Summer 2.0

Welcome to my second summer as the new me. This time last year I was around 162. Unfortunately, I do not have much to show for a year. I'm around 158-160 or so right now. I was down to 145 at some point, but nevertheless, it fluctuates. I can say that I am proud to not have gained it all back in one year. I am still at a "healthy weight", although it is not the weight I would like to have. Also new is my desire to do weight lifting as well as cardio. I've joined the YMCA in my area and have been orientated to the crazy looking machines that they have. Some of them look like something out of Star Wars! However, I think its going well...in the one week that I've used the machines. I'm also hoping to train to run a half-marathon in November. I'm hoping to run the Philadelphia marathon. Fingers crossed!!!!

My goal for the coming summer is to lose 30 pounds. If I work hard, I think I can do it. With this new Y membership, I have the best tools available and I will not take it for granted. I plan on running, doing more cardio, weights, swimming, and participating in classes. Bring it on!! I'm also working a full-time job. I WILL DO THIS! I have about 17 weeks until the next semester begins. That's a little under 2lbs per week. If I eat right, and am committed to myself, I know that I can do this. BRING IT ON.
