It was awesome! 1/2 marathon in just over 3 hours. We stuck to our walk/run intervals as planned for the whole thing. Definitely a great way to do some sight seeing on this island. Yay!
December 15th reporting day! ('Was' refers to January 2013)
Neck was 14" now 13"
Bust was 43" now 38" and 34" now 31"
Arm was 14" now 12"
Waist was 44.5" now 37"
Hips were 46.5" now 41.5"
Thigh was 26" now 22.5"
Weight was 194 lbs now 163 lbs.
I did awesome this year. Next year I am going to keep tracking my food, continue running and trying new (and old) physical activities with my family.
My goal is to reach my 145 lbs goal to be a healthy BMI. I am also going to do another half marathon in May and look for another destination half marathon around November.

Thanks icychic! It was hard to keep motivated some days but having paid for the race in advance sure helped! I think I will need to do that again.
Half marathon training for the May race starts mid February. I am not exactly sure what kind of training to do between now and then. I am going to continue running 3 times per week and cross training 2 times per week. I am just not sure of the mileage and duration to maintain fitness.
Ok holiday binging and workout skipping are done! Back to normal starts tomorrow! I didn't go totally off everything but I did enjoy my Christmas and New Years celebrations 
. Tomorrow morning will be the first weigh in of 2014. I am hoping for around 165 lbs.
the plan for fitness is running on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays (doing walk/run as that works best for me) Saturdays will. E the long run with. Y friend and we will do a specific distance. Other runs will just be for time. Right now it is -50 degrees here so the treadmill will be my friend for the next little while.
Cross training will consist of aqua fitness on Thursdays and yoga, HIIT, exercises DVD or some other form of fitness depending on what mood I am in and if the kids are 'working out with mommy' or not.
Rest days will be Wednesdays and Sundays.
Nutrition will be to continue following the program that I started for Mother's Day as it seems to work for me and is relatively easy to maintain.
If I aim for a loss of 1lbs. Per week I can potentially be a 'healthy weight' for he half marathon in May. That is good motivation!

Weigh in was good on Monday. 163.7! Yay! Today I am sick. Not sure if I should work out or just rest. Maybe I will "research" fitness stuff online. That sounds fun!
