184 days and counting...

Well, here's my first real post.  I tried to do this earlier, but I was having some blog-issues.
So today was not the best of days on my journey.  My sleep took over, then I had so much to do before my friends come visit that I didn't get to really work out.  This is a BIG bummer! AND I went grocery shopping while hungry, also a big no no!  I did accomplish buying some wonderful fresh, low fat, low cal ingredients for a chicken dish I'll be making, as well as lots of goodies for a salad!  My new favorite dressing is Ken's Rasberry Walnut vinaigrette dressing from "Healthy Options", made with EVOO!!!   Only 3.5 grams of fat and 60 calories per 2 tbsp serving. AND it's so flavorful that I never go over the serving size, and sometimes, depending on salad size, I only use half that! YUM!

In other news I should talk about my goals here.  I used to have a weight loss goal.  That never seems to work because it feels unattainable!
Then I had a pants size goal.  Again,  never thought I was going to make it.
So, for my new goal, I'm going to focus on fitness rather than weight or size. My goal in 184 days now is two fold. One, I will conquer Signal Knob Mountain during daylight hours. It's a 10 mile hike, and yes, it IS a mountain. I need to complete it in less than a day. Two, I will walk/run 10 miles at one time, flat surface, without being winded. Those are my goals to reach before Peru.  If I reach them, I think I can really tackle the other goals with my new healthy habits.

So, I will update as best as I can, food eaten, fitness gains, and even setbacks. I'm not good with spelling, or with grammar, but I will try my best. If you haven't noticed, I'm a bit comma happy.

So here goes.  I started a few days ago, but now I'm at 184 days and an odd number of hours.
