Getting back into it

I have successfully completed a week of eating right and exercising more. This has led to a net loss of 3.0 lbs exactly. So now I am 9.2 lbs from my pre-preggo weight with another 15-20 lbs to lose as a secondary goal to get down to the bottom of my weight range, as the next time I decide to get pregnant (which won't be anytime in the very near future) I want to start it at the bottom of my healthy weight range rather than the top. The first pregnancy has taught me what not to do, and while it was fun, I am not going to eat to excess and gain 50 lbs again with the next one.

Things I am committed to doing:

1. Core workout 3-4x week to get the core back in shape. It is a sad state of affairs.

2. Run 2-3 miles 3x week with the goal of increasing mileage as my ligament issues subside (a leftover bit of fun from the pregnancy). I would like to get back to my winter running mileage of 15 miles/week with the goal of a half marathon in the spring. That half marathon will be the WI half marathon that I had to waive last spring due to my ligament issues at 5 mo preggo.

3. Continue to follow Weight Watchers points. I am very close to getting within my goal range of weight again, which means I can attend meetings for free (I am a lifetime member). Future goal is to attend bimonthly meetings so I can be accountable for my weight. I need accountability. I don't think I have time with the new babe to do a weekly meeting, especially when I go back to work in Feb.

Things I want to do(goal is to add them in the next month before Txgiving):

1. Add one swim workout per week.

2. Get on a trainer with my bike--2x week. I have a crappy kind of trainer, but I think I can make it work this winter. I'm sad because I have this new bike that I haven't rode since I was preggo and then post-partum recovery from the C-section didn't allow me on it either. Since then its gotten really cold.

3. Re-start Crossfit. This will help me get my arms back into shape. They are not pretty and I need to put my money where my mouth is because I always make fun of teacher arms.

2010 Goals:
1. Spring half marathon
2. Spring sprint triathlon
3. Late summer olympic distance triathlon
4. Fall marathon or half marathon (depending on free time--taking baby into consideration)

Weeks start on Sunday and end on Saturday. So far this week:
Sunday: 3.1 mi run in 37:25
Monday: Core workout (45 min)
Tuesday: 3.1 mi run in 36:18 + core workout (45 min)
