Goal #1 - Weight

First off, I want to apologize for falling off the blogging wagon.  I need to set it up better so it doesn't happen again/often :-)

Okay, now onto why I'm writing this post.

So I had written my goals down just three weeks ago ... right after I got back from a vacation and was re-energized.  The first one was my weight issue.  Then, something happened this last Tuesday at boot camp that kinda altered my thinking (slightly).

We had an assessment day, and one of the tests was to see how quick we could run 1 mile.  I knew it wasn't going to be pretty.  But when I finished, at 15 minutes, and was just about to hyperventilate, it hit me.  I wasn't just over weight, I was straight up OUT OF SHAPE.

I'll be honest, I cried like a baby on the way home (no tears at boot camp though, it's BOOT CAMP.  Gotta keep your game face on!!) but when the tears dried up, and I had "cried it out" ... I made myself a promise.  A side goal to all of this, if you will.  Never again would I be that girl.  The girl who felt like she was going to die after just running one flipping mile.  So though my focus will be on the scale as well, if I improve my fitness levels and the scale doesn't budget - I'll find it a "win" deep down.

So.  I don't know if I'm ready to share with you guys my "starting" weight.  BUT I'm okay with sharing with you my goals I want to hit :-)

> By October 31st, I'd like to be down 10 lbs
> By November 30th, I'd like to be down 8 lbs
> By December 31st, I'd like to be down 5 lbs (I'm being realistic here, being the holidays and all!)
> By my daughter's birthday, February 19th, I'd like to be down 15 lbs
> By Memorial Day, I'd like to be down another 20 lbs
> By the end of Summer 2012, I'd like to be down 20 lbs
> And finally, by October 31st 2012, I'd like to hit my goal weight, which is 127 lbs (odd # I know)

So those are my goals.  I would elaborate more, but it's time to go to Zumba.  Zumba is my most favoritest thing in the WORLD.  It'll always be my first <3
