So I was convinced by people close to me that starting my new exercise/diet regime a few days before christmas was a really bad idea. Not because I ate poorly, because I didn't, but more because my exercise regime would be so interrupted. And, it was. So the plan is that I start on January 1. I'm going to head to the gym tomorrow and start eating properly tomorrow but there is a chance that i'll have a drink on NYE to celebrate so technically i'm not going to start till January 1.
I've been doing a little reading about goal setting and realistic expectations of a journey such as the one I am choosing to embark upon. I think its important for me to have short term and final goals. So here we go.
Short term goals are:
to be running 15 kilometers in 1 hour in 8 weeks time.
to minimise my alcohol intake. Its unrealistic of me to say that i'm never going to drink anything again but I think its realistic to say that I should only be drinking on special to very special occasions.
be running 4 times per week.
Long term goals:
Loose 5 kilo's all over
run a half marathon in two hours by April
maintain alcohol intake as short term goal
get a handle of these stupid food cravings which i've always had.
I've done my measurements and i'll post them in a new post! I'm excited. 2007 is going to be my year. I'm going to get control of my body back, i'm going to become a better aerobics instructor and i'm going to become an awesome runner again. Its my make over year :)
