Lets be honest here... I'm fat, out of shape, and not as studly as I once was. Plus, my wife can kick my butt in running and endurance. A month ago she ran the Snow Canyon Half Marathon in under 2 hours, with an average pace of 8 minutes a mile. I can't even run one mile in 8 minutes, let alone 13 miles.
So, it's time to get in shape. And 2012 is the year I plan on doing this. My over all goal is to get in shape, and to be healthier. I don't plan on running a marathon in 2012, but I do want to be able to run long distances without stopping. So lets make a goal. By the end of 2012 I want to be able to run 20 miles without stopping. Keep in mind, I can barely run one mile without getting short of breath. So I think 20 miles is a perfect goal to start with.
Starting Weight: 185
The other part about getting fit is eating right. My current diet includes McDonald's, Carl's Jr, Cafe Rio, soda pop, candy, etc. I eat healthy stuff too, but not enough. So in 2012, no more fast food, no more soda, no more junk food. My goal is to have 95% of my diet consist of fruits, vegetables, protein shakes, oatmeal, chicken, fish, water and juice. Wish me luck. This is going to be hard, since most of my time is spent driving around, with fast food all around me, tempting me to come in. I guess I will be one of those guys who packs a lunch in a cooler.
This blog will be a journal of my fitness journey in 2012. I will try my best to keep track of what I ate, and what I did for exercise, on either a daily or weekly basis. (it depends on how grumpy and tired I am to post an update).
Wish Me Luck!!
