Jumping on the Bandwagon

Come on, everyone's doing it!

Miles Run in 2008: 99.4
Miles Biked in 2008: 297.43
Miles Swam in 2008: 6.67

Total Number of Workouts since May 21st: 161

Notes: I know, I KNOW... I missed the running mark by .6 miles. How pathetic is that? However, when I was looking back through my training log, I noticed that for the first month of my training, I didn't keep mileage... just times. So, in the grand scheme, I'm sure I ended up running more than 100 miles.

Phase 3 of my Weight Loss Challenge covers the month of January. It's the final month (25 days) to reach my goal of 149 lbs.

For January, I will:
- Not eat meals standing up or sitting on my couch. I'm much more aware of what goes into my mouth when I'm sitting at my dining table.
- Workout 4 times a week.
- Cut my calories to 1700 per day.
- Not eat snacks straight out of the bag/box.

I have lost 11 lbs since November 2nd, and I have only 4 more to go.

Now that all those formalities are out of the way, we can get onto the big one...

Goals for 2009:
- Get my 5K time below 27 minutes (my current PR is 29:04).
- Get my Sprint Triathlon time below 1:35 (my current PR is 1:44).
- Weigh less at the end of the year than I do at the beginning.
- Run more than 170 miles.

I hope everyone has a great New Years Eve. I have to work (of course), but I'm ready to go out afterwards (I'm even wearing a dress!).
