Operation Sexy Mama 11/22/2010: Fitness Goals
Fitness Goals for Now and into 2011 (God willing!)
- Get my new prosthesis before the new year. - Got it, love it, working on getting strong and coordinated so I can do some things.
- Start weight training consistently. - started working out with handweights just last week. My friend Toya is buying a pair of MMA weight gloves, I'm very excited.
- Start exercise consistently. Get off the couch and get active. - It has begun!!! I am so proud of myself. I do Zumba, I go dancing, I go walking with the boys, I went on the swings with Lo...IT'S HAPPENING!
- Dance more! - dance at home, dance with kids, dance at church and go out dancing. Also happening, I went out dancing with Corina twice, I do Zumba with Toya, I dance whenever I can pry myself up. More to come.
- Weight 135 by March 2011 - evaluate and decide if I want to go for 125. Okay, this changed. We are looking at a goal of 140 by May 1 or June 1 at the latest. I want to be strong too though. So I will evaluate more heavily on look and clothing fit then I will weight. I want to wear a bikini and show my belly without shame.
- Walk a 10K by next summer. Keeping this goal. This will happen. 2012 better get ready.
- Make walks part of my weekly routine and build endurance.
- Do fitness and charity walks throughout the Fall of 2011. Keeping this one.
- Learn how to run again in 2011, since I became and amputee at age 17, I have never really done it consistently. Not as vested in this one as I once was but it would be good to have a burst of speed in case of emergencies. It would also be great to have a burst of prayer and some MMA, in case of emergencies but that is probably another blog post.
- Run a 5K before winter 2011? Sounds painful but I'd like to try. Again, maybe not running but I'll get this done.
- 125-135, muscular and athletic by October 27, 2011. Yes, this will happen. New goal is 140 with prosthesis which will put me at 132 or so without it. But again, fitness, strength, clothing fit, athleticism and muscle tone (rippednesssss!!!) are more important to me.
- Maintain this weight into 2012 Yes. Maintain the weight and muscle tone so I will be ready to have another baby, adopt, do more fitness goals and have an awesome life with my boys and my man. Ministry as a fit girl could get wild and fun. I hope they're ready, whoever they are. I hope I'm ready! I'm sure I'm not but I'll get there.
Other goals:
- I am beginning the process of launching my crochet biz. Building my facebook page for deiejdesigns and picking a design for my business cards and other items for craft fairs and online sales this summer.
- I am working on organizing, goal setting and changing my mindset.
- I've found a place that nurtures me and will support me spiritually while I'm in school.
- I have begun a to do list.
- I have a plan for combatting anxiety over difficult work.
- I have friends who are giving me wise counsel and sharing their expertise.
- I am blogging!!! I'm blogging! Do you see this. That is huge for me.
So basically, a lot is going on and I'm going to keep working and growing and devoting my life to God and my family and living as happily and healthfully as I can.
Thank you, Lord for the chance to do this. Please provide for us and lead us and if we get off track, steer us back on course. We love you!!! Amen.
Had to pray. Super happy. Super Tired. Some things are bittersweet right now but I'm also super thankful.
