2012 Fitness Goals

Last year's fitness goals were all about running -- finishing my 1000 miles and trying my best to finish a faster marathon.  Well I met my mileage goals and finished the NYC marathon, although not at the pace I had hoped.

This year, I plan to cut back on my running.  I still find it one of the best workouts for me, but I won't miss the slog of getting in big chunks of mileage.  I hope to finish 5 half marathons - one in each borough of NYC.  And I also hope to do some other things.

It's been really cold the past couple of days, so I'm inside with the wii.  It is kind of a fun change of pace.

Tuesday
Breakfast: oatmeal w/sliced almonds, coffee w/milk
Lunch: leftover pasta, clementines, water
Dinner: chicken tenders, roasted fingerling potatoes, mixed veggies, water
Snack: chocolate

Tuesday's exercise: wii fit yoga
Year-to-date: 0 miles

Wednesday
Breakfast: 1/2 bagel w/butter, 2 clementines, 2 cups coffee w/half and half
Lunch: pb&j sandwich, yogurt, dried edamame
Snack: selzer and juice, cheezits
Dinner: pork medallions w/fruit chutney, rice, carrots w/ranch dip, fingerling limes, water

Wednesday's exercise: 30 minutes wii fit balance training
Year-to-date: 0 miles
