A couple of months in and just over half way through my training program for the Cherry Blossom, I decided this is a good time to check in my resolutions for the new year. I'm going backwards:
6. I am no closer to going to the dentist, seeing that I am still unemployed and have no insurance.
5. I am writing more... probably not complaining less.
4. I am attempting to eat healthier. I have started counting my calories; I am more aware of how many carbs, proteins, and fats I consume. Steph, the doctor, told me the proper ratio for the three should be 50:25:25. I am normally high on carbs and fats, low on protein. This is not necessarily a surprise and harder to fix than I would like. I have eaten more vegetables and meat lately, and I am trying to enjoy it more.
3. No job=No money=No travels.
2. I'm about half way there (225 crunches; 20 push ups).
1. Perhaps this is my biggest disappointment. Perhaps I over reached, not realizing how slowly I would progress towards running at a decent speed. I will be able to finish the race in 120 minutes; I am hoping that it doesn't take me any longer than 115 minutes. I want to finish in 111 minutes or less.
and the BIG ONE...
I'll have to get back to you on that one.
When checking my own progress, it seems I had better get my act together.
