Baby Pics, Couch to 5k and Goals!

Hey guys!  Sorry I've been MIA the last week or so.  I have been so busy and so obsessed with my teeny tiny little nephew!  He was born last Sunday at 6.21pm and weighed 5lbs exactly!  He is so adorable, I can hardly stand it! lol  Here is a wee pic of him.  His name is Aaron =)

1 day old!

Do you like my hair??!!

Isn't he gorgeous?!! 

Anyway, he was my excuse for skipping my workouts and not following my WW plan.  I started from scratch (again!) yesterday and hit up the gym this morning.  I started the Couch to 5k plan again - and this time I'm just going to follow it to the T!  Usually I start to feel a lot fitter and run for longer than they say - of course, I end up burning myself out and giving up altogether.  This time I am determined not to overdo it.  If I follow and complete the plan, then I could finally call myself a runner!  I would love to be a runner and be able to complete a 5K, 10K, hell, even one day a Marathon!!

Here's my workout for today:

Treadmill 30 minutes - Couch to 5k - Running intervals (5 min warm up. 1 min run. 1.30 walk. 5 min cooldown).

Spin Bike - 35 minutes - I did a "spin class" podcast that I downloaded - Let me tell you it was H.A.R.D.!!

Then I stretched for about 5 minutes.  And did a cool down walk around the gym.  

Total Calories Torched:  759 calories. (10 Activity points earned!)

My diet today has been pretty good too!  I have had plenty water, 5 servings of fruit and veg, a healthy dinner, healthy snacks (and some unhealthy ones but I have tracked 'em).  I just have to remember how good I feel when I eat well and exercise.  It's not rocket science...... =)

My Goals for 2011

By New Year's Eve 2011 - I hope to be a healthy and happy weight - hopefully about 125lbs!

Keep kicking ass in the gym

Complete a 5K and then perhaps a 10k!

Start paying off some of my credit card debt.

Try out Roller Derby.

.............this is all I can think of right now!  It will be a work in progress!!

My goals for this week are:

To exercise at least 3 times in the gym

To track my pro-points and stay within said pro-points!

To lose at least 3lbs at my next weigh in

To eat more fruit and veggies

Drink more water

Get up early for work!  (This will be the most difficult - bahahaha!)

Ok, time to go get things ready for the morning.  Hope you all have a kick ass week!
