Hi everyone,
I just started reading the WISH boards and they are great! My fitness goal this year is to train for the 1/2 marathon in Disney World 2010. I'm 29 years old, married, and the proud mom of a 3 month old baby girl. I love going to Disney and got this great idea to run the 1/2 marathon while I was pregnant so it was very easy to "talk big" without having to train Now that my daughter is here there's no more excuses!
I have to convince my husband that the race isn't just an excuse to visit Disney... well, it is sort of, but it's also an excuse for me to get into shape after having a baby. I gained over 40lbs during my pregnancy and while I wasn't overweight before having the baby I'm still a good 10-15lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight. The ironic thing is when I started gaining weight I was most affected by reaching 150 lbs and now I'm stuck on 150 My goal weight is between 135-140 and, more importantly, fit back into my clothes!
I started a fitness blog - http://couchtodisney.blogspot.com/ and so far I posted my first workout. I'm doing the couch to 5k program first and then working my way up from that. I tried running for a few days without really easing into it and became very sore. I think my body is still adjusting to the extra weight I carried while pregnant. I'm trying to watch what I eat but since I'm nursing I can't really diet. I actually don't have a lot of time to eat between work (I teach high school) and taking care of the baby so it's not a huge concern to me at the moment. We don't eat fast food and I usually take Lean Cuisines or WW meals to school for lunch. I do like an occasional glass of wine after the baby is in bed but only on the weekends! Hey, it's good for my heart, right?
I'm looking forward to reading everyone's journals and hope to see some of you at the 1/2 marathon in 2010!
