February Goals and weekly plan

(transferred from my Sparkpeople blog)


February Goals:
45 miles running, be up to a five mile run by the end of the month.
2000 fitness minutes
lose 10 lbs
No soda! (only had 3 in Jan, but when I have one it really throws me right off course)
Track Food

In March I have my 2nd degree black belt testing coming up and in April I am running my first half marathon so it is most definitely time to get focused and buckle down and make the changes that need to be made. No excuses this month! I need to come up with a better plan for strength training also, the one I am using now is all over the place. I would like to start incorporating the equipment at the gym but haven't quite figured it all out yet. If anyone knows of any websites that have good plans on them I would love to know. I have checked out the plans on sparkpeople and they are not quite what I am looking for.
In January I managed to get in over 2200 fitness minutes and I really watched what I ate and only managed to lose 3 lbs and 1 inch from the waist :( So I think in February I am going to have to get a lot stricter about what I am eating. Time to start watching the carbs and I'm thinking I might give up anything with gluten in for a couple weeks and see what happens. I have been sticking strictly to good carbs but I have a feeling that is not enough. So long to my beloved carbs
