Week 1: 09.12.12-09.18.12

I am on a 12 week journey to jump start my weight loss and lose 12 pesky pounds. This journey is also to help me:
1) improve my running pace;
2) feel better about myself;
3) find inner peace when in turbulent waters; and
4) make my heart and soul healthy (among other things....)

So, goals for the week:

1) Stick to nutrition plan 90% of the time;
2) Drink 2L water/day;
3) Run at least 3 days/week, and walk at least 2 days/week;
4) Run a 2 miler (9/17)
5) Eat at least 2 fruits and 3 veggies/day

Here is where I am with my results (granted, I still have another day - after today for week 1):
1) Ummm...not so much in the 90% range. So, I'm going to break it down by day:
Wednesday - achieved!
Thursday - achieved!
Friday - 60%
Saturday - 20%
Sunday - 20%
Monday - achieved!
Tuesday - achieved!

2) Wednesday - achieved!
Thursday - achieved!
Friday - achieved!
Saturday - missed
Sunday - missed
Monday - achieved!
Tuesday - achieved!

3)Wednesday - ran 25 minutes with 5 minute warm up/5 min cool down
Thursday - walked 60 minutes
Friday - ran 20 minutes with 5 min warm up and 5 min cool down
Saturday - off
Sunday - off
Monday - ran 2 miles!

4) ACHIEVED! AND, I am pretty proud of my time:
mile 1 - 12:51
mile 2 - 13:47

I pushed it REALLY hard on mile 1...and then paid for it on mile 2...I had to slow WAY down. BUT, at least I know what I can strive for. Hoping that my 2 miler on Wednesday has similar results. :)

5)Wednesday - achieved!
Thursday - achieved!
Friday - achieved!
Saturday - 1 fruit; 1 veggie;
Sunday - no fruits/veggies
Monday - achieved!
Tuesday - achieved!

TOTAL WEIGHT LOST: 1 lb.

I'm going to post my "before" photos later this evening...just had to post these results to basically show myself all I have accomplished and where I can improve. :)
