I am not bothering with a New Years resolution, yes I know its mid-November and we still have a month and a half left. But I am ending 2011 and starting 2012 with a drastic change in my life. I know the Lap Band is not a miracle surgery. Its just a big push in the right direction. My life will be changing. I know this.
I have tried to figure out what exercise plan I should follow. Even though I never really cared for running (there's a shock....) But I need to have a goal beyond focusing on weigh loss.
I have decided to do a 5K a month in 2012.
Now I know its sounds bit crazy. But I think I can do it. The first couple I may not run but walk, but by Dec 2012 I hope to have worked up to being willing to do a few 10K.
I mentioned this to my younger daughter and she just may be one of my running partners. I will be looking at 5ks in VA, DC and MD so I shouldn't have a problem filling up the calender. I am looking into the "Couch to 5K" plan and will start the first few weeks prior to my surgery and granted I may have to start the program all over again a few weeks after my surgery.
Walking a 5K by the end of January should be very feasible. After all that will be a month and a half after my surgery and its walking not running.
