Fitness Partner Needed!

[Motivated in my mind]

While I don't need to lose weight I do need to get fit and maintain a healthy body.

I am lazy at heart and get bored easily. I do however love running (started 2 years ago) and have completed several 5ks so far. I did however damage the tendon in my hip (blistitis) last year and struggle to not over do my training sessions so that it doesn't flair up.

My goals are:

1) To be able to run 5 mile by April 1st with ease.

- I will do this by increasing the times I run every week and by gradually increasing my distance (I tend to not run for a couple of days, then panic and run 5 mile and then hurt....and I know this and still do it...SIGH)
- I will also increase my strength my completing the 12 week transformation program.
- I will eat regular meals even when alone so I have more energy.

2) To finally tone my stomach to where I am happy with it (2 big babies makes for some excess flab still...I actually think this is where my boobs are hiding - if only they'd creep back up.....lol). Preferably I'd like to look like the woman in the black bikini post sent out a while ago including the haircut! ha ha

- I'm hoping the 12 week program will be good for getting rid of said flab and toning the non existent boobs.
- Increase my fruit and veg intake by ordering delivery of a coop again, nothing more motivating then someone knocking on your door with FRESH produce every week!
- Stock up the fridge snack box with the fresh produce so I'll eat it and pack my lunch when I pack everyone else's!

3) To complete the onehundredpushups challenge (I got to 9 and gave up)

- Follow the plan
- Take the day off break in between so I don't burn out
- Remember that only I can achieve MY goals for ME!

SO - Who's going to keep me accountable??

These are the exact goals I have, only I hope to lose weight in the process. What is the 12 week transformation program? I missed something!

My only other goal is to start working out in the morning before work. Please, HELP!!

We share several of the same goals, I would like to start a running program, I used to run when I was in high school but must admit I have never enjoyed it. I will start and then find some reason to quit, it never seems to stick. I would like to tone up and get healthy, I must admit though that I have quite a bit of weight to lose, total near 75 lbs, I am 20 lbs. down now.
I have not yet begun the 100 push up challenge but want to try it...that and be able to do a pull up.
I am in desperate need of someone to help motivate me to get up early before work and take a spin class that is calling me name...
let me know if you're interested.

Update, I skipped my running and weight lifting today. I feel a cold coming on, but I cannot let that get in the way. How do you motivate yourselves to get out there and get back into the groove? I'm going to run tomorrow, 5 miles...seriously. I'm gonna do it...
