I can’t sufficiently express my gratitude for the day that Nikki and I looked at each other and committed to make a change in our lifestyles and to support each other through our weight loss and fitness journey. It worked! We are both down about 20lbs and feeling great! We chatted the other day and realized that it is time to get serious again. Like Nikki mentioned we have new goals as well as some exciting life events that have happened and that soon will happen that we would love to share with everyone. Stay tuned for more exciting updates to come!

Altogether I have lost 21lbs and 19 inches over my body! No wonder when my husband hugs me he tells me I’m little now (oh yeah…I got married! I’ll tell you more about that later). So I have a solid base to start from. I feel faster, not so much stronger, so I will have to work on that. I can run a lot longer than ever before and I like my body.
My goals:
1) Hit 135lbs by March 27th, 2013.
2) Run 12km/week every week
3) Complete the 10 km skate as part of a team triathlon at the Silver Skate Festival on February 17th.
4) Incorporate weight training into my workouts at least 2x/week
5) Swim 20 laps at least 1x/week
6) I like Nikki’s Goal of 20 pushups…I think this will be the hardest goal for me to accomplish but wouldn’t it be bad ass if Nikki and I were the cute girls in the gym that could do 20 pushups in a row? Yup pretty bad ass indeed!
