Every moment of my day, I am either being a wise woman building my house or I am being a foolish woman, tearing it down with my own hands. There is no in between. My desire is to be wise. To build my house, my family...but far to often I see that my attitude, my decisions, my selfishness displays my folly. I do not want to tear my house down...and certainly not with my own hands. What a danger there is in foolishness. This blog is to give me a place to share my journey from foolishness into wisdom, from house destroyer into house builder.

New Year, same goals

So, I've been at this working out thing for almost a month.  As of yesterday, I still am +2 lbs.  Everyone keeps telling me not to go by my weight, and  I understand that....except, I want to loose weight.  I feel like I have a pretty good routine in the fitness center at the Y.  I am doing a lot of strength training, so now I need to incorporate cardio.  My goal is to run at least 1 mile each day I am at the gym.  I'm a slow runner, but maybe I can work myself up. 

I went to kickboxing yesterday and my torso and arms are very sore.  OK, my legs are sore too.  The class was pretty good, except for the yoga at the end. I don't know why she did that...it's kickboxing.  If I wanted yoga I would go to the next class.  I think I'll try it again next week.

Last night, I watch portions of The Biggest Loser.  It is an inspiring show that is making a difference in people's lives.  Although I have ZERO motivation to ever run a marathon, or a half marathon...I would like to do a triathalon.  They showed some former BL contestant doing both.  I would like my husband to do it with me, but I think he thinks it would be boring or he doesn't need to train or work for it.  Maybe he'll sign up with me anyway. 

So far, I have not reached my December goal, so I guess I need to modify them.  My goal is to loose 5 lbs by the end of January (ok, now it's 7 because I gained 2).  Then, 5 more by the end of February, 5 more by the end of March, and the last 5 by the end of April.  If I can stop eating cookies...this may be accomplished.  Lots of hard work ahead for me.
