August 2011 Goals

But, as always, let’s see how I did in July….

July 2011 Goals

  1. Lose 3-4 lbs – Seriously. I mean it. – FAIL. And honestly, at this point, I give up. I’m 2 months away from my marathon and I’m freaking hungry all the time. I have lost inches, but not weight, and will revisit after the marathon.
  2. Finish guest room fancifying – Ditto. – FAIL. BUT – I have a deadline! We will have guests in mid-September, so I need to get ‘er done by then.
  3. Make more Parmesan – SUCCESS! I have made the Parmesan, and in approximately a year, we’ll know how that turned out!
  4. Finish the month confident in my ability to do my new job.  – SUCCESS! I am definitely feeling a lot more confident with my job. There are still things I’m learning, but I’m getting there!
  5. Get bathroom cost estimate completed, find a plumber, and get the bathroom remodel started – half SUCCESS! We are getting there, things are in process (we want this to be done by the time our guests arrive in September, too).
  6. Do PT exercises every non-running day! Starting today, obviously. – half SUCCESS! I did my PT exercises a lot, but not every day. However, I did graduate from PT and my physical therapist actually told me that I look graceful when I run. suck it! (I’m not sure who that’s directed towards, but it felt necessary.)

July 31 day challenge

I am going to go back to the “picture a day” challenge. I like that one.  Also, less time consuming than some others I have on my list. :)   Keep an eye on the sidebar for the updates!

I did pretty good with this, not every day, but most days! Go, me!

July Training Goals

  1. Weights/Yoga/Swim/Bike – 16x this month– FAIL! Again, only 10 times this month. I always do 10.
  2. Run 80 miles  – FAIL! I ran 67.35  miles this month, which was still 22 more than last month, so  not a real fail at all!
  3. Lift weights at least three times – FAIL!  I lifted weights approximately zero times. No excuses except that I really don’t like to lift, so that’s always the workout that gets skipped.
  4. 25 hours of exercise – minimum! It should be waaay more than this. :) – SUCCESS! I worked out 29 hours (and 5 minutes) in July, not counting any yard work. This makes me so happy.
  5. Hit all planned long runs – until marathon training is over! – half SUCCESS! I missed one run (which is why I didn’t hit that 80 mile goal), but I did everything else! Yay!
