week. It is a bit aggressive, but with the Mini only 4 weeks away I need to do it.

Sunday- Rest
Monday- Rest
Tuesday- 7 mile run
Wednesday- 2 mile walk
Thursday- 7 mile run
Friday- 2 mile walk
Saturday- 10 mile run


I've done a 6 mile run and a 5.4 mile run last week, so I'm not that far off the 7 mile run attempt. I've also done an 8 mile run which is just 2 miles shy of the 10 miler. If I can do this for the next four weeks I should be in real good shape for the mini. Normally I only do one 10 mile run prior to the mini, but this year I am shooting for loftier speed goals. I figure the only way to hit them is to at least be able to go at the proper speed for 10 miles.

I'm shooting for a weight loss of 1-2 pounds. My previous low was 193, so once I hit that I will be at my prior stopping point on the road to 180!

Nah....stick to the original plan. Kids love doing things with their parents. Of course whether you get to 10 miles or not will depend on who's chasing who!! LOL

Good luck to you both!
