Well, I guess it is time to recap the 2010 year and see how I did compared to the goals I set last year about this time. Do you want the good news first, or the bad news first? The bad news? Okay, but it is pretty bad. I did not lose any weight. In fact, it was worse than that - I gained 5 pounds. Not the result I was hoping for when I made my 2010 resolutions. The bright side is that if I hadn't done as well on the exercise goals, it could have been much uglier!
On the exercise front the results were somewhat mixed but at least positive overall. I biked 1231 miles out of a goal of 1200 miles. I walked or ran or "wogged" 140 miles out of a goal of 250 miles on my feet. I also swam 5.1 miles, logged 8 hours on the elliptical machine and went to BodyPump (group lifting class set to music) 9 times (starting in late November). Those also "count" as miles on my feet but are not so easy to convert. I think I came close to my miles on my feet goal but probably came up a bit shy.
My high point in exercise goals was the 5K that I completed with my sister on May 8th. I still can't believe I ran the whole thing, especially since the training was not as smooth as I hoped. Our overall time was 38.23 minutes. I was very happy with that because the start was crowded and we did a lot of maneuvering, and there was no walking. As far as the abs, they are still hiding although with the start of BodyPump I am beginning to sense that they are in there somewhere screaming when I try to do crunches.
So, there you have the 2010 wrap-up. Now it is time to learn from the past and move forward! Welcome 2011!
