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!

Update

Hey everyone! So sorry for my lack of posting. Thanks so much for your lovely comments about my nose piercing - I love it and it is healing extremely well!!

All I have been doing these last couple of weeks is work, gym, shopping, sleep! It has been hectic but I am enjoying my training and feel so much better for it! It's truly amazing how eating right and exercising hard makes you feel so much better about yourself. In the last week I have lost just under 6 pounds and I feel my work trousers are looser and my stomach is getting smaller! Yay!!

My diet is a bit boring but I am eating foods I like (even if they are a bit repetitive!) and doing such intense workouts with my trainer - she is awesome - pushes me to my absolute limit and I keep going even though I want to quit! I know I would have quit if I were doing it on my own. Today was really tough - treadmill at 15% incline and walking fast - and cross trainer on a mountain setting! :-D Then circuits using only a 10kg barbell - that was killer! And then some running on the treadmill to cool down!!

I did my 2nd spin class last night and that really is B R U T A L!! I really can't keep up with the rest of the class but I will just push myself to what I can do and I know I'll get fitter!

So that really is all that's been going on! I'm going to walk Molly and then watched some Charmed and then bed! Hope everyone is having a great start to the week!!

Oh and Karla, if you're reading this, CONGRATS to you!!! ;-)
