My Favorite Quote- "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." -Harriet Beecher Stowe

I have recently lost a lot of weight and running is very new to me (I started running about 2 years ago). I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.

My new weight goal is to have lost 100 pounds. I am quite sure I can get to about 93, but I am not sure about the 100. The weight tracker is tracking my total weight loss.

Total Distance

3.50

Goals for the week-

#1 Eat good stuff!!! (good FOR me, that is :)

#2 25 miles this week. That's all! Must stick to the plan! (last week I went over plan by 3.5- this overzealousness is what injurs me)

#3 Yoga class 2 x's. Mini yoga sessions everyday.

#4 Run by 6 am every day. 5:30 am on Saturday. (even if Kim R cries)

#5 Run faster than I want to on shorter runs.

#6 Take water- I panic if I even get a little thirsty.

I took a nice 3.5 mile walk with hubby this evening. It was really nice out and we found a little path up Payson Canyon to explore. We will be sure to bring the kids up there. It would be great to see where it ends up.

Great goals! I like that you put it out there for the world to see! I think I might have to steal your idea. Good luck on reaching your goals!! I have to brag and say I had a great "food weekend", if I can keep it up this week I should have a decent weigh in on Sat. Your #5 goal is tough, but I did tht this morning, it helps having faster people to run with!!!

Yeah- gotta have goals and this way ya'll can see if I am fudging, keep me honest! I am such a liar and a cheet ;)
