What do you want to see happen from now to June 21st (first days of summer)?

I want to be below 135lbs

I want to work out 6 days/week (indoors and/or outdoors)

I want to be completely at ease in the Core plan (getting there fast so it
won't take that long).

More than anything though, I want to live and let live... things happen,
good things... bad things... I want to work hard to change what I can, and
accept what I can't change... Put the past behind me, and let the future
come on it's one time... all I can deal with is now...

Not very original, but words I've tried to live by for many years now...

I would like to remain at or below my goal weight (It will be a year
for me April 4)

I would like to walk 400 miles between today and that June 21.  I'm
getting 4 miles a day 3 to 4 days a week.

I would like to use weights on a more consistent basis.  I'm shooting
for 3 days a week (this is supposed to help my osteoporosis diagnosis
I was gifted with last October)

I would like to lose the 10 lbs I gained pre-op, plus another 5 - back on
WW.
I would like my 20 minute treadmill workout to be a warm up instead of the
workout (recovering from surg.)
I want to get back into lifting come April when I get the green light.

You'll get there, all you need at this point is patience...

I know... I'm not good at it either!!!

It's not my strong suit. :)
I keep hearing that I'll be feeling great soon enough. Mentally it isn't
easy to take it easy.  When I'm too tired to go upstairs for a treadmill
workout I feel like I'm slacking off (emotionally) though I know it's the
right thing to do (intellectually).

Just make sure you keep busy, there's nothing worst than sitting around
contemplating what you can't do.. drives me insane..

I think I will start posting my progress here.  Right now I'm trying
to get an idea of how many points I will need to maintain my weight
where it is at.  I added 2 points a day last week and still lost 2
pounds.

It's a add and remove until you find balance..

Thanks Willow.
I kinda thought that adding back was what I should do.  I just need to
figure out now how to factor in the exercise points into the equation.
I'm walking four days a week right now  (60 minutes each time).

Do you have a "quick" translation of steps to miles?  (I'm dismayed at
the number of steps I DON'T take in a day...)

it depends entirely on your stride length

Not really, although I have heard it is about 2,000 per mile.  When I
bought my pedometer at the WW meeting, the leader helped me calibrate
it, by measuring my stride when I walk.  I use the walk away the
pounds video and it averages about a mile every 15 minutes.   On top
of that I add any mall walking I may do.  One complete circuit of our
local mall is 1 mile.

I'd like to be below 150 by then. (5+lbs) The scale is moving very slowly as
I approach goal.

I'm consistantly doing water aerobics 3x a week. I'd like to add back in at
least one of the evening sessions. I generally don't drive after dark due to
mild night blindness. As the spring approaches and the time change it will
be light longer so I can add back one of those classes.

I purchased the ww walking kit and I'd like to do one routine at least 2x a
week.

I have a few professional goals that I'd like to accomplish too. Hopefully,
the computer & study time involved won't drive me to drink or eat.
Stormmee - 19 Jan 2007 20:43 GMT

- I'd like to lose 20 lbs.  (I've lost 35 in the past year, I'm hoping
for at least that in the next year, so half is 20 lbs.)
- I'd like to be consistent with four days of working out per week most
weeks.  (I've been hitting two consistently, I've added two now the past
two weeks...)
- I'd like to be continually upping my daily steps count until I hit
10000 steps per day.  (I don't care how fast I go up, I just want to
make sure next weeks average is 1 step more than this weeks average,
etc.)  I am currently targeting 6667 steps per day...

All of this while DH is super busy for the next eight weeks with his
last class for his MS in Computer Science, and not home three nights a
week, and I have to take care of the two boys (4 years and 21 months)
alone all day those days...which means sometimes I just grab something
quick to eat, and sometimes I make a proper meal so that THEY see me
eating properly...

I want to lose the last 35 pounds I need to lose.

I want to run and entire 5K instead of speed-walking most of it.

I want to be ready to swim again when the pool opens.  I have missed,
missed, missed swimming!

I want to be able to relax.  I'm not very good at that!
