March 2012 Wrap Up

Weight Watch: +2.6 pounds
I am at a bit of a loss right now.  I did much better this month, but I'm not seeing any positive results.  I guess I'm going to have to revamp things again.  Time to start looking at different options again to see what might fit in to my life and wants.

Mileage Watch:
Run/Walk: 80.72 miles
Bike: 40.0 miles
Elliptical: 2.13 miles
Total Miles: 122.85 miles

Goal Review
I did not end up meeting the goals that I set for myself at the beginning of the year. I didn't run/walk 100+ miles and I didn't get a 20+ mile run in, but I did increase my mileage and I've been better at adding in ab work and Pilates. So, I could beat myself up or remember just how much more I did this month than last month. I need to remember that I have to rebuild from the first two months and that everything isn't going to just magically feel wonderful because I want it to. I know I have to put in the hard work to get where I want to go.

April 2012
I do feel better that I'm working on things that I had neglected or was unable to do the first two months of the year.  I am back to doing my incline workouts, Pilates and ab work.  I've started upping the incline on the treadmill on all walks - the goal here is to make walking at 2% incline comfortable as that more closely resembles being outside.  I am also going to stop being afraid to run and get back to intervals or some form of actual running instead of just walking and fast walking. 

I feel like I have to reboot on the food front again.  The method I'm using is doing nothing but making me frustrated.  I tend to be hungry more often than not - some of this is due to the increase in activity, but I think it may have to do with the quality or lack of quality in the food I'm choosing.  I will be doing some research in to other methods so I can see if something else would fit my life better.

It's so hard to believe that it's April already.  Things started looking up in March and I certainly hope to continue that trend in April.
