My original goal was to build a workout routine that is sustainable long term and that gives me what I will call functional fitness.
I said "I want to be able to run up a flight of steps at work and not be gasping for air. I want to be able to play tag with my kids in the yard and not get winded. I want to be able to pick up my two-year old and carry him in the grocery store with out feeling like my arms are going to fall off. I want to be around to see and play with my grand kids!!!"
I think that that goal is a very good goal for any one starting to get in shape. But at this point I feel like I have hit that goal. I can take the steps two at a time with ease. I can hold both kids at once with very good arm strength.
As of next week Tuesday it will have been two months. My new goal is to now lose weight while maintaining the strength and stamina I have gained. I am going to increase the time of my cardio to help me burn more calories.
Feeling good, but still have a long road!
