January Totals

January was a good month in some ways, a bad month in others. Overall, I feel like I've turned a new leaf. I'm waiting for the scale to reflect that change and a few of my old habits to get with the new program, but it's a curve I'm willing to deal with if it puts me in the place I'm aiming for. Here it is in numbers:

Weight loss total: UP 2 POUNDS! Booooooo. Need to really make sure I'm tracking everything that goes into my mouth, and honestly, it might be time to scale back on the booze. Not just because it has a lot of points, but because it tends to make me eat anything and everything that crosses my path!

Weight loss goals for February:

1. Weight loss every week, even just a tiny bit.
2. Stay within daily and weekly WW points and track everything.
3. Drink maximum of 3 nights per week (preferably 2). THIS MEANS I NEED TO PLAN AHEAD

Running/walking total: Holy crap! I put 32.7 miles on these chubby legs! Interesting note: this is exactly 32.7 more miles than I moved by butt last January.

Running goals for February:

1. Finish C25K program!
2. Meet with the doctor to find out if I have anterior shin splints or if (nooooooooooo) I've crossed into the realm of stress fractures. Fingers crossed on that one because I don't think I could handle having to take time off from running right now. I'm working so hard!
3. Work in an alternate workout (weights, bike, fencing, dancing like a fool, etc) at least once a week on off-running days.

Okay, that's enough recapping and goaling for now, I have a new month to attend to.
