Goals Accomplished!! Ready to set NEW ones!!

Goals for 1st couple of months = doing an extra 30 minutes of cardio outside of team workouts 3X/week AND pushing it harder in team workouts :)

Rewards = 1) new pair of running shoes ------> CHECK!! Bought Newton's about 6 weeks ago and have been using them for every work out... LOVE THEM
2) Hair cut at Lava Salon ------> CHECK!! Well, will be checked off later this morning! I was waiting until I could tell a difference in the weight loss - but I can't - not in my face... but everyone else can and so I've decided to reward myself anyway - regardless of what my mind is telling me!

As soon as gmail/blgger dashboard starts cooperating, I will change the next goals/rewards:

Goals for next 3 months (so through end of June):
1) lose 2 lbs per week for a total of (26 pounds) (My body proves to be unreliable in the poundage lost - I can work my heart out and only lose 1.4 pounds... so I will be happy with healthy weight loss over the next 13 weeks - and if it's 13 pounds, that's fine  so 13 - 26 pounds is the new-ish goal)

2) Train for and run (no walking!) a 5K - my next 5K is June 22nd - so this is a doable goal!! (Which is the point, right?)  Originally my 2-6 month goal was to train for and run a 10K, but I'm not there yet and that's okay! I ran a "color run" on March 23rd and was able to run ~ 1.5 miles without stopping... so training for this is going to be great!

Rewards for next 3 months:
1) Get a heart-rate monitor! The beauty of this is that it will help me with my 2nd goal! I'm all about monitoring and pacing myself out there to get the most of my runs!!

2) Get a massage!! There was some talk that blood thinners = no good for massages... Doc says that though I may look colorful with bruises, that it's fine for me to get them! So bring it!! And I may need it after running a 5K all the way through!
