Too Busy for TWO Blogs:)

So.....Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

I have not stopped this journey....just realized that I do not have the time to blog once for my "regular" life and once for my "fitness" life and thus I am linking from here to my other.  I suppose this means that a few people I know in real life may see my BEFORE pictures and think OMG that is disgusting, but whatevs, I don't have time to care about what everyone else thinks.  I'm working hard to correct it so they can kiss my big ole....fat roll, but they better do it quick cause it's disappearing:)

My goals for 2011 carry into 2012 and are three part.  They are still a bit ambiguous on my "regular" blog, but I'll give you a little sneak peek since if you read this you are on the journey too.
1-Lose 25lbs by March 1st, 2011 (already down 10 from my start weight!) 
                               I have joined a gym and am working out five days a week and somewhat counting calories to keep them under 1800 a day.  Only water, tea, or coffee to drink, but other than that no diet restrictions just being mindful and moderate.

2-March 1st begin training for 5k in May 2011 (do a few 5ks through the summer)
                         I don't have a specific plan yet, but I'm thinking the couch to 5k program looks like it would be do-able.  In fact I really want to do it now, but I think losing the 25lbs first would be best for my joints.

3-August 1st begin training for half marathon in January 2012
                         Specifically the Disney half marathon.  It will be a reward for all my hard work to enjoy a wonderful family vacation while I cross this huge(at least to me) goal off the "done" list.  Again the specifics of training will be nailed down further down the road.

So that's the plan.  I want to incorporate the community that is found here with the "health/fitness/weight loss" blogs into my normal blog because I just can NOT do it all. 

I hope you will follow me on my journey there and look forward to the accountability and camaraderie, that seemed to be starting in November, in the future.
