I realized my goals probably weren’t specific enough so I revised them a little.

Lose 1 lbs a month, so I’m down to 164 by June 10th.  According to Lose It, I can eat 1640 calories a day and still lose a pound. And that’s not with the calorie deficit I’ll create with exercise.  Before, trying to lose 1-1/2 pounds, I could only eat 1370.  It just didn’t feel like it enough food and I always was going over.  I feel like 1640 gives me a little breathing room and it feels doable.

Incorporate swimming into workout routine - go twice during the month of January (I need to buy a swimsuit first, and that might take a bit to find one—the ladies know what I’m talking about here.) After January, go swimming once a week.

Start doing track workouts in March—my running club has track workouts every week, and although going scares the crap out of me, I’m going to try them. I’m saying March because trying to not take on too much at once and want to work on the swimming first.

Strengthen core—especially lower abs—Do core strengthening exercises 3 times a week.  Some on the BOSU ball and some on the TRX.
