My goals for March:

Continue running training.  Not met.

I haven’t gotten back into my routine. Worse, I’ve totally dropped out of it. I have continued to stretch and I have continued to walk rbut not as consistently or for as long as I was. I’ve felt challenged by the weather (cold and dark and uninspiring), challenged by the new gym situation (no lockers available so I have to carry a big heavy bag around with me all day), parking closer to the gym (much more than far from the gym, but when I work out every minute counts in order to get to work on time), and my own demons. I’ve quit All Star gym (effective the end of April) and am joining the Kenmore Fitness Center full time (effective the beginning of May). I’m convinced that this will be a much better, more convenient way to go.     

Stretched for 10 hours 32 minutes     

Walked for 8 hours (wow!)

Ran for 2 hours 45 minutes   

I exercised for a total of 21 hours 17 minutes averaging 41 minutes a day! 

I walked 20.54 miles and I ran 13.52 miles.  

Track what I eat.  Done!

I skipped about 10 days in March so 1/3 of the time I did not track. I am learning to use it more of a tool than just a to-do list. Trying to make sure I eat less than I burn. It is giving me some guidance to that end and more awareness.  

Lose two pounds. Not met.

Didn’t weigh myself today to verify but my weight gain has stopped. I’m hovering around 180. Now I can begin climbing down from that number.

Again I’m grateful that I did better than I thought. I’m grateful that I’m healthy. I’m grateful that I am clear about what I want. And I am beginning to feel closer to pursuing it. Getting my head on straight. And I’m grateful that I’m still here, blogging and working it out.
