2013... Keeping the pace... Day #6

So, after not being active for the past few days, we went out to the track at American River College and did some laps. I decided to jog at a nice comfortable pace instead of running hard and taking walking breaks half way through. I managed to jog about 4 laps (which I believe is about 1 1/3 miles) non stop and walked 2 laps. I was actually surprised myself by how long I was able to keep up a good pace without breaking. After we did our work on the track, we did a combination of squats, pushups, walking lunges, and dips.

I hope we can keep this up. Maybe one day I can actually keep a good enought pace and do a 5k.

2013... The year of the Man Ram... Day #1

Today is day #1 of 2013. And I hate making goals or resolutions... Mostly because I am bad at keeping promises or actually following through with them. I find myself to be more of an impulse person and just do what I feel like instead of making plans.

Perhaps if I set myself some mini goals, that might help me out?! Maybe I will write out a list of things that I want to accomplish in the new year or the things that I would like to get a jump on in the year. Here is my list in no particular order (but graduating is my top priority):

• Graduate from Sac State.
• Get a job.
• Weigh at least 180 then proceed to 160 or lower.
• Kick ass at CrossFit.
• Train my new puppy, Chorizo.
• Get my passport.
• Get rid of the excess crap that I own.
• Start a retirement account.
• Be a better girlfriend to Paul.

I am looking forward to what adventures 2013 will have for me. This will be my last year as a 20something. On Friday, December 13th I will turn the big 3-0. While I am not looking forward to it, knowing that I have a wonderful partner in Paul who supports me with all my crazy shenanigans makes it easier to deal with! I will try my hardest to keep this blog updated with my fitness and eating progress and I will have a 2013 before picture taken sometime soon.

Weight: 195
Goal #1: 180
