So thanksgiving weekend 2012 is officially in the books. I don't feel as if I ate all that horribly. However, I did indulge in the pumpkin roll.....and I ate the leftovers for breakfast on Friday, Saturday AND Sunday. Luckily for me the pumpkin roll is no longer there, so it is no longer tempting me by calling my name in that sticky sweet voice that gets to me every time! My weight is up. I accept it...but I'm not ok with it. I need to get myself in line. No ifs ands or buts. Other than the pumpkin roll, I ate relatively reasonably. But relatively reasonably is NOT good enough. I need to be doing GOOD...I need to be on target. Relatively reasonably is OK if I'm trying to maintain.
So I started tracking today and I'm here.
Thanksgiving 2012 had me doing something that I have had on my bucket list. I participated in a 5K on Thanksgiving morning. I didn't set any records. I had not trained ANY....so I walked and had spurts of jogging. But I did it. I did not come in last for my age division which was my goal. SO I am pleased.
1203 67/92 Terri Houser F 52 46:35 44:52 14:29
1204 156/176 Paula Crammer F 36 46:34 44:53 14:29
1205 157/176 Maryfran Stotler F 39 46:35 44:53 14:29
The first number is where I came in, the second set of numbers I didn't come in last in my division...which was my goal. Obviously my name, sex and age...then the 46.34 was my gun time....and the 44:53 was my chip time. The 14:29 was my pace. Pitiful. But now i have something to work against. Paula and I are aiming to do the st. patricks day run. And we are aiming to train and really whittle down our time!
I want to reinvent my life on a few different levels...and on the health level, I want to be FIT and active!
