Check in on my new goals...

First of all, I want to say WELCOME TO THE BLOG girls!!! I've had my fair share of friends on this blog, but it's been kind of a come and go thing, so it's nice to have some new people!

I thought I would check in on how my new goals are going. (That I posted about a few posts back.)
But before I do, I just want to say how NICE it's been not to focus so much on weight and food, but more on fitness. I feel like when I set goals like this, I can achieve them if I put in enough work. Whereas if I make weight goals, no matter how much I work, it doesn't always work! So, I'm happy doing this for now.


Okay, here goes my update....


First, I did my 2 minute plank! CHECK! It was harder than it sounded.

I also swam a mile in 39 minutes, which was actually better than I expected I would do. I'm not the swimming type. Seriously, I can't even go under water without plugging my nose, so I look like a dork swimming because I have to use the nose plug things and I'm sure people (aka lifeguards at the aquatic center) are secretly laughing at me when I'm not looking. Oh well. I'm trying.

I'm up to 25 boy push-ups  (my goal was 30 without stopping) and you think, really....how hard could it be to just do five more? Well, let me tell you, I thought the same thing, and then I fell on my face at 25.  I'll keep at it though. I might be able to pull this one off soon, if I try at the beginning of my workout, instead of at the end.

I still can't do the splits.

It's been cold so I haven't really ran much this year yet, but plan to more since it's finally warming up. I'm going to work on my 9 minute mile first, and then start training to do 6 miles. This morning I ran a 2 mile MS run with my first grader (who kicked my butt!) but I did 2 miles in 19 minutes, so I think if I tried it, I probably could do a 9 minute mile. I'll give it a shot this upcoming week.

I still fall over at about 2-2 1/2 minutes of my wall-sits.

And I'm nowhere NEAR close to doing a pull-up, but I feel like my arms are getting stronger so I'll keep at that one too.

I still have lots of work to do on these goals, but it's nice to check off a few!!! How are you all doing with your goals???
