Run Talk

My mom came over yesterday which allowed me to go for a quick 20 min run!

I did 2 min running and 1 min walking for 7 intervals. Ran/walk for 2.6km, an avg of just over 8 min/km. Obviously not the best time but I'm only tracking it for the mileage so I'm not worried.

3rd run since Nolan was born and while they are tough it feels so great to be out there.

The Plan

To accomplish my Health and Fitness goals for the year I'm planning on taking it real slow. Each week I'm going to introduce something new either with eating or with exercise. If I have trouble with it I'll repeat it. To me this is a marathon not a sprint and with the addition of Nolan I don't want to stress myself over it! So for the month of January here is the plan:

Week 1: 3 cardio sessions, ideally running

Week 2: Track what I eat

Week 3: 3 10 minute mommy and baby strength training sessions

Week 4: Count points/calories whatever for Mon to Friday eats

Last week I ran twice and it felt so amazingly awesome. I need some runners, need to build up some more leg muscle and need to increase my endurance (ran 2 minutes at a time) but otherwise I felt great!

Going Forward

My goals for 2012 set out as ABC goals.

Weight:

A) In the 160s for the half marathon, be 155 for Nolan's first birthday

B) 160s for Nolan's first birthday

C) 150's by 2013

Job:

A)Get permanent job in Health or Education (OMERS job)

B) Get permanent job anywhere or contract in Health or Education

C) Get contract anywhere

Fitness - things I'd like to do this year, pending life!

Life

1. Be a great mom to little Nolan.

2. Conquer the 20 minute cleaning!

Looking Back

Looking back at the goals I made for last year - definitely changed due to having a baby!

Life:
1. Secure permanent employment - no but did secure my job with the Halton Catholic School Board which was where I wanted a job. Hopefully it leads to a perm job there!
2. Prepare for family - yep and then had a baby!
3. Go to Italy - no, went to Hawaii and New York City instead
4. Purchase rental property - decided against it.
5. Become more organized (in terms of cleaning!) - got somewhat better.

Fitness - none of these things happened due to getting pregnant in Feb.
1. Run a 10 mile race
2. Complete 2nd Triathlon (pending familial situation)
3. Bike Ride 100km

Health:
1. Back to Healthy Weight - Gained 40lbs with pregnancy
2. Make the switch to sustainable and natural meat choices - did this for Beef and are still sourcing out chicken.

Really I had 1 goal for 2011 and that was to get pregnant. So that was accomplished!
