Progress
Since I am a visual person, I’m tracking my progress with Tickers. They’re fun and provide a clear direction in pursuing my goals from beginning to end. Time is not as important as persistently moving toward a finish line.

VII. Current Exercise Routine
- Cardiovascular: Hal Higdon’s Half Marathon Novice Training
- Strength Training: A combination of mixed routines. My primary focus is to achieve a minimum of two days a week and strive for three. I currently mix up routines with body resistance moves, dumbbells, machines and stability ball. I’m pretty flexible based on being able to get a gym workout or from home.
- Flexibility: My goal is to complete at least 1 routine in Pilates or Yoga through a YMCA class or on a home DVD.
VIII. Nutritional Analysis
- Water Intake: Increasing. Still need to work on building a daily consistency.
- Multivitamin and Calcium Supplements: Not regularly taking on a daily basis.
- I’m tracking my intake on a Food Group basis rather than exact calorie expenditure. I’ve found that I’m more likely to keep this system up than trying to write everything down. I become to obsessive with all the numbers. My progress is a little slower, but I find myself making more of a mental commitment to watching the types of foods I am eating.
